The Biostar M7NCG PRO motherboard is the big brother of the Biostar M7NCG MicroATX mainboard, which I recently reviewed. The M7NCG PRO is a full-sized, solidly-constructed mainboard, which utilizes NVIDIA's popular nForce2 chipset. It's a complete solution with all the peripherals needed for a basic computer system integrated into the motherboard and includes numerous overclocking settings as well as a bunch of other features, including dual video ports.
I like this motherboard, and it can certainly form the core of an excellent, high-end gaming system (with the addition of a good video card, fast CPU, and some good RAM). The built-in video is fine for regular gaming, browsing, business, and general, everyday use. The video output is clear and reasonably crisp, although it’s not quite as good as the visual quality of my MSI FX5600. It’s too bad that one of the video ports is not a DVI (digital flat panel) connector. That would solve the slight blurriness issue at 1280x1024 resolution and above (at least if you happen to have an LCD screen).
