Think ive been a right plonker!!

I thought I had ordered this:
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H AMD 780G

But have infact ordered this.
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2800

Coupled with a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4850e 2.5GHz Socket AM2.

Will the later still be able to play 1080p using the onboard gfx card comfortable or have I made a big mistake.?

Bloody similar part numbers, was in a rush at work when I clicked buy!

Hi, it has a HDMI port and a HD video card so I can't see why it shouldn't play HD...

Both motherboards are the same. The only difference is the one you bought is ATX instead of micro-ATX and it has more pci-e slots.

If you have a HTPC case, check that ATX boards fit inside.

Ive got a Silverstone HTPC case ive had for 2 years currently got a P4 board in it with 4 PCI slots. Would this be ATX then?

The case is ATX so it will fit fine.

cheers chap, seriously out of touch with PC tech these days. Originally built my setup 6 years ago as a gaming machine in it's hayday, then got fed up with lag etc and converted it into a HTPC case running MCE2005, that is now outdated too. So had my use at least
