seems like a pretty good deal.

You bet #1, especially if you are into the "2.3GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor".

I, however, am inclined to purchase a turbocharged 5.1 Hemi processor with dual overhead Muffler belts and extra large Blinker fluid reservoirs.

#2 wait, what?

do your dd this can be buggy read eggs reviews

The 780G mobo is awful. I have one and while the 3d integrated graphics work well, there are a lot of bugs. When I hold down my shift key the computer freezes.

nice price

Yeah, it's a good price.

#5 - I notice there are 4 capital letters in your post. I can only assume that you rebooted at least 4 times just to warn all of us. Thank you - thank YOU - THANK YOU!

how does this cpu compared with Q6600 or E8400?

#5, I've got the gigabyte 780g, and I think it's a pretty good platform. Maybe it's the Asus?

At #8 it unfreezes when you let go. You can also turn the refresh rate really low to to avoid the problem. It's still not good though for people who type fast. I have 2 of these (didn't know it was the board that caused the problem). I don't know if it's only on the Asus which is what I have.

#5, there are many things that can cause your computer to freeze. Most of them have nothing to do with the processor, or motherboard. This is a really good deal for a decent processor, and Asus motherboard.

#5, the shift key is for suckers. i recommend you don't use it. see i typed this whole post without using it. no need to thank me.

#13, how did you get the # sign in your post? Copy and paste?

lol

I have 2 of these and it's definitely the mobo. One computer has an Athlon 64, Windows XP, and an old 1900xtx. The other one has a phenom 9600, vista and a 4850. The only thing in common is the mobo. The only other thing that I can think of is that they both use PS2 keyboards. I'll have to try a USB keyboard to see if it fixes the problem. I got this board thinking that it would be a good for a HTPC (removing the dedicated card when I'm not gaming), but it's been quite a few headaches. The 2d graphics is awful. Websites lag when you're scrolling through them. The 3d graphics are nice for games like WoW but that's about it.

very good deal

Do you guys think there will be better mobo deals at Thanksgiving or Xmas?

#13, wow. 'nuff said.

I would never be using a full sized ATX board in an HTPC rig (to anyone considering it that is)... and I also stick with Gigabyte for my HTPC/budget needs.
