Biostar Rolls-Out First AMD 760G Motherboards

[btarunr]

Following the launch of AMD's newest value northbridge, the AMD 760G, and the SB710 southbridge, Biostar prepared its first offerings based on the 760G + SB710 chipset: the TA760G M2+ and A760G M2+. Both motherboards are built in the Micro-ATX form factor, measuring 24.4cm X 20cm. Both models are essentially the same, except for the TA760G M2+ featuring four DDR2 DIMM slots, instead of two on the A760G M2+.

The motherboards feature AM2+ sockets, supporting Athlon, and Phenom series processors with TDP ratings of up to 95W. For the Phenom and Athlon X2 7000 series chips, the DDR2-1066 memory standard is supported. Featuring the new SB710 southbridge, up to six SATA II drives are supported. The rest of the feature set takes care of the essentials, with the onboard ATI Radeon HD 3200-class IGP running at 350 MHz, supporting Hybrid CrossFire, with dual-head outputs that include a DVI connector. A gigabit LAN and six-channel audio makes for the rest of it. Prelimnary reviews of the AMD 760G show it to outclass the Intel G41 chipset (priced in the same range) both in IGP performance and video acceleration. These motherboards will be priced well under US $100 to cater to its segment.

I wish they would but they would so cost an arm and a leg for one though.

Good for my new upgrade, still wont to wait for major players (Gigabyte, MSI, Asus) to come in. Thanx for the update "btarunr", CHEERS!

It's odd that this is launching so much later than it's counterparts... the 790 and 770 chipsets have been around for ages now and this is odd coming alongside the AM3 debut (albeit a bit earlier).

It's an "update" to the AMD 740G which has been around for a while. 760G replaces it.
