Help needed with Mobo choice please

[longshanks]

I am after a new AM2 mATX motherboard. It must be Matx and preferably have onboard graphics as i don't have a graphics card at the mo. Any ideas please? Budget is not important. Thanks

Is the AN-M2HD a better board than the AN-M2? I would like to use DVI (Onboard).

Scrub last question. Don't fancy the AN-M2HD now after reading some reviews about it. Apparently the reviewer said it crashed after intensive gaming tests (On-Board Graphics) it doesn't have DVI. I think i will go for the ASUS M2NPV-VM instead.

What do you guys think?

Here is the review:

Read what it says about heat etc. What do you think guys.

Is the Asus M2NPV-VM board better? I got to have firewire for my camcorder. Would i notice the difference in the graphics?

Anyone?

Which mobo would you choose out of the 2 i have put down?

 

[longshanks]

well, I bought & use an AN-M2HD ...

Do you use DVI with it? How do you rate the board? Good for gaming etc? Is it better than the Asus one? Ta
