“The main features that will really draw consumer attention to the A785GM-M is the integration of ATI’s HD 4200 graphics on the motherboard. While we weren’t able to play some of the top FPS games on the market at decent resolutions, we were able to play games like Quake Live and F.E.A.R. at relatively high resolutions. The addition of HDMI and high-quality audio options makes this board ideal for those upgrading their HTPCs to handle high-definition content.”Here are some more Motherboard articles from around the web:

The subject of the newest review here at PC Perspective is a tiny little AMD 785G based board with some impressive features. Though the ECS A785GM-M only a mATX board, it can handle AMD’s new 140W processors, AMD Hybrid Crossfire technology and DirectX 10.1, all for just $100.
