Best suited motherboard is DG965WH. But if you can wait till Feb new MSI motherboards with ATi onboard graphics card (RX 1300se) is coming.

X1300 is the card onboard but the pricing is as high as rs. 14000/- onwards as with IL-integrated lan or IWIFI support takes it somewhat more high.. if you are on intel Proccy go for intel mobo with DDr2 800 or 1ghz support and sataII .. thats would be far more better for C2d , rather then to wait as waiting never ends

Does intel mobo support nvidia gfx cards???

Also what is the price of intel DG965WH mobo??? Can i go for intel D965RY mobo??? Which one is best preferable???

I would suggest MSI P965-NeoF or G965M-FI.

^^ Please mention its price so tat it will be easy for me to select it...

BTW, is there any good mobo which does't have onboard gfx, as iam going to buy gfx card separately...

YEAH EVERY MOBO SUPPORTS NVIDIA GFX THAT SUPPORTS AGP8X or PCIe architecture.. WELL YOU CAN HAVE COMPATIBLITY PROBLEMS IN ATI CHIPSETS , if you install a NVIDIA GFX ON THEM..

dg965ry... 6.4k i think

its 6.2k @ delhi

MSI G965M-FI: Rs. 7895/- + tax
MSI P965-NeoF: Rs. 6700/- + tax
Intel DG965RY: Rs. 6820/-
GIGABYTE GA-965P-DQ6: Rs. 16,500/-
GIGABYTE 965P-DS3: Rs. 12,500/-
GIGABYTE GA-965G-DS3: Rs. 12750/-
Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi: Rs. 13,900/-

does all the above mentioned mobo has onboard gfx card???any good mobo which does't have onboard gfx???

ya all of them has onboards

Please recommend me a best mobo available under 8000 for this config...

Only G965 chipset supports onboard graphics.
I would recommend MSI G965M-FI. Its better to have onboard graphics as a backup.

What about MSI P965 Platinum mobo??? Is it beter than MSI G965M-FI???

Please also tell me the price of MSI P965 Platinum mobo... Does MSI P965 Platinum has onboard gfx???

If so, then Please tell me the spec of Video card in both mobo...

Also is XFX PCIe - GeForce 7600 GT supported by both mobo???

Thnx

ASUS P5B would be ur best choice, equally good is Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 if u are not planning on setting up raid, infact second one would be better if not setting up raid, P5B is around 8500/-

Now confused a lot

I have following mobo in mind and dono which to select...

Can any one tell me the price of all mobo (Preferably chennai price). Also recommend me a good mobo...

MSI P965 Platinum

MSI G965M-FI

MSI P965-NeoF

MSI G965MDH

MSI Q965MDO

MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition

Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi

Asus P5WDH Deluxe

Intel DG965RY

intel DG965WH

MSI P965-NeoF. I would definitely buy this if I were in your position. It will allow you to overclock to a moderate extent and is seriously great value for money.

The Platinum is too expensive and not worth it unless you want to seriously overclock.
G965 is not nearly as good as P965.
The Asus mobo's are too expensive
975 is worthless uless you want a Crossfire setup.
Intel is ruled out because it sucks compared to MSI.

Where are you guys getting your info from???????

There is no such thing

@ navino87

You have already mentioned that you will be buying a graphics card at the time of getting the computer. So onboard graphics does not matter.

Gigabyte DS3 is something i would also support, if u plan to overclock. However, for no overclocking usage & solid stability intel D965RY is best

Go for:

NVIDIA nForce 680i

intel socket 775; 1333 Mhz FSB
2x16 SLi; third PCIe expanson slot;
supports DDR2 800 MHz; 46 PCIe lanes and 9 links; 6xSATAII;
2xPATA; RAID:0,1,0+1,5,
DUAL Gigabit ethernet;
10 USB 2.0
5xPCI; HAD(Azalia) audio..

NEWS:: U can overclock 2.66GHz C2Q to 3.45GHz(amazing na)

@saurav !!! I THINK THAT YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT CHIPSET COMPATIBILTY
THE MSI TEAM LET ME KNEW THAT IF I INSTALL A NVIDIA GPF CARD THEN COMPATIBILITY ISSUES MAY OCCUR ON ATi Chipset...

SO FIRST RESEARCH on the topic and then tell it here...

JUST DONT COME SIT AND WRITE
AND Firstly BRING SOME RESPECT IN YOUR WORDS...

HOW CAN YOU SAY WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS....

I have used Ati chipsets in the past and have encounterd problems in using Nvidia cards.... IF YOU WANT A PROOF then google by writing MSI RS482m2 problems with nvidia graphics..

and dude TEll me a thing on how many Ati chipset boards have you tried installing NVIDIA GPU...

SO DO A RESEARCH AND THEN SAY ANYTHING...

Check this thing......it supports what shantanu says:

Thanks a lot for every one replied to my post...

Now i am planning to get a comp for my office with similar config. Since it is fully for working with multiple documents at same time and nothing to do with graphics, i want a board which has a decent onboard gfx card.

Also a board which support quadcore for future upgradability is best recomended...

Can any one please mention which of the above mentioned mobo has onboard gfx card in it.

Just buy any mobo based on G965. It has onboard graphics as well as support for Quadcore.

NVIDIA 680i Nforce is a good option for your needs

have a look to this

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=397158&postcount=20

I would hardly recommend the nForce 680i for an office rig.

@47shailesh Does this mobo has onboard gfx??? What is its coat??? And will it be easily available here in chennai???


@drvarunmehta does Intel DG965RY, intel DG965WH support quad core??? Do you mean tat nForce 680i in best suited for office purpose???

Any other good mobo with onboard gfx card???

The nForce 680i is an ultra high-end gaming mobo with SLI. It costs as much as a low end PC. Don't even bother enquiring about the price. It will be in excess of 15k minimum.

Check this site for a list of Quad core supporting mobo's
*www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/products/desktop/processor/processors/pentium-4/tech/299987.htm

Both Intel DG965RY and Intel DG965WH are on the list.

my vote too lies wit either the GA-965G-DS3 or DG965RY
