| Post subject: | Nvidia 8200, 8300 Motherboards experience |
Both of my KM machine mother boards have taken a dive and I am hunting for a new and improved replacement. The AMD 3800+ processors are ok so I am just looking for a mother board. Has anyone had experience with ether ASUS M3N78 PRO with on board GeForce 8 series Video or BIOSTAR TForce TF8200 A2+ with on board GeForce 8 series Video From what I have read is that the Asus chipset runs hot. I also see that the Biostar has about 4X the heat sink of the Asus but I haven't found any good reviews for that board. Anybody have any real world experience with these board or some thing similar.

Hello Last weekend I just upgraded my box to an Abit AN78GS motherboard with AMD Dual Core 5050E (45W) Processor. It's an 8200 chipset and so far so good. Works perfect with Knoppmyth 5.5. I really like being able to use on-board graphics. It is ATX and has three pci slots. 
I have 2gb of ddr2 800 memory. I hope to test it out with VDPAU when myth .22 rolls out final. |

It's good to know that the GeForce 8 series on board video works in R5.5 without having to update the video driver. I am also trying to prepare for the next release with VDPAU drivers. I also wanted the third pci slots so I have room for a modem to receive caller ID information. I looked for the Abit AN78GS but couldn't find it for sale anywhere. RacerX where did you find yours and what kind of $. nmcaullay your M3N-H/HDMI looks identical to the M3N78 PRO that I can get here. Do you think your 8300 chip set runs hot when under load? TVBox |

Hi there, Not sure about hot, as the case is "uncovered" due to the zalman cooler being too big for my old case. It is shoved in a drawer, so that doesnt matter anyway.. I'm not using VDPAU yet, was sorta waiting for R6 to go "gold". What method can i use to measure temp of the onboard 8300? Is it a simple test to try VDPAU and compare load/heat? Nathan |
