GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Comparison Sheet

otherwise squally matched ( except for the 8200 board having a "dual bios" thingy) better sound and better video. what more do you need

thanks, hows this board peformance, and is it worth buying

This is one of the best 780G boards available. You can't go wrong with this or the ATX version - DS3H.

i am planning to add graphics card to GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H

can anyone suggest a good one?

Ati HD 3450. Hybrid Crossfire and you get 1.7x the performance :devil2:

+1 for gigabyte 780G . Just bought one 2 days ago from lamington for a friend , he is very happy with the board

. I was actually considering asus's 780 G and biostar ta-780G along with it . I was not able to find biostar one and many reviews suggested that gigabyte one is more overclock friendly compared to asus .

+1 for 780G.

Go for it bro...

Wouldn't an Intel configuration within Rs. 10k surpass the AMD one?

greenhorn · Jun 27, 2008

hey wait, why do you want to add a Graphics card to the 780G :S , rather get a cheapo board and spend your money on the card

rapt0r · Jun 27, 2008

^^ 780G boards support hybrid crossfire so onboard graphics wont be wasted if he adds ATI card .

+1 for 780g
