Wow...it's been a while for the Mediaman. Christmas, work 24/7/365 and trying to move a house (still boxing up...groan)...I'm sure I accidentally boxed up my PC for a couple of weeks. 
Gigabyte introduces a value motherboard centered around ATI's Radeon 9100 IGP. The Gigabyte GA-8TRS300M utilizes the Radeon 9100 Integrated Graphics Processor to deliver a competitor to take on competitive budget systems with INTEL integrated graphics or systems with low end AGP video cards. The engineers at Gigabyte have chosen not to include TV-out or 1394 with the GA-8TRS300M which may allow for a more aggressive pricing strategy against the handful of other manufacturers who are also producing motherboards based on the ATI 9100 IGP.
Give it a read.

Could you test that board with a 9700/9800? Not a review, but a few results would be nice. I'm in the market for a mATX barebone style and the 2.4/2.6C has really reached a good pricepoint. The AMD options isn't that stable for a Barebone yet IMO.
By Feb 5th. the Canadian division of SM should be relocated and all set up in the new "offices". Space to expand, take apart, discombooberate, etc.
Now about your mATX board. I haven't experienced any problems with the 9700 or 9800 pro on the mATX AMD boards that I've used. But when I get the chance I'll throw the 9700 on this board and see if it goes into convulsions or not.
