Instead of that, get a good Graphics Card.

Graphic Card (GeForce 8600 GT) is the main thing that effect gaming quality...!!!

intel mobos are not good gaming mobos so better get a XFX 650i ultra,ASUS mobo(680i,P35 based).
none of D975xbx2 or DX38BT mobos have onboard video so u will need to get a graphics card too unless u dont have one.
I suggest u to get either ASUS or 650i ultra mobo.

most probably,.........no.:D:D
none of the mobos i mentioned have onboard graphix.
i u want good onboard graphix then u can either get a 630i ultra(nforce 7150) or intel DG965WH(X3000) or. DG33TL(3100).All have good onboard graphix.but 630i ultra is best among them in terms of onboard grapix.

but 630i ultra is nt good for gaming as the single channel memory will bottleneck the overall performance .....

if u have to go for intel mobo .. i wud advice u to go for dg33fbc or tl ..
both are good ..
have good onboard graphics...
i tried them and they fared pretty well...
can play at medium settings ...
but a gfx card will give a better boost obviously if u are an avid gamer...

why do you want to buy a motherboard with onboard graphics?
Even mid range graphics cards struggle in some games like Crysis....

arre bhai read the first post carefully.
from the 3 mobos he has mentioned none has onboard gfx which clearly suggests that he owns a GPU.
