Gigabyte MA785GM-US2 mATX AMD motherboard unboxing and review HD 720p

[CBALL2212]

Do you know if this mobo can work with an Amd 64 Athlon X2? I just ordered the board, but it is not clear if my old cpu will work right. What kind of setup are running?

i'm hoping to get this with the barebones kit it comes with on tigerdirect. it will be my first build, and i am kinda hyped about it

i noticed it used to come qith a gigabyte motherboard but is now a biostar... how good is the biostar?

[cal22583]

@phatmonk6195 they're ok...I've had a few and they are very stable. not the best for overclocking though. thanks for posting!

I just got the AMD Athlon X4 630 Processor from there and I got a Biostar A760G M2+Socket AM2/AM2+ 760G mATX Motherboard for free, still waiting on my case and RAM to get here from TigerDirect though :( have you ever had a BioStar Mobo before?

[cal22583]

@BKajun06 yeah, i had a biostar on my old media center. i didnt really like the bios all that much but it was a good stable motherboard. thanks for posting.

@cal22583 np

[phatmonk6195]

@BKajun06 I'm getting the same deal! should i get the phenom ii X2 BE or the Athlon ii X4 630 for gaming?

[BKajun06]

@phatmonk6195 the BE is actually better for gaming, but i got the quadcore bc ive always wanted a quad haha.

[cal22583]

@phatmonk6195 if you have the extra money to spend go with the BE if not then just get the athlon quad and oc it. ether way you will have a nice gaming rig.
