ASUS M2NPV-VM Motherboard Review

The ASUS M2NPV-VM [NVIDIA Geforce 6150, nForce 430] motherboard is an interesting board in many respects. The board is targeted towards the digital consumer with features like HDTV Out and the standard features of ASUS motherboards, making this board an excellent choice for the Home Theater enthusiast. High Definition H.264 content is here to stay, and the integrated video of the 6150 is the only solution on the market today to fully support the format in hardware via PureVideo.

The release of Microsoft Vista to the public means that there will be a new Aero Glass GUI to get the full “Vista” Experience. The main requirements for Aero Glass include Pixel Shader 2.0 support on the video chipset or higher. The GeForce 6150 fits the requirements for Aero Glass and NVIDIA has released drivers for Vista supporting this chipset and the new GUI.
