I like the board its cheaper then the one I specified and it is THX certified, Its on my new list!

for the graphics how good is the on board, as I only have games from the early 2000 so and the price of the 6870 I can get a blu ray drive and 30gb ssd and have HD movies in the bedroom, keep the wife happy
