I guess you would be happy about the board being even more expensive to make up for the extra cost of the gfx chip? Graphics cards cost nothing these days and this board takes any pci express card with driver support. What kind of games do we have that would even take use of a high end graphics card?
Haven't you really made his case for him here? If they are that cheap, why add extra expense to what will due to the economies of scale already be very pricey board? By having a simpler design the cost of the board would go down, given the lack of a need for the latest and greatest gfx card, even a bargain bin card would be more then adequate and likely add nothing to the overall cost whilst providing a much better experience out of the box.
I bet you would drool over this board if OS 4.1 was replaced with MorphOS instead...
2003 just called, they want their red/blue war back.
