Attitude matters
^^ @ desibond ,the Gigabyte website clearly says " * Please use ATI Hybrid CrossFireX certified VGA card (i.e., ATI Radeon HD 2400, 3400 series)."
So the board will not work in crossfire mode with the higher series of ATI cards.Many reviews confirm this.

GA-MA78GM-S2H
AMD 780G Chipset
The onboard Graphics(ATI Radeon HD3200) fetched 2000+ in 3DMARK 2006 benchmarking......
This is ideal for an average gamer...... A dedicated graphics could be plugged in and crossfired with the IGP for better performance, but lacks since support is only for Low-end ATi HD Cards
The onboard Sound is excellent (106dB SNR ALC889A HD audio) with
More than that an eSATA port is available on this board....
Supports 16GBs of Memory to the maximum....
Solid Capacitors used on the board ensures better life for the board....
All these for a price tag under 5000/-
BUT SEVERAL REVIEWS OF THIS MOTHER BOARD SHOWS CONCERN OVER HEATING PROBLEMS ON THE INTEGRATED GRAPHICS SOLUTION...... Also it has been heard that gigabyte has rectified this in the newer version of this board rev1.1 to be right...adding additional cooling solution would be another option for that heating woes.......
OVERALL A Good FUTURE AND FEATURE rich board........
A GOOD BUY FOR THE PRICE
Comments and corrections are all welcome...... ahoy....

Had gone with a friend of mine to enquire about this board. But the dealer was keen on pointing out another board from MSI. MSI-K9A2VM-FD / FIH to be precise. So which one is better among these two? MSI-K9A2VM-FD / FIH or GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H !!

Using GA-MA78GM-S2H (rev 1.0),pretty feature rich board when compared to K9A2VM-FD /FIH-S.Get rev 1.1 of the Gigabyte board.
