Whats the difference between 770 and 780?

[batuchka]

Hmm ok

770 chipset comes in 2 flavours
a) Ones with SB 600
b) Ones with SB 700 and
c) Has no integrated video

It is designed to run a single GPU, has a single PCIex16 2.0 slot and is in ATX form factor

780G is on SB700 and has these features
a) HD3200 for its integrated video
b) DVI+ VGA and HDMI for rear connectors on most models
c) Typically in mATX form factor
d) Also has a single PCIex16 2.0 slot

[orbvius]

IC. Thanks. I should be looking at 780 or 790 boards.

You are welcomed ^^
