out of the 2 listed I would go with the AN-M2 except that I'm actually going with an AN-M2HD.

K can i ask you why? what advantage is ther of doing this. Or is that just ** personal opinion because youve used abit before?

7025/7050 is the replacement for 6100/6150.
7050 (on AN-M2HD that I'm getting) allows nVidia PureVideo

Yes, I prefer abit over Asus.

If you need firewire then the Asus is the only 1 of the 3 stocked by OcUK that has it.

Other than the nVidia integrated gfx the alternative is to go with a 690G based mobo.
Or you could go with an Intel CPU & a G33 based mobo.
