Since AMD's new chipset of 780G hitting marketing
the onboard VGA is getting stronger ,the 780G is combined with
AMD HD 3200 GPU (code name:RS780) and SB700
and the HTPC is getting more popular, the GA M78GM S2H
consider it should be the best HTPC solution.
with Micro ATX form,VGA output supported HDMI,DVI,and D-SUB
for sound has digital 7.1 from Realtek(ALC889A)
for more detail,check his brother,standard ATX,
GA M78GM S2H
looks very similar to S3H,S2H is M-ATX,same 4phase PWM for CPU,ieee1394,sata*6
one pcie 16x slot for hybrid crossfirex upgarded.difference with S3H, on the I/O has one e-sata.
for HTPC or small form factor, u can easily hot- plug extended sata device.
S2H, here ,i don't need to mention more details, since it hitting the taiwan marketing,
if u are looking for this item,most of stores are already out of stock
i can say its a nice way to pull AMD,lock on htpc or combo motherboard,780G within HD 3200
should be unbeatable recently.
testbed,
CPU, AMD phenom 9650 B3 step
MOBO,Gigaybte M78GM S2H
MEM,ADATA DDR2-800
HD,hitachi IDE 400GB
OS,windows vista x64
for all default settings, 3dmark06 scores 1522 points
my first time with phenom,after few hours testing,
with default vcore, can easily pull clock to 2.65Ghz
i think thats the FSB hole limited the CPU,
and with onboard HD3200, can oc to 1050mhz with tiny stock HSF,
3DMARK06, 2164 , onboard vga 1050mhz
compare to his borther , s3h, with same one phenom but has better fsb
phenom oc to 2.85ghz,but i believe its not cpu limited,we need specail recipe
to cure FSB,or HT limited for phenom
