best mobo with lan and vga?

[f300rc]

I'm looking for a reasonably priced mobo that has the following:

FC-PGA
Onboard graphics
Onboard LAN
Micro ATX preferably
Must be very stable!

Any suggestions?

Intel.

Either Intel D815EEAL Easton board with integrated i752 graphics, LAN and sound, or the ASUS CUSL2-M, with similar features. Both are very stable. Overclock is available on the CUSL2-M, but not on the D815EEAL. The CUSL2-M is a micro-ATX board.

Try something that uses the SiS 630E all-in-one chipset.

ECS has a selection of mATX mainboards using that. They all have LAN, VGA, and sound integrated as well as an AMR slot for a modem. SiS 630E is way cheaper than Intel 810E or 815E chipsets, and so are the boards.

The SIS630E based boards may be cheaper, but their performance is sub-par, as shown in Anand's review.

SiS 630E is reasonably fast in 2D graphics and business applications - and that seems to be what f300rc is after. The extra money spent for an i815E mainboard just doesn't make any difference in performance IN THAT FIELD.
