Athlon Dual Core compatible motherboard + + Nic onboard video? [microatx motherboard] [dual core]
Q: I have a server with dual-core Athlons build and I was wondering if there was an ATX or MicroATX motherboard has onboard video and Nic?
Re:Do you actually need a server board?
ATI's motherboards might fit your needs nicely.
Re:I believe that Jetway makes a motherboard with a discrete integrated graphics card, with 32mb of memory on the motherboard. Faster than an integrated graphics card, and the motherboard's not more than 100$, if I recall.
Re:Is the Tyan board Dual Core compatible?
Re:Here's one, (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130485#DetailSpecs) might want to check for X2 compatibility though.
Re:Anything else perhaps a little cheaper?
Re:Atacom (http://atacom.com/program/print_html_new.cgi?&USER_ID=&cart_id=&Item_code=MBA9_TYAN_K8_E5) has it
Re:I can't seem to find that for sale anywhere.

You're kidding, right?
Almost all servers have onboard video. The a64/opteron architecture is the premier server CPU. Also, servers with onboard video don't have UMA, so integrated memory controller makes no difference at all. Not to mention a64 has improved UMA performance since venice/san diego.
OP I would look at The Tomcat K8E (http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tomcatk8e.html) for NF4 with onboard video for a s939 server platform
Great suggestion. I liked the board… but what I highly doubt to be equally atractive, is its price.

Re:no NF4's have onboard.
Re:Shouldn't this be a thread for the Motherboard forum? Anyways… You are way better off with a simple 939Motherboard and ading discrete graphics, such as a Radeon X300 SE. Almost ALL motherboards have onboard nic's.
