Agreed: "NOTE: You cannot use the 6400+ Dual Core on this motherboard. Most test showed it blew the mother board in a few minutes. This mother board cannot accommodate 125W CPUs. The 85 Watt CPU I got (a 6000+) works fine."

New pro/con: Has a legacy Serial Port for dealing with older telecoms devices and routers. No USB to Serial cable required.

"OK, unfortunately the ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI did not suite my gaming needs for one, it will not take the 125Watt Phenoms or Athlon X2 such as the 9700, 9850 phenoms and the AMD 6400+. It will take the 6000+ and lower. The situation is bad in that an invalid combination will cause the board to blow up so do not make more

"This is one of the first low cost AMD chipset motherboards that allows for high performance graphics on board. Other pointers... 1. The RAM speed can be as high as 1066 MHz. 2. This is an Micro-ATX form factor. 3. AM2+ means Phenom quad core processors can be used. 4. Not as hot - low power more

Thanks for the in-depth reply. Good to know about the CPU/board combinations that will cause the magic smoke :)

It won't be used as a gaming board, but for programming/office stuff/web browsing. I think that this board is still a candidate for my needs based on what you've said. I am considering an Intel-based setup....

I'm looking at buying a few new mobos for the office and I saw that you did a good job adding the ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI. I'm looking at the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H. Any preference?
