M3A have an AMD 770 / SB600 chipset.
I believe Mike Audet's new drivers are "eating" nearly every chipset-things
nowadays. I have used plenty of different motherboards(20-30) with different
chipsets and graphiccards, with 2 different singlecard Paris-system, the
last ten years and for the most it was just to find new Disk i/o sizes and
disk cache size allocations to get them to work well. Can't remember any
motherboard that didn't worked with Paris. Maybe I have been lucky or is
beieng too old to remember well enough;-)
The new quad machine here have NVIDIA GeForce 8300 chipset and the one
you're looking for seems to have GeForce 8200. There can't be so much
different on these 2 chipsets in quality. Both have build in GPU, so I
believe it's a better idea to use a graphic card and not to use the build in
GPU in the motherboard when used for recordings, if you're buying it.
