Got M2n68-am Plus and Athlon X2 250 for 5950Rs. Might be on the costly side but I was in a hurry and didnt check with competition.

Can't say about costs but the motherboard model is precisely the same which was discouraged in the last few posts...

Anku@ the difference beteween both these mobo's is the chipset right. Is there anything else.

Chipset
North Bridge: AMD 780G
South Bridge: AMD SB700

Chipset
North Bridge : AMD 785G
South Bridge : AMD SB710

Thanks,

Chipset is the only difference b/w motherboards, other than some like front connectors, no. of PCI/PCI-E slots, quality of capacitors, no. of SATA ports and other features..

Thanks a lot anku, but I think everything ends there. I called each and every vendor here in trivandrum (Kerala), no one here stocks gigabyte, only asus. They have M2n68 in plenty. I am thinking of outsource gigabyte from other city. Lets see if I can find one. I wanted to buy one this afternoon, but no luck.

ImmortalZ · 17th April 2010, 14:03

You're not looking at the right shops. I got every bit of my build from Trivandrum and the shop could get me just about any brand under the sun, from budget to range toppers.

anku94 · 17th April 2010, 16:35

If nothing else works, why don't you buy it online ?

Ok, but I tried Indicom, Logtech, Pazhoor. They dont have Gigabyte, only asus and MSI. Can you PM me the shop where you got your goodies. Thanks in advance.

If nothing else works out, I will have to try online, but wont they have problems with replacement and guaranty.

anku94 · 17th April 2010, 23:17

That's one disadvantage of online shops over local shops. But warranty is provided by the company and not the dealer, so you can do without 'em...

Chipz · 19th April 2010, 12:31

I just called the computer dealer. they say they have asus m4a78lt-m le available. Is it a good choice. The chipset is

AMD 760G/SB710
(AMD 780L/SB710)

Thanks once again.

anku94 · 19th April 2010, 20:41

It's a good Motherboard. You can buy it. Unless Mr. Aggoswami has some objections, he seems so much more knowledgeable than me...

Chipz · 20th April 2010, 12:05

Okay let us see what Mr. Aggoswami says regarding this. Anyway I am going to the Gigabyte dealer to see if he has the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H.

aaggoswami · 20th April 2010, 16:31

I think that 780G/785 based mobo is better that 760L ( 760 is codenamed 780L ).

760 has Radeon HD 3000 as on board graphics, where as 780G has Radeon HD 3200 as on board graphics.
780G is superior than 760 any given day, so its better to go in for Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H.

So finally I went to the dealer in person. talked to him. He called the gigabyte dealer. Gave the advance, and finally the GAMA785GM will be available by tomorrow afternoon. Cost 4450 + tax.

I am gonna use it with AMD x2 240, 2GB DDR2 ram.

I would like to thank anku94, Aggoswami, and Immortalz for their most valuable inputs.

Thanks,
