| Re: Asus m4a785g htpc
All the comparisons I have seen so far puts the 785G boards ahead in everything but 2 areas......
1. LPCM audio output (which this board fixes, I presume with an additional audio chip - VIA VT1828S/VT2020)
2. Power draw (which is ~6W different, which i am not going to lose sleep over and seems a fair trade for the extra performance)
Interested to hear why you think the 9300 is better.
