Northbridge - I'm confused

[MagGoT_4_liFE]

I'm going to build an older system, a 939 x2, and will be using this mobo (its micro atx) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138264
it says the Northbridge is a NVIDIA GeForce 6100. will this support a newer card like a 7900gt or 7900 gtx? I'm not sure. . .

Yes, but that's a crap motherboard.

Yes, but that's a crap motherboard.

That board is GREAT as far as overclocking!!!
It has lots of voltage and memory timing settings as well....don't say a motherboard is junk just because it has integrated video or is mATX.

It will support normal PCI-e x16 graphics cards

Biostar leaves a LOT to be desired.. Overclocking isn't the be all end all.

Proof? All reviews about the Biostar T-force series have been great.

I have had personal experience with the AM2 version of the motherboard.

i have the socket 754 version(basically the same with some minor changes) and i love it! its very stable the overcloking options are wonderful and its got a low price so i think its a great board and yes it will support a newer card fine

They are not known for their performance. They have a reputation as a budget board. If you want a budget board, then take that over the MSI, no question. If you want performance, Biostar isn't it.

 

[Jet]

Okay, I agree with you on that point. My point, however, is that they are great budget boards, since the Tforce series have much more overclocking options that normal budget boards

Budget board or not, if it includes everything you want in a motherboard, dont worry about the brand.

It's like trying to decide whether to buy a Toyota or a Lexus.

Yes, but that's a crap motherboard.

Never, ever take th Piss out of the Biostar T-Force 6100.....

by far the best mATX 939 board around... and yes, it'll take any PCI-E X16 GPU
