choosing from budget socket A mobos

Hi there experts,

I'm building a system comprising up of Barton 2500+. Its going to be primarily used for scientific calculations and other such programs that will make use of lots of fp calculations with full cpu load.

For this purpose Im inclined towards going for a built-in graphics card solution (would play games occationally though). how would you guys rank the following mobos:
1- MSI K7N2G
2- Chaintech 7NIF2
3- AOpen AK79G
-these are the only choices I have 🙁

MSI seems to perform well but have heard lots of bad things about MSI... Dont know much about the others.
I havent done much overclocking but would definitely prefer the one that has good options and overcloacking capabilities.

so guys there you have it. which mobo shud it be and why?

Thanks a lot
 
Why are those your ONLY choices? I would try and get the Shuttle MN31N. Has the MCP-T southbridge and dual video output.

But of those 3 I would go with the 2- Chaintech 7NIF2. They use the C-Media sound chip, and I like that way better then the realtek.
