it makes more sense to go for an nvidia 6100 onboard gfx mobo than egtting a seperate via board+ 6200 card.
M2nMX SE: 2.6k
but
Via chipset mobo: 2k + 6200 card 1.8k = 3.8k
but the performance remains somewhat same if not into gaming.

Dun go for via board if not getting a card too, coz nvidia has excellent linux driver support nd its better to use ny nvidia display adapter, be its onboard or an add on card.
