Core 2 Duo mobo with on-board video?

topbanana · 21 Jan 2007 at 12:56

My trust Duron server has gone pop after several years of good service. I think it's actually the PSU, but it's a good excuse for an upgrade!

I'd like to build the new server around a Core 2 Duo. It sits downstairs and is never plugged into a monitor, so on board video is what I'm after.

The biggest other concern is reliability, and then thirdly cost.

Any recommendations?

Agreed - the 945G-DVI is rock solid is the way that only Intel chipsets are, it's cheap as chips and not a bad performer either.

Another vote for the 945G-DVI.

Rock solid board, and the onboard graphics aren't too shabby either.

And if you want, you can always squeeze it into a mATX case!

Awesome, thanks for the unanimous recommendation!
