Hey all!

I'm planning to buy a new desktop and I have a dilemma with the motherboard.

The processor I'm buying is a Phenom II X4 925, 4Gb DDR3 1333Mhz.

I'm between this 3 motherboards:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1874
http://www.asus.com/Product.aspx?P_ID=cf8IZzbU4m6GHKnW
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=&prod_no=1739

I guess that the three of them supports a DVI output of 1920x1080, that's what i need.

What do you recommend me in terms of:
- Easy installation of the video card(I don't know if ATI's integrated card works from scratch in Ubuntu)
- Performance in general
- Performance in virtualization.

Thanks in advance!
