well u can get a nforce 2 motherboard with a sempron processor and enjoy with the onboard graphics

but tht wod be a 32 bit system

if u increase ur budget by another 2-3k u can get a 64 bit system which wod be future-proof

search the forums, there are many post related to this

and also the MSI k8mm-ilsr doesnt have onboard video and he wanted tht

Sourabh has a point in that not everyone has access to Lamington Road prices and choices. E.g., I live >500 km as the crow flies from the nearest metro.

But the K8MM-ILSR does have onboard graphics. I've used two of them and they seem to be good economical mobos except that they don't have Gigabit LAN which may not be important to a lot of users. The S3 Unichrome graphics is no great shakes but OK for most things except serious gaming.

An nForce 2 mobo with onboard gfx such as a Krypton C18G-400 offers much better graphics than anything currently available for S754 A64. Paired with a Sempron or, better still if you can still get it, an Athlon XP 2600+, offers very good performance for about 9k.

Sourabh stop taking chip that seriously :p. The k8mm ilsr has onboard VIA UniChrome gfxs. Although the k8vx doesnt have it it was just a suggestion ;)
There is also a gigabyte k8s670m with onboard SiS Mirage 2 gfx.

Although like pimpom said these are a strict no-no for gaming.

currently almost all the mobo bases on 754 amd 64 bit pro. are upgrading their mobo to include on board graphic
but if u see their secs a month back u would find that they said that thiere is no onboard graphic.
this was done to woo the section of the gamers who any way use agp cards so they figured it then why to increase the cost of mobo for the component which is useless.

but they were proved wrong as in no time this mobo where booed by the indian buyers who are very price consisious and belives in marginal utility
concept.

Well the K8mm and K8S760M have been available since a long time now. Its Ati with its express200 chipset thats gonna give the others some serious competition. Also Nvidia might have something up its sleeves.
