I want 2 buy good motherboard.Is GIGABYTE GA 8I915G DUO a good choice?Will onboard intel gma 900 be able 2 run doom3 smoothly without additional graphic card?

It will run smoothly enough on lower resos but it getts choppy on higher ones, overall its good for average performance...

Get a gfx card in a second hand trade and enjoy....

If you dont dream of playing games at high resolutions and fiddling around with those Eye candy settings then the 915 based chipset (Intel Extreme Graphics 2) will run Doom 3 at a complete low resolution but it will run for sure thats a fact.Trust me it will be better to go in for a dedicated Graphics card rather than investing in a Cr@ppy onboard solutions.Games which will release in the later half this year will definetly be hell bent on demanding atleast a Geforce 4 or Higher based card to atleast get them going on your system.Its better to be safe with a decent graphic card like Geforce 6600Gt than settling for an onboard solution which would hardly last for a while now.:(
