Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2 Motherboard Review

[RobRich]

Quote:

ATI has released a fairly new chipset which brings a new technology called Hybrid Crossfire to the table. This enables the Integrated Graphics from the motherboard to be paired with a discrete graphics card to increase the performance without an increase in expense. This chipset is the 780G, which is designed for AM2 and AM2+ processors, and one of these new motherboards is the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-SH2. The Gigabyte 780G board offers the new technology paired with older proven technology to bring you the ultimate platform for your new components to push the envelope of performance.

Not a good gaming review...yes, I'm behind. I was shopping today, trying to remember the model of this board. I need a cheap versitile CPU/mobo combo...but I was hoping to overclock the crap out of it with my mega fan sitting on the shelf, but it would appear this may not be the board for that. Then again, I always find it fun to accomplish something more where someone else "failed".

EDIT

Yeah, I'm going with this anyway. I'm not looking to install a really nice GPU anyway. I have a crappy PCIE I can install to see how much of a boost a $10 AMIR card can give me.
