Pros
- Integrated ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics is DirectX 10 compatible and one of the most powerful onboard graphics - perfect for light gaming and 2D/3D rendering without the cost/heat/power usage of a dedicated card
- inexpensive for such a full featured board
- Multiple display connectors: DVI-D, VGA and HDMI (with audio).
- BIOS update adds support for Phenom II CPUs
- Up to 16 GB RAM supported (4x 4GB modules)
- The integrated graphics solution is powerful enough for driving a 1920x1200 flat panel and has hardware decoding support for both H.264 and VC-1 HD video formats.
Cons
- DVI-D and HDMI outputs cannot be used simultaneously (either DVI-D or HDMI can be used simultaneously with VGA though)
- Integrated Radeon HD3200 graphics uses system RAM (by default 256MB) instead of having its own dedicated memory. There is a similar model, GA-MA790GP-DS4H, with Radeon HD3300 graphics and built-in 128MB DDR3 1333MHz SidePort memory, but it is much more expensive.
