Asus M4A78LT-M Vs. Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0

Hey,

Any real difference between these two boards, aside from latter has 8x/8x CF ability and is ATX?

I can't really see myself going CF, due to driver issues I keep hearing about - but I suppose it is an option.

Do they both clock the same? Anyone know?

Is the FC worth the extra £5?

Regards,
Cookeh

Think the 790 chipset has a better onboard gpu.

Indeed they are.

Any ideas re this thread though - from what I've seen you're very clued up on motherboards

The Foxconn (790) will be slightly better as it uses the more upto date 750 Southbridge where as the Asus (760) uses the older 710

Cheers.

That's made choice easier - was leaning to Foxconn anyway, I know they do good budget boards, whereas not so sure about ASUS

Budget or not..... Personally I don't think any of them are that good
