Taking a look at the AMD 690G chipset motherboard, there are so many different variations... A lot of people are pickled about which one to choose... so which one is the best???

Stick with MSI or Asus.

MSI's HDMI is on the motherboard pcb, and the ASUS is on a PCIe card.

Or you can go the Intel route with the ABit one.

As long as the OS supports it.

Or you could but 2x4GB sticks. Crucial sells them.
