FM-1?

Huh, an odd time to come out with an FM-1 motherboard.

Biostar prolly didn't get the memo yet that Trinity is finally out. Its ok Biostar, AMD is a little slow with these things too.

Well, it is cheap, and it makes a lot of sense. If this was FM2 it would be a real winner.

for low end board it looks not bad

Why FM1?

That's actually not bad for the low end market (I mean counting pennies/cents low end), would be perfect with Non-For-Profit organisations also IMO. Choice of FM1 socket makes sense for this market segment also as the FM1 socket AMD APUs will get cheaper as FM2 launches.

Why FM1?

AMD still has a ton of them wait a bit they will be getting dirt cheap I hope.

The funny thing is that our company have been buying these exact boards from Biostar for nearly an year already!!!
