Today only. Newegg has the Asus F1A75-M PRO FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS for $85 - $20 rebate [Exp 5/31] = $65 with free shipping. Features quad USB 3.0 ports, SATA 6Gb/s, Multi-GPU CFX, and integrated AMD Radeon HD 6000 graphics.
Ben said, "integrated AMD Radeon HD 6000 graphics"!
This mobo has no graphics, but I suppose it a matter of semantics in that you can’t know that till you install a Llano A Series APU, it would be more correct to say it "supports the execution of".
Buy this and the A6-3650 2.6GHz (100W) Quad-Core APU Radeon HD 6530D Dx11 Graphics – OEM for $80. You’re building from a perfectly capable start for a nice mainstream computer for $145. There’s no way to get newer native USB 3.0 & SATA 6Gb/s and immersive graphics and lower overall TDP (power) in such a cost effective package.
Top it off with 8GB of CORSAIR Vengeance (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) for $58. The gain Llano on a Hudson D3 mobo is slight with this faster menory, but it’s not as bad discrepancy in price as it once was for picking DDR3 1866. Just over $200 for CPU+GPU, the mobo, and memory while providing a forward looking future backbone is very good.
Reading #1 made me tired.
