Anyone know if this is available in southern California?
Fry's has been advertising the AMD X2 BE-2300 with ECS Geforce6100SM-M motherboard for $88.99 in the last couple of months. With this combo, you get a better Asus motherboard for $20 more. At first glance, the Asus board has 2 more DIMM slots, 2 more SATA ports, a true PCI-E x16 slot (the ECS has an x16 slot that runs at x8), and integrated graphics with dual output (DVI/VGA).
The ECS has a more energy efficient chipset (single chip solution for northbridge, southbridge, graphics) and supposedly better integrated graphics (GF7-derived Geforce 6100). The Asus appears to have the edge everywhere else. Integrated dual output DVI/VGA is especially nice at this price point.
