[QUOTE="Lily, post: 27719, member: 16719"] [b]A8N-VM CSM[/b] I'm in the middle of building my new HTPC, and I'm using this board (A8N-VM CSM) currently. Although I don't intend to play any game with this board, but I want a video card better than an entry level card such as ATI 9250. Anyway, I can't remember what the benchmark test was, but is definately better than ATI Radeon 9250 chipset and playing DVD & capturing TV etc...is absolutely no problem. The reason I chosen this board is because it has TV-Out feature on board. So, I don't need to buy a separate video card while connecting to my TV. One thing I can't get it fully working is the dual mode between my monitor & TV. But I decide I will not connect my monitor and save the money not having to purchase a separate video card. I didn't choose the Gigabyte motherboard because it didn't fit in my Silverstone LC11M case and also didn't have the TV-Out feature. So far, everything running well. But I heard that this motherboard chipset may have some bug while saving large file onto serial ata hard drive. I haven't done any research about this bug yet, and didn't have enough time to test it yet too. Since I'm still deciding what tv card i should get. Hope my feedback help your decision. [/QUOTE]
