M3A78-EMH HDMI ดีตรง Heat sink ทองแดง (ส่วน GA-MA78GM-S2H เป็น อลูมีเนียม) ,Low CPU utilization in HD video playback แถม support AMD live (คงไม่ได้ใช้มั้ง)
M3A78-EMH HDMI ASUS Q-fan ไม่รู้ว่า GA-MA78GM-S2H มีอะไรทำนองนี้หรือเปล่า
With a street price of $99, Gigabyte’s board is the most expensive. ASUS follows at $89. Based on price alone, it’s tempting to crown ASUS the winner here since it delivers comparable performance at a statistically significant lower price. However, ASUS may want to make a couple changes to the board before it’s able to claim the value title. Currently, you give up too much for that $10 savings in out opinion. From BIOS flexibility to optical output and even eSATA support, which we see as an increasingly important feature. If you don't need those features, go ahead and save yourself the 10bucks, otherwise Gigabyte’s GA-MA78GM-S2H remains our top choice.
