from u guys i know that the biostar TA785G3 HD is a nice MB. then i check out there website and am confused abount all the different models they have with the 785g chipset
1. TA785G3 HD
2. TA785G3+
3. TA785-A3
4. TA785G3
5. A785G3.
i just wanna know whats the difference between these boards and which one of them have the sideport memory and what type of memory do they have (ddr3, ddr2, like that). most of them have two revisions as in the biostar site whats the difference between them.
and the final thing is how good is this sideport thing provided i will not be going for discrete graphics priced more than Rs 4000.
thanks in advance friends

since you will be using discrete graphics you want need sideport memory. only the first has that...its used when you are not going with discrete graphics and thus the igp uses sideport instead of the ram....
1 suggestion go with first mobo, use onboard graphics(they are pretty much good), save upto 5200 and blow it on hd5670...
