What about the M3A78 if you don't want onboard video. I am
considering it for a system I am building. It is an ATX board so
perhaps not what you want.
Does anyone have experience with this board? I would use it with a
silent asus 8400 video board. I need a parallel port so that
eliminates many options. I do like the 6 SATA ports and 6 USB ports
though.
