Hi. I need to buy 70 computers for a game center with Athlon 64 cpus.

For what I saw there is no performance difference between this 3 chipsets.

The 6100 is cheaper and richer in features than the Nforce 4.
(I don't care about integrated video) and is cheaper. There is an ECS Nforce4 motherboard.

I'm afraid of the quality of the 6100 motherboards (cause they're integrated). My options for this two chipsets are ECS and FOXCONN.

I'm not from the US, and the price difference here is big.

The computers would be running with 7600GT.

Is there a quality difference between the 6100 and the 550 motherboards ?

What should I do ?

if your buying for a game center steer clear of hte integrated chips. Useless video. Id avoid ECS (ive had issues iwth them.. if u get htem be prepared to buy 3rd party sound cards an possibly IDE controllers too). Id try to get the 550s or if u can talk see if you can get a discount buying 70 570s (non sli). Other than that. its good.
