Asus M3A78-CM Motherboard

[FieryLoki]

It looks like my M3A78-EMH HDMI.

I find it funny that i threw a V8 cooler on mine... xD

[easypickle]

This mother board can be used for gaming, this is my system:

Antec Nine Hundred Two case

680W power

ASUS M3A78-CM mobo

AMD 64 X2 5400+ @ 3.08Ghz

AC 64 Pro cpu cooler

Radeon HD 4830

optical, hard drive, etc...

Yes, this board is compact, that is why this guy assumes it is for a media center, but it can be used for gaming: ran crysis at ultra settings with 10 fps; running dawn of war II on ultra settings with no problems.

cpu cooler overlaps ram, and video card overlaps 1 pci slot...

You can save a lot of money in buying an AMD cpu. They're basically the same when it comes to performance.

[killstreak416]

yes this Asus MOBO is great! perfect match for my AMD phenom 2.3ghz quad core processor..fantastic MOBO with a lower price

[jormox69]

To all pc buyer I always recommend ASUS motherboards. They will last longer compared to other motherboards. Their quality is number 1. If you're a hardcore core gamer.This is definitly the best for you.

[jormox69]

I have been using amd for the last 8 years. The athlon XP processor was the best during that time. More faster than P4 intel. But when intel core 2 duo hit the market, intel now leads the CPu race.But if your just a home user and a budget buyer. Then go for amd base cpu. If you are a heavy multimedia user, adobe photoshop and corel draw. Then go for intel core 2 duo.

[jormox69]

presently intel will give the best options. BUT there's a big difference beteween the price of intel and amd. If you're only a diehard gaming user. well I recommend the AMD. The obvious reason its price is cheaper, you save your money.Then buy a high end video card or a midrange card will do like 9800gt or 96oogt.

[jormox69]

presently i have a 2pc's. intel and amd processor. i build these 2 cpu's for the sake of comparison who got the best performance. first intel core 2 duo. well i could say that you can do multitasking much better than the athlon dual core. you can play 2 online games running at the same time while watching a yuotube video. AMD cpu's they're also good in gaming but when it comes to multitasking intel was the better procesor.

I have an Intel Core 2 Quad processor and it has 2.4 GHz, L2 cache, 6 GB memory, and 1066 MHz FSB. Mine is powerful. AMD processors burn out a lot. Intel processors last longer.

[purpledinosaurus]

[x0220]

[300ZXturboXX]

whats a good CPU cooling can be used for AM+2 sockets that will fit in this board.

[changhock]

wow! can i use it as a gaming rig? i mean gaming pc. building up with nvida geforce 9800gx extreme , 4gb of ram , intel core i7 plus this this baby.....

[trkka]

this board won't work with Intel.

It's an AMD motherboard. So, no... it won't work with your setup.

[gtaman7]

DisplayPort is just HDMI but it can go to 2560x1600 as opposed to HDMI going to 1920x1080.
