GeForce 6150 Motherboard Choices

[imported_Bonzo]

I am looking for a "Good non OC AM2 GeForce 6150 motherboard" but am torn between these three: Asus M2NPV-VM, MSI K9NGM2-FID, DFI C51PV-M2/G. There are no available reviews so it is very confusing. Anyone have any experience with these motherboards? Any reply would be very helpful. Thanks

Nice replies guys but the OP did request user experience feedback not just a spec list.

I asked the same question in the S939 version of this thread a while back but was completely ignored on there too.
I'll keep watching here for developments but am leaning toward the MSI...

sadly, not too many people have jumped on AM2 because of the C2D blitz, so there isn't a lot of feedback to give.

on the other hand, we do know that the MSI K8NGM2-FID (AM2) board has all the recommended features requested by users, and is based off its predecessor the s939 K8NGM2-FID board which has proved to be the most popular s939 6150 chipset motherboard with users.
