The MSI K9AG Neo2 Digital motherboard performs on par with nVIDIA's GeForce 7050PV and AMD's 690G based motherboards. When a GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB videocard is installed performance jumps up greatly. The AMD 690G integrated videocard runs better than the integrated Intel GMA X3000 videocard in the G33 chipset, 290 to 241.
