Good Integrated Motherboard?

[alphageek]

I’m looking for an all in one motherboard. Right now the MSI PLE 133 (MS-6368) and Biostar M6VLQ. They are both VIA PLE133 Socket 370 solutions and about $60. I’m really just looking for stability and not a whole lot of speed or overclocking options. Are either of these boards decent? And if so which one is the best?

Here are some links:
MSI (http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/PLE133_LAN.htm)
Biostar (http://www.biostar-usa.com/New_Products/Motherboard/s370/m6vlq/m6vlq.htm)

i have had some expirence with the msi 6368 and it is very stable.
this one would be my choice.

Yeah I thought the MSI board would be good. However, the Biostar board has Tualatin support. I don't think that I'm going need it but it's nice. Also, that board is cheeper. I've never thought much about Biostar, so what do you think. Otherwise I'll just go with MSI.

There really arn't any good review sites with reviews of these low end boards. I can't believe I'm looking at them myself.

my personal choice would be the msi.

Don't sell short the Elite K7SEM. It's a fully integrated board with great video, very stable, and very cheap (about $55 or so at
newegg.com). Only two drawbacks is that it only takes PC133
SDRAM and only has two expansion PCI slots. Other than that it is the best and most stable board I have had since fooling around with all these new DDR mobos that crash in an eyeblink.
About to install Soltek DRV266 which is alleged to be the king of overclockers, after returning two Shuttle AK31 266 boards and one MSI 6380 board and one K7SA5 board. And I wish I had never let go of the K7SEM.
