Mora 845GL-MUT 

The MicroATX form factor Mora 845GL-MUT (Intel 845GL chipset) motherboard we received sported on-board VGA, on-board AC97 sound, 533 MHz FSB speed and 6 USB 2.0 ports. We tested it on a Pentium 2.2 GHz, 256 MB DDR 266 RAM, a 7200 RPM hard-disk and Win XP Professional. 

We compared the test results with competitively priced motherboards (Via 266 at Rs 2675 with support for DDR 266 RAM and the Jetway P4MFM at Rs 3,500) on the same setup and found that the Mora 533 MHz motherboard performed better than these in all the benchmarks. The frame rates on Quake III, at low resolution were far higher than the others. Considering that the board does not have an AGP slot, Quake III results are impressive enough.

You can go for this board for running regular productivity applications and some gaming. A good entry-level buy for sure.
