On the motherboard segment, we've found a new model from MSI, that features NVIDIA's Geforce 6150 the fastest integrated graphics as of yet. Not only does this board offers some decent onboard graphics, it also comes with a DVI output - something you seldom see on a motherboard with integrated graphics. The MSI K8MGM2-FID has all of the above mentioned, and is priced fairly well at $189 for this all in one board. If you're interested in getting, head on over to Fuwell, it's available there.
