I'll be buying the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H. Unless you have all changed your mind about this board...

but what proc should I put on it?

Hi, i bought GA-MA78GM-S2H yesterday - windows installed and works, i connected with TOSHIBA 37X3000PG /full hd/ with HDMI cable - everything works well, but when im turn off tv and turn on again i have no screen displayed again, i need to restart, the same if i turn on when tv is off after turn on tv i didnt see.

Any ideas?

(Going off topic here, seal, but just have to ask
Are you on Vista or XP? If XP: No freezing issues (like with the 690g)?

the new ASUS M3A78-EMH HDMI is listed in Germay since today!

780G/SB700 ATi Chipset like the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H, but note the much bigger full-copper heatsink on the Northbridge (with GFX). Looks promising for ca. 70 €

Infos here:
ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Edit: the Asus does not have FireWire, like the Gigabyte (I need it for DV-Camcorder)!!!

I've ordered it as well should receive it today or tomorrow. (gigabyte version)

Don't like having to install vista, one bit though :[
So I might just try it, see how it goes and then revert back to XP. I bought 5000+ black edition (65w) version. That should be enough in xp for the HD stuff.

infy: on XP will work well, especially if you use Cyberlink Decoder for H64 stuff, the built in GFX has AVIVO (hardware H264 decoding) support and works perfectly
