CPU/Mobo Whats the difference between Gigabyte MA785GMT-US2H & MA785GMT-UD2H

EnigmatriX · Dec 5, 2009

I read through their specification but am unable to see any significant diff in the two mobos. Any idea?

Here is the comparison from gigabyte's website

Well thats nearly 1k more.
So is it ok for me to buy this, since the UD2H seems to be unavailable.

785GMT-UD2H supports DDR3 RAM IIRC, and the other one is DDR2. If I were you, I'd pick the DDR3 option, merely for future proofing.

That would be the MA78GM-US2H the one without the "T" thats DDR2 one. The one I'm talking about is MA785GMT-US2H. check out the link

Ah yes, the GMT US2H looks to be as good. Not a problem if you get it.

This is what D stands for in Gigabyte...

Realtek ALC 889A with Dolby Home Theater

Then probably S stands for speakers only edition :ashamed:

Crazy_Eddy · Dec 6, 2009

The D stands for Durability.

The D board uses solid caps completely - which makes it more durable. The S board uses solid caps only for the CPU VRM circuitry.. everything else are electrolytic caps.

Lolz... Lynx site uses UD2H picture for US2H listing so got confused.. Thanx to Eddy I know now.

So its Durability & Support of Dolby Home Theater..

By the way whats the current price of GA-MA785GM-US2H

Last I heard, it was 5.5k.
