ASUS M3N78 Pro GeForce 8300 Motherboard Review

The ASUS M3N78 Pro, based on NVIDIA’s GeForce 8300 chipset, supports both AM2 and AM2+ CPUs including future 140w TDP Phenom CPUs (current Phenom CPUs max out at 125w TDP). The ASUS M3N78 Pro is also the first AMD platform motherboard to natively support 1066MHz DDR2 memory.

..Well, the GeForce 8300 chipset does add that extra "oomph" that the GeForce 8200 chipset could not. With the support for future processors, and an inexpensive, well built board, the ASUS M3N78 Pro is a really good deal if you are looking for a solid platform for your next HTPC or workstation build. Overall, for the price it is a decent buy, and if you can live with the little downfalls and plan to run it at stock speeds - give it a whirl.
