The only boards I've seen which have an AM3 socket and onboard video have the older chipsets which lack support for 1600 MHz and 8Gig dimms or the boards intended for the opteron 3000 series. I do not know whether the latter will work with an FX. Supermicro's line of opteron 3000 boards is at: http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron3000/ They seem to cost on the order of $300 w/o SAS o $400 with. Otherwise onboard graphics means gx790 boards. OTOH, it looks like a opteron 4300 chip or two with one of these boards: http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron4000/ makes for a great atx or micro-atx compute box for only a bit more than one would pay for a piledriver FX chip and fx990 board. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
