Was looking at some of the cheaper u-atx g31 boards, retailing new for about 40 notes.
Couple things: is the g31 a decent chipset or am I much better off with the g33?
Does the integrated gfx on most (all?) u-atx boards a real limiter for overclocking? Does it even matter, since the e5200 doesn't require me to exceed the rated FSB speed of the chipset?
Was the integrated graphics only a limiting factor when exceeding the rated FSB speed for the mobo? Ie pushing g33 > 333 FSB?
The reason I'm looking at a u-atx board is simply because I only need 1 pci-e, 1 pci, 1 sata, 1ide, don't need anything fancy like firewire. And I'm hoping a smaller mobo will improve tidiness and airflow.
