high end mobo with onboard video

[badkuk]

hi peeps,

Here's hoping someone can help us out. The company is looking for a mobo with the ff features:

1.) Core 2 Duo/Quad Core support
2.) 4 memory slots
3.) supports total memory of 8gb or more
4.) 4 or more SATA ports
5.) onboard video

There are a lot of high end mobos out there, but all of them tend *not* to have onboard video -- which means we need to shell out an additional 1 - 1.5k for the PCI-Express video card. Since these boards will be used as servers, i really don't see the point of getting a 128/256mb PCI-Express card -- heck, we can surviveon 8Mb PCI-Express video cards if someone would make them.

We've plum run out of PCI video cards, and i'm not really keen on buying second hand stuff, particularly electronics and computer stuff.

Intel seems to be the only one making high end mobos with onboard video, but it seems all the newer models don't have the PS/2 and mouse ports any more. We'd prefer ones that have the standard ps2/mouse ports.

You can try looking at XFX gaming motherboards. These support dual-core or core duo CPUs and have onboard Nvidia 7050 or similar video card (share memory). It also has PS2 kb/mouse ports. The model I got didn't have any serial nor parallel ports but had four USB ports at the back plus a couple more onboard for the front. I don't remember the number of memory slots nor SATA ports it had though.

I have bought one and using it in the office which is handy for doing photoshop work.

You can try inquiring at INFONET Computer Center in V-Mall

Look for "Newton"

Just just checked my mobo... it has two memory slots (4gb max) and 4 SATA ports.

XFX nForce 610i with geforce 7050.

high end would be Gigabyte.

but the only Gigabyte intel compatible board with decent videocard built-in is the one with 9400M chip.

Just make sure you use a 64-bit OS to fully utilize the 8gig memory capacity.
