Any 965 chipset based mobo with GMA x3000 has probably the best onboard graphics.

2. ASUS P5B-VM not P5B (6500)
3. Intel 965RY

the onboard X3000 rocks. its the best onboard i have used till now. i can play half life 2 in med-high settings and nfs carbon smoothly in low settings.

btw the DG965WH is available in india. im using it now. its a really nice board.

I heard that GMA x3000 even supports Vista. Is it true.

yeah. im writing this from vista. the drivers are still in beta stages but still runs fine.

vista gave a rating of 3.3 for graphics.

What kind of frame rates do you get for games. Does it even play FEAR.
