I'm looking a motherboard for my old 478 socket P4. Is there any good brand which offers 845 based motherboard with onboard graphics? The only brands I can see are Mercury, Asrock, His etc. which I do not want to buy. I'm looking for MSI, Gigabyte, Asus...kind of good brands. So are they available?
