Man I wish the would combine the features of these tow boards. If I had to take one it would be the VM. Mainly because the nforce 2 chip is made to run a AMD XP cpu. If I was running any other CPU I would take the d cause of the LAN, and USB 2 and the serial ATA On the VM it doesn't say what size memory the GF 4 video uses. It will do until you can upgrade to a FX.
