Due to a lack of upgrade options for RAM and CPU, and a plethora of issues with Vista, it's time to ditch my MSI RC410M-L Motherboard. At this point I see three primary options for a replacement:
Option 1: An Intel G35 Motherboard. It has all the features I want, but I'm a bit cautious due to previous bad experiences with Intel's IGP offerings, especially with games.
Option 2: A Geforce 7150 Motherboard. Again, all the features I want, but the lack of dual-channel RAM is a bit of a concern.
Option 3: Wait for Nvidia's MCP79 to hit the market. The concern here is how long the wait will be. I'd prefer to order sometime in the next 6 weeks or so, but if it is really worth waiting for I could be convinced to hold off a bit longer.
Gaming isn't a big concern, as World of Warcraft is about as demanding as my gaming needs get these days, and I'm fairly certain any of them will do as well or better than my current Radeon Xpress 200 IGP, while giving me output options other than just VGA. I just want a nice stable platform, with few headaches and room to upgrade.
Thank you in advance for any help that can be offered.
