Thread: Which Mobo?

Hi Guys, I want to know about the mobo that has onboard graphics and a PCIe x16 2.0 slot (From intel and other like asus, msi etc.). Does DG45ID has a PCIe x16 2.0 slot? Some site say it has while other say it has PCIe x16 1.0. Please help as i am going to buy a new assembled PC. I have decided on other components but when it comes to the mobo i am very confused as in the market there are various types of mobos:angry:. Basically i want to buy a mobo which has both onboard graphics and a PCIe x16 2.0 slot. Which is a better mobo DG45ID or DG43NB or DQ45CB? Is Asus,MSI, Gigabyte motherboards are better than Intel in terms of features and other things? Does all mobos which has 2 PCIe x16 2.0 support nvidia SLI and ATI Crossfire? Thank you.

mobo=motherboard.

I dont understand y u r looking for both these features. The following mobo is what i recomend. It has a PCIE 2.0 slot and onboard video card.

Many mobos with 2 PCIe slots support SLI/Crossfire. BUT many of them have SLI/Crossfire configs at 8x/8x config, which IMO, is not good. Look for boards that have full 16x/16x config. Those boards are pretty costly.
