Any comments on this MB? It has an integrated 64MB ATI video card, thay tell me,
but I'd like to know if it will work with GPL and/or F1200x, basically.

It's using the "RV100 Core", and while I can't remember just which ATI
card used that one, the R7000 ?, seeing as we're now up to "300" and
waiting for the "350" core, I'd say it's a couple of generations old

And it doesn't have 64 MB of video, it's using system memory, 8 to 256
MB of it, so while it may be decent for a desktop workstaion of some
sorts, I wouldn't count on getting too much performance from it

Unless you're really strapped for cash I wouldn't go that route

I agree. Dont buy that MB if you want to play games seriously.

OK, thanks. You're right, it doesn't have onboard video RAM. A friend who was
planning to buy it asked me, the salesman had told him that. Then I checked
on Sapphire's website and it didn't mention anything like that at all...

Looks like the problem is, importers are only bringing cheap mainboards here.

I've ordered a GA-INXP m'board. Intel's first 8x AGP, 7205 chipset. I'm
getting tired of trying to get SiS and Via boards to work 100%. Anyone tried
this board?

Also ordered R9700 pro to go with it. Anyone tried this combo?
