I'm considering purchasing a board soon, and since I'm on a tight budget, I thought ATI's new 9100IGP would be a good choice, since I don't have much money to play around with and would still like to play a few games from time to time. Right now the only board I see is the Asus P4R800-VM, but it's MicroATX, no SATA, and no RAID, which is something I'd like to upgrade to in the future (no overclocking however). So my question is if anyone knows anything about other manufacturers producing this chipset, or if theres another board out there with good integrated graphics, SATA RAID, ATX, 800FSB and dual DDR400, and LAN. I'm building this system from scratch, and all I have to work with is a monitor, and want to keep the price under 1K. thanks a lot
