Motherboard with Intel onboard graphics : Intel 915GVWB or GLDW, no PCI-E slot for upgrading graphics, both are MicroATX form factor

motherboard with onboard graphics & PCI-E slot, Intel 915GAG, MicroATX

Intel motherboard, cheap & best at stock, forget tweaking or overclocking

Asus motherboard is good, with onboard gfx but the PCI-E X16 slot is in reality working at PCI-E X4, which is same as AGP 8X speed, so don't install anything higher then a 6600 LE on it

Hi guys Iam totally confused about selecting a Mob Intel 915 gavl or 915 gvwb or 915 gag. Iam a non tech guy and Iam basically buying this pc for my Kids educational softwares (not for gaming at present) . I may invest around 5k for a graphics card next year.So pls suggest me a Mobs which suits me. In my place GAVL(Rs. 5500) and GVWB (4500) are available and iam not sure about GAG. I also need a LAN card Kindly explain to me in detail

915GAVL is good, but full ATX, which will be costly the reason I suggested GAG is it's cost

Since now U have mentioned it will be used for kids educational purpose, I will say go for the Asus P5GL-MX, & later add a Geforce 6200 which will be enough for all their gaming needs

I don't think they will play Doom 3 or far cry, will they

I will search for Intel GAG mob. But pls confirm whether Gavl contains a PCI-E and whether I can add a geforce 6200 in it?
2)At present NO. But Iam not sure whether my kids are going to ask for Doom3 game or higher than that, if they ask for it in future, what mob should I go for now?
