Hi guys,

I had already posted a thread regarding a configuration,

Config:-
AMD
Athlon64 X2 3800+ (Socket AM2)
512MB DDR2 667MHz RAM

Now the mainboard that was suggested was the Asus M2N-MX
I was thinking of going with the Asus M2N PV-MX
Am I right in going for the Asus M2N PV-MX board?
Is this a quality board, does it have any snags or drawbacks?
Is Asus M2N PV-MX better than the Asus M2N-MX board?
And what is the chipset + features of this board?

And will this config :-

AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ (Socket AM2)
512MB DDR2 667MHz RAM
Asus M2N PV-MX

be able to play Rise Of Nations flawlessly and very well?(important Q)
will it be able to handle Vista very well?(with 1GB of RAM)

diff bet M2N PV-MX and M2N-MX is that the former has 6150 IGP and the latter has 6100 IGP.diff in performance is bout 5% and price diff is bout 1k.so its better to buy M2N-MX.
RON will run well but Vista will be a bit slow because the ram will be shared.
