foxconn vs ATI Xpress 200

[seanxx]

I have been looking around for some good motherboards 939 , and my easiest supplier has these 2
6150K8MA-8EKRS
ATI Radeon Xpress 200
which of these is best ? btw I found some reviews quite strange below

http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles...6&id=1757&pg=2

mentions a problem relating to 24-pin powersupply over 20-pin !? will this be a problem for me?
since my current 400w p/s only has 20 (standard) pins.


this guy here says the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 was the only board to crash !!???

what is your question? the ati xpress 200 is a graphics chip not a mobo

the foxconn board has nvidia 6100 graphics

that 2nd link was a guy testing out some mobo's and he said the one that had the ati igp crashed, that is all

the foxconn board looks decent and they said it's not cluttered up like the gigabyte... buy it

Foxconn... only if there are no other options. They mainly produce boards for OEM companies. I've never used them, but have heard bad things, especially in terms of overclocking. Get an ASRock maybe, or a Gigabyte, if you want a stable and inexpensive board.

ty for the replies I'll see wot I can do btw , the ATI mobo model # is RS482M4-F
I'll see wot I can dredge up on that ...

just to add , the benefit of having a powerful onboard vga , like wot the above boards have , allows me to wait until at least april next year to get say maybe a 7800GT !
so the onboard on the above mobos' will at least play most if not all my current games..
Generals zero hour and source r my main games at the mo .
and with the foxconn getting at least 600 in 3dmark05 , it is strong enuff for these...as I have a fx5200 on 1
of my pcs' and it only gets 269 on 3dmark05 ?!

btw this is where I'll be buying my stuff from , couldn't get a screen shot or nothing ..?
