RE: Re: Windows Media Centre...

Just caught up with this thread.

Yes we have the motherboard in stock but they are in very short supply.
We've had a couple of people cancel orders with Dabs and buy from us as
although they seem much cheaper (substantially less than we can buy for
trade) they don't seem to be able to ship at this price.

The board is excellent and the on-board graphics would make the video card
you're suggesting redundant. It also is one of the few boards with both
optical and co-ax audio onboard. If you add the cost of a half decent video
card (to get component out) and a half decent audio card (to get co-ax and
optical i/o) the board isn't that expensive. You would only need an
additional video card if you want to play higher performance games.

The onboard video is Intel GMA 900

and the audio is Intel High Definition Audio

Hope some of this helps
