    Reviews of MBs with SATA III / USB 3

    That's not correct. - GIGABYTE 770TA, 790FXTA, 790XTA, X58A; ASUS P6X58D Premium: Each of NEC D720200F1 and Marvell 88SE9128 [GIGABYTE]/9123 [ASUS] chips uses a PCIe 2.0 5.0GTps x1 lane (in AMD 770, 790FX, 790X, Intel X58 chipset respectively). - GIGABYTE P55A (all models); ASUS P7P55D-E...

    The *Official* MSI K8NGM2-FID GeForce 6150 Motherboard Thread

    Currently GeForce 9300/9400 is the best IGP. For example, - GIGABYTE GA-E7AUM-DS2H or MSI P7NGM-Digital (lacks S/PDIF and eSATA ports in the rear panel) - Core 2 Duo E7400 or Pentium Dual-Core E5200 - DDR2-800 2 x 2GB 9300/9400 also supports 8 ch LPCM audio over HDMI, good for HTPC...

    Mine died too recently. One of the capacitors blew. I haven't tried replacing it. I have a spare K8NGM2-FID board and I am using it now.

    Nvidia chipset for AM3: 980a

    SLI Version: MCP82 = nForce 980a SLI Expreview - NVIDIA never leaves mobo business, preparing MCP82 (October 16th, 2008) So the official name of MCP82 is nForce 980a SLI. MCP72 is nForce 780a SLI. IGP Version: MCP85 Expreview - NVIDIA prepping MCP85, mainstream board for AM3 CPU...

    GeForce 8200 chipset: Install both NVidia HD audio driver and NVidia HDMI driver?

    If you can't see "NVIDIA HDMI or HD Output" something in Sound dialog box, you can't select it as the playback device and you will never here HDMI audio. What about Device Manager? Do you see "NVIDIA High Definition Audio"? Check BIOS setup too. Advanced > Southbridge chipset Configuration >...

    GeForce 8200 chipset: Install both NVidia HD audio driver and NVidia HDMI driver?

    Launch the Sound dialog box from the control panel. Is NVIDIA HDMI Output correctly plugged-in? Is NVIDIA HDMI Output selected as the playback device? Test the device. Can you hear sound? Some TVs don't support DD/DTS. You may hear PCM sounds (usual Windows sounds), but you may not be able to...

    GeForce 8200 chipset: Install both NVidia HD audio driver and NVidia HDMI driver?

    Just install the latest 15.24 nForce 780a/750a/730a/710a/GeForce 8 chipset driver (uninstall older drivers first of course). This includes the latest HDMI Audio driver 1.00.00.33 (unzip it, go to the directory HD Audio and read nvhda.inf). The driver also includes a display driver, but it's an...

    Not sure if my mobo has SPDIF out...

    A drill (make a hole for RCA terminal in the slot cover), a screwdriver (attach the RCA terminal), a long nose pliers and a utility knife are enough. (If you have a tool kit, it's even better.) The only difficult part is peeling insulation off the end of the wire (use the knife; easier if you...

    780g or 790gx for HTPC?

    Multichannel LPCM is necessary for HD contents (Blu-ray) and you will need a recevier supporting HDMI. For DTS/DD, HDMI from 780G/790GX is enough. Good SD post-processing is necessary for better picture quality from the standard DVD (780G/790GX is a bit poor in this respect). This may not be...

    What you need are: - FRONTX RCA VIDEO / SPDIF - PANEL F TO 1X3 F; 18" is perhaps enough - a PCI slot cover (remove one from your case) - a coaxial digital audio cable; 1 foot is enough. - KHS-02 nylon housing - KHS-PIN/F2.00 female pin for KHS Housing First remove the 1x3 header...

    780g or 790gx for HTPC?

    780G is enough for 1080p contents. 790GX+SidePort memory is good to improve 3D performance slightly, but otherwise uselss. If you want good SD post-processing, add HD 4550.

    Intel boards that support DD live/DTS connect on board?

    I thought of overclocking. These Intel mbs lack any kind of overclocking options and even memory voltage adjustment (Intel changed the policy of no mem voltage adjustment with DG45ID?). If you are not interested in OC, they are fine as a gaming mb.

    780G or 790GX

    You'd better choose a 790GX mb with SidePort memory.

