Difference btwn A7N8X's VM and ED

[Piotr Makley]

I am not a gamer not overclocker so I just want a reliable and
dependable board.

What are the main differences between the A7N8X-VM and A7N8X-ED?

The Asus website is bursting with so much marketing-talk that I can't
make any realistic comparison.

I would like a board with integrated graphics and audio which the VM
supports.

However I don't want a board so stripped down to basics that I later
wish I had got something else.

Can someone help me compare the two?
