nice motherboard…
good job buddy, but u should’ve specified the price of the board with different processors…
Yep, value for money is important !!!
I’ve got the M3A78-EM Motherboard. Yes, it’s nice.
But, the AMI BIOS has a Hard Drive Limitation. I purchased and installed a
Seagate 1Tb Hard Drive, and, apparently, it’s too large for this BIOS.
Other than that limitation, it is a nice Motherboard.
