i just bought this ASUS A8N-VM CSM Socket 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard w/ AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 2000MHz HT 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor and gig stick of corsair value select memory. So far i've put Battlefield 2, bf1942, quake 3 half-life(everything), Warcraft 3 and haven't really had any problems with settings at mid to low on the graphics. Gameplay is still nice and if it ever became too big an issue i can always disable my onboard video and get a expensive pci-e video card. I was shocked how well it plays most of the games i have on and only newer or future games are really taxing on video cards. Besides, most of the guys i know that are really competive in gaming turn down the graphics to up their gameplay. Hope this is helpful. I've had the pc for a couple weeks now and i'm impressed with it so far.
