Please help need good AMD mobo.

I am looking at these two

the top one is an ASUS Intel G965

The bottom is an ECS Nvidia 7100/630i


I want to do some minor gaming so I will just get a gfx card later.

However, I want to hook up a Pentium Wolfdale 2.5 ghz upto the mobo. And DDR2 800 mhz RAM OCZ 2gi RAM

So which one should i choose? the NVidia with the better onboard graphics but supposedly risky and problematic or the Intel with less onboard graphics

Thanks for any replies.

Funny I was gonna say the opposite. Whats wrong with Intel chipset mobo's????

Of those two I'd get the Asus G965.

Intel chipsets, generally speaking, have less issues and more overclocking headroom.. In fact they are considered to be the standard agaunst which other chipsets are compared..nForce chipsets, while having better integrated graphics, are still not enough for games, so the slight increase in GFX performance will be useless..
Go for intel bro..
BTW can't you afford a G35 or even G33 mobo? There are so many cheap and yet good mobos for these chipsets (from ASUS or Gigabyte for example) and they are far better than the two you mentioned.

I love my p35 rock solid stable. My original 630i wouldn't boot a 45nm Core 2 no matter what. Go Intel, Graphics suck (won't use their gpus even since the GMA 950) but you said you'll be getting a card so no biggie. Anyway, both boards are um...... budget if you ask me. I mean two ram slots is kinda ghetto imo.

Sorry guys but i won't be needing this computer anymore. I just switched to AMD because i found it would be a better performance to price ratio than the intel.


Thanks anyway

i am thinking of this

Case
HEC 585 PSU w/

Mobo
ASRock
16 gig max RAM DDR2 1066
ATX
ATI Radeon HD 3200 integrated VRAM (512 max)
AM2+/AM2
$119

RAM OCZ 2 gig 800 mhz ( going to OC) don't know how though $22

Processor: AMD Kuma BE 7750 2.7 Ghz $60

I am using it for minor gaming and a lot of word and web surfing, it is for my family so it needs some power
I was on 150 dollar budget until I found out my original case wouldn't be big enough and I needed a new psu

can't spend alot though. Already at $201

If you guys could give me some other sites to look at other than newegg and tigerdirect and compusa it would be greatly appreciated
