Migs, those 7050 boards are horrific. I was thinking of getting one of those, but broke down and got a 7300GS discrete board (under 2k). For my apps^H^H^H^H games like Oblivion, it's too slow. The 8400GS is not any better. The 7050 is much, much worse (even lower performance than a 6100). In my o

Yes i'll start with 2gb. Otherwise this is a personal budget rig so i want to buy the minimum i need. i think i won't go for penryn. The locally available motherboards with integrated video on nvidia nforce don't support it. I don't want to buy a separate video card, but i don't want intel integra
