Well, I had a little <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=563388#563388" target="_new">problem</A> with my Abit IS-10. I just got my BIOS chip back from Tmod and it's still messed up. When I actually can get the thing to POST, the RAM timings changed. It's as if the mobo was getting confused with each boot/flash. Anyhow, I'm RMAing the board and I was looking at the dirt-cheap <A HREF="http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=501" target="_new">MSI 661FM-L</A>. I don't know much about the 661 chipset, but I'm just looking for stability. This is going to be an entertainment PC to watch movies on, etc. Any input would be appreciated.

One other thing. What's the difference between the 865G and 865GV chipsets?
