ASRock (
http://www.asrock.com/), which is best known for its budget motherboards, has put together a decent integrated HTPC motherboard called the ALiveNF7G-HDready. With onboard video care of a Geforce 7-series videocard and nVIDIA's PureVideo acceleration technology, this compact MicroATX mobo is the basis for a very versatile little rig. Based around nVIDIA's single GeForce 7050PV / nForce 630A chipset, the ASrock ALiveNF7G-HDready supports Socket AM2 AMD Sempron, Athlon64 X2 and FX processors. Standard features include two IEEE 1394a jacks, Gigabit networking, 7.1 channel High Definition Azalia audio and an integrated GeForce 7050 videocard. That integrated graphics component supports dual monitors by the way.
