Integrated GPU on Motherbaord

[AKHandyman]

Okay, just a got a call from one of my customers and he wants to build a computer for his service shop. Nothing fancy, just to run a few programs for his gas station/service repair facility. I told him he doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles, but should be able to have the options of future upgrades. Question: What mobo out there is good with integrated graphics? I need some input, real quick ... any thoughts?

[AKHandyman]

Aw come on guys ... anyone got an idea?

The MSI, ASUS, and Gigabyte mATX boards have the awesome Nvidia 6150 chip, the MSI and ASUS even have DVI out.

Problem is that the boards are about $70-90.

Anyone else? :confused:

Ominous Gamer got it. the geforce6150 has some nice intergrated grphics. they also come with a pci-express for upgrade. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131570.
i also think for a video and motherboard 86 is cheap

Well, for once, I think Ominous might be right, as I had already read a review on this particular mobo. I was leaning towards this one and just waiting to see if anyone else had some other thoughts ... thanks.

But uh, I agree with him, the 6150 is good enough to draw the windoze desktop at least.

Its more then enough for the desktop, according to PCstats it can pull an amazing 15 fps in Doom 3 at 640x480.:p

Now what would be a reasonable Opty to go with it ... the Venus 148 PIB? and what brand of RAM?
