ATI chipset for AMD

[vitec]

How many motherboards with the ATI Express chipset with onboard video are available for the 939 chips. I could count only two from newegg - both are micro atx?

Are there any other chipsets that provide onboard video for the 939 CPUs ?

For an AMD64 chipset, the type of CPU doesn't matter. The existing SiS and VIA integrated-graphics chipsets can just as well be combined with socket-939.

For example:

Peter, thanks for the pointer but I would really like to a see a good integrated graphics chip like the ATIs. From the reviews it looks like I can safely play all RTS games with good resolution on the ATI chipset. Also the motherboard should support PCIe, so that I can add a graphics card at a later date.


Maybe I should have been more specific in my initial port.

So buy one with the ATI chipset then. What's the question? (ECS have one of those too)

Ecs and Msi both have boards out with the ati xpress 200 chipset. The msi has 4 ddram slots but no overclocking settings. The ecs board has only 2 ddram slots, but a few overclocking settings in the bios. Both are similarly priced, so I would download the board manuals and decide which one you prefer.

I would like to know if there are any other ones out there. Apart from ECS and MSI - both are Micro ATX and don't have enough room for future upgrades.

Maybe an Asus or Gigabyte ?
