You am thinking about a new box with this mobo.

http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=106&&bid=2&sid=18778

Thing is I dont really want to get a gfx card just yet as I dont have thetime to play atm and like evryone am waiting for the dx10.

Thing is with thses new mobo's do they have a basic graphic display abilty? I mean if I dont bother a gfx card, windows isnt going to be all chunked out of safe mode is it?

no motherboard worth owning has onboard video

unless you're wanting to own an office machine

really, just buy a cheap vid card for ~$80 or so. Then sell it when you get the cash together for a proper video card.

'good one' and '$80' dont mix

256MB NVidia 7300GS is not bad value for money for $80.

you wanted an onboard video, they are usually far from "good" so just buy a crappy old s3 virge pci for like $2 and use that until you get a decent one for games.
