At Long Last!
A decent all-in-one motherboard for Intel chips.
It's from Gigabyte, of course. The GA-E7AUM-DS2H might have an ugly name, but it looks like a sweet board. It has built-in GeForce 9400 graphics (so about a quarter the speed of my current video card), and though it doesn't have the dedicated video ram of the GA-MA78GPM-DS2H, it still manages to pip it on 3DMark06 by 100 points.*
All the usual ports: 6 USB, 6 audio, gigabit ethernet, Firewire, DVI, VGA, HDMI and keyboard. No mouse, but it really is time you upgraded to USB.
Only problem is that it's brand new and no-one stocks it yet. Otherwise, that and maybe a Q8200 would make a nice new Vista box.
* The GA-MA790GP-DS4H still edges it out: 2800 to 2400 to 2300.

So I'm looking at the back of that... raw beauty of a mobo, and I have one question. Is there any particular difference between the orange USB ports and the black ones? And why, amongst the orange, is there a slot to plug my cellphone charger into (that bottom one)?
