the ONLY 2 mATX 939 boards out there were just introduced this past month. Finally I can use the same case and try out a64 on the BTV pc. is there an advantage with using A64 over P4 cpu w/ btv? i'll soon find out.

- winfast /foxconn board is 99 bucks. nforce4 - no integrated video. All the reviews I've read so far say nforce4 is skt939 king

- MSI is 150 bucks but is has ati xpress 200 IGP which is first dx9 igp... same core w/2 pipes (vs 4) and about as fast as $80-100 ati x300 discreet card. thats pretty amazing
