What is the overall performance and gaming performance of the
ASUS A8N VM motherboard?Can I play games like GTA San Andreas on it?
How can I enable dual channel mode on this motherboard?
Gaming performance would be lower than that of a Geforce 6200.
Yes, GTA San Andreas will work on it.
Dual channel is enabled by default when you use 2 or 4 RAM chips of the same speed and capacity.
Go for CSM as it performs a lil better (as the core is clocked 50MHz more) nd also support HDTV output. So its more future proof. Not much diff in price. Only bout 300~400.
The Asus A8n-vm has a graphics subsystem of G-Force 6150 Northbridge chipset and NVIDIA nForce 430 as the southbridge chipset, hence GTA San Andreas would work fine provided there is atleast 256 MB of memory.
shovik Asus A8N-VM & Asus A8N-VM CSM are different boards. What you have mentioned is for the CSM, and i think the price must be higher than Rs 3,500 for the CSM.
can anyone plz post the actual price of a8n-vm csm in kolkata and a place where i can get it in kolkata.will the msi board be better for the same chipset.
If you have a good system for the other components then GTA may work if it is supported but it will still play crap, to paly it acceptably you need to invest in a graphic card.
If you have any A64 with 1gb ram or more you may be able to play, but crappily
