What are some semi expensive mobos for an e6300 that has onboard video.

Why buy a Core 2 for use on a board with onboard video? Onboard video is very limited for basic email checking, word processing type applications. If you plan to run games, multimedia, or anything else with a large demand on graphics support you will caught in a bind.

The board type most often seen with onboard video are micro atx boards like this Asus model seen at http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2366119&Tab=2&NoMapp=0 This is one of 20 models Core 2 ready seen at http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=2438&

The other place to look through Socket 775 model boards is seen at http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php?PageTag=&page=cat&memx_menu=214&SID= Here you have to go through each model for each brand and look over specifications as well as the price.

If you want to overclock, don't get a motherboard with integrated video. For instance, a member here bought a Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 (which has integrated graphics), thinking that it would have the overclocking ability of a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3. Instead of being able to overclock to above 3Ghz like the 965P version can, he was limited to a 2.66Ghz overclock.

For a good range of cards to choose from newer then the 6200 LE or X300 take a look at the makes and models seen at http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php?PageTag=&page=cat&memx_menu=193&SID=

Getting a 6300 and using on board video is kind of self defeating.
