I am looking to build a good (upgradable) beginner system for a friend. I have decided on the nForce2 IGP. Question is:

Is the added cost of the MCP-T worth it over the plain vanilla MCP? My friend will be doing some gaming, but nothing really hardcore and he will only have 2 speakers.

Plain MCP board
--MSI K7N2G-L Retail - $115 + $5 S&H (NewEgg)

MCP-T Board
--LEADTEK K7NCR18G-PRO - $145 + $0 S&H (NewEgg)

Due to cost limitations, I am leaning to the MSI board, unless anyone can talk me out of it.

Thanks

They also differ in the FireWire capability, and the Leadtek has dual VGA-out, if that makes any difference. At this time, it appears that the Leadtek is out of stock at newegg but I see it for $135.49 shipped from Googlegear.
