Advantages: HDTV output, supports AMDs Cool 'n' Quiet Disadvantages: Only one lan
The ASUS M2NPV-VM Motherboard for AMD single-core Athlon 64/ Sempron and Dual-core Athlon 64 X2/ Athlon FX processors using socket AM2 is very user friendly, I went with AMDs 64 x2 3800+ processor in the beginning then moved up to 4200+ 2Gb Ram without any hassle, very easy to setup and fits easily in a standard ATX case. A possible downside to the board is that it has a limited number of slots due to being a microATX sized board. That's not a big deal for me as the only two cards I'll be buying in the future is Graphics and a extra Lan card.

>In the upper right hand corner of the motherboard are the ATX 24 pin power connector, Floppy disk connector, Game/Midi port connector and four DDR2 slots. These DDR2 slots support a maximum memory capacity of 8GB and the frequencies supported is DDR2-800MHz/667 ...
I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone as it is very poor quality product and a waste of money because I can't play any decent new games that I bought in 2008.
They include Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Race Driver GRID, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Beijing 2008 PC Game, Tomb Raider: Underworld and Shaun White Snowboarding and six EA Sports games that can't be played at the moment.
Eventually I will change the motherboard to a new one in due course in a couple of weeks time.
My Technician Chris Simmons at AB & T Systems in Canberra Australia didn't do the installation of the motherboard properly and it failed after 25 months of hard use.
I will finish GIGABYTE products for good.
I am very disappointed with the product in the first place. ...
Advantages: cheapest i could find with UK online retailer Disadvantages: open box item
REVIEW FOR ASUS M4A78 PRO purchased from LUCMOS.CO.UK
PROS: Built in video (VGA, HDMI, DVI), fiber optic out, RAID 0,1,5,10, JBOD; capable of locating and flashing bios under windows; 6 SATA slots, potential of 12 USB; 3 PCI slots handy to recycle various cards from old computer (ie old TV card)
CONS: Bios only partially recognizes my Microsoft wireless photo keyboard set (mouse, not keyboard); Utilizing the optical out blocks one USB out (TOO CLOSE TOGETHER), No Firewire inputs on board (yet STILL with COM1 and floppy inputs?!)
Other Thoughts: This was an open box item for 65 quid all in which Lucmpos indicates will not ship with the full complement of stuff, but I was expecting the I/O backing to at least cover up the back of my tower for this system of outputs...Alas, no. This baby shipped with just the board and non else ...