    780G or 790GX

    Both are basically identical in video playback. The only difference between HD 3200 and HD 3300 is core clock 500MHz vs 700MHz which helps little for video playback. However SidePort memory is definitely plus for deinterlacing 1080i contents.

    Intel boards that support DD live/DTS connect on board?

    There is no sub-$100 ATX mb that supports DDL or DTSI. The cheapest ATX mb is GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P (DDL). As for mATX, - Intel DG33TL (DDL) - Intel DG45ID (DDL) - GIGABYTE GA-EG45M-DS2H (DDL), none of which is good for a gaming machine.

    For a budget basic computer/HTPC would you go with...

    I bet your problem will be fixed by using a Phenom. GeForce 8200/8300 with Athlon is also prone to problems in video playback, but perfectly smooth with a Phenom.

    For a budget basic computer/HTPC would you go with...

    The answer depends on what kind of media contents you play, BD, 720p/1080p mkv, HDTV or SD contents only, with 7.1 LPCM or just S/PDIF (or analog). The difference between Radeon HD 3200 and Radeon 2100 (no HD) is that HD 3200 has UVD (Universal Video Decoder) and supports hardware decode...

    MATX mobo recommendation for an HTPC build

    P5B? P5E? LIAN LI PC-C37B accepts only mATX. Look for a mATX mb of chipset G31, G33, G35, G43, G45. - GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L - ASRock G43Twins-FullHD 4550 has a built-in HD audio controller so that you don't need any other sound device in PC.

    ASUS M3A78-EM or GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H

    AVIVO is not a single function but the name of a group of post-processing functions done by the stream processors and the driver (there is no fixed unit for them unlike UVD2). You will see various options under "AVIVO Video" in CCC.

    ASUS M3A78-EM or GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H

    If you mean HQV Benchmarks, then yes (I did the test myself). Both Athlon+HD4670 and Phenom+HD4670 gave perfect scores. - HQV: 130/130 - HD HQV: 100/100 Post-processing is done within the graphics card (stream processors, memory controller and video memory), hence CPU (more precisely HT...

    Intel motherboard with DVI + integrated HDMI (and audio over HDMI)

    Intel G43/G45 chipset support DVI+HDMI+VGA (and multichannel LPCM over HDMI, unlike stereo LPCM in 780G/790GX). - ASUS P5QL-EM, P5Q-EM - GIGABYTE -GA-EG43GM-S2H, GIGABYTE -GA-EG45GM-S2H - Intel DG45ID, DG45FC

    DDR2 Going Obsolete with Core i7?

    The mainstream Nehalem (Lynnfield and Havendale) was delayed until Q4 2009 and Q1 2010 respectively. AM3 was also delayed until Q2 2009. (See 2009 Mainstream Hehalem Schedule Update and AMD CPU core roadmap.) So we will see DDR2 around for a while.

    nForce 590 for Intel Dilemma

    Not worth running. NB C19 was released in April 2005 and supports only up to FSB1066. SB MCP55P is also dated (since May 2006, but still used in nForce 780i/790i). You can buy a latest P45 mb in the same price range (e.g. GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3R $105, ASUS P5Q PRO $115).

    ASUS M3A78-EM or GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H

    780G+Phenom is an old topic that has been frequently discussed in the AVS Forum thread since March (Bingo13 = Gary Key). Basically 780G+HT3.0 is much better than 780G+HT2.0. Even 780G+Griffin (mobile K8+HT3.0) gives a similar result, let alone the dual core Phenom. GeForce 8200/8300+Phenom is...

    Intel chipset: G31 Vs. G33/43

    FYI - G43 supports only two DIMMs (or four ranks/four sides). - G43 does not support full hardware decode acceleration of MPEG2, VC1, and AVC.

    ASUS M3A78-EM or GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H

    780G+Athlon is good enough for progressive contents (the majority of BD movies are progressive), but a bit weak for interlaced contents (deinterlacing requires lots of power). 780G+Phenom is very strong in this point because of HT 3.0.

    ASUS M3A78-EM or GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H

    Then Hybrid CrossFire is useless. Only the GPU the display is connected to is used for video playback. I recommend: - Phenom X3 8450 - ASUS M3A78-EM for perfect HD/SD video playback.

    GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3L is one of the best budget boards imo.
