go with a 78LMT-S2P or a M68MT-S2P

 

[guru_urug]

Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P @2.8k (maybe less bargain)
Its AM3+ ready (with a BIOS update)

Btw if u going to lammy, ask in Othree(behind bus stop/opp police stn) ,Shankeshwar, cassette world, and obviously primeabgb and theitwares

 

[soyab0007]

GA-MA78LMT-S2 has 3+1 phase power design
and
m68 has 4+1 phase power design

is there any difference
i would like to go or ma78

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3 - GA-MA78LMT-S2 (rev. 3.x)

 

[guru_urug]

try to get the 78-S2P board, it has support for AM3+ processors(future-proof) via a BIOS update.
78-S2 doesnt have that, though it supports AM3 completely

Avoid 68-S2P, becoz of this:
* If you install AMD AM3 CPU on this motherboard, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0 (5200MT/s) to HT1.0 (2000 MT/s) spec; however, the frequency of AM3 CPU will not be impacted. Please refer "CPU Support List" for more information.

So choice pref shud be
78-S2P
78-S2
Gigabyte GA-MA74GMT-S2 (this one is based on older chipset, but has full AM3 support)
