Just another generalized topic to talk about mobos.
I will start it off by discussing the AMD 790GX chipset. A 55nm northbridge that contains an HD 3300 which is confusing because it is actually about as powerful as my 4760 from what I am reading.
Basically these types of mobos you hook on a single display to the port on the mobo and use another card ONLY when you are playing heavy games.
The beauty of that is it gives you ALOT of choices on how you want your system to be. With the GPU alone it makes a nice living room PC. Grab some Xbox360 controlers and play some Left 4 Dead with friends.
