    Anyone got Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H and like to review it?

    Hi All,

    Looking to build an HTPC soon and curious how the Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H compares against the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H.

    Anyone bought one and like to review/ share their thoughts?

    Thanks.

    The DS2H is the one with 128MB of sideport graphics memory right?

    I have the S2H in my bedroom HTPC, seems pretty good. Haven't tried the onboard HD decoding yet as until recently I didn't have any HD footage, and now I just haven't had the time to sit and get it all configured and tested.

    BTW, it sits nicely in a Silverstone LC19 case

    Yeah the DS2H is the one with 128MB of sideport graphics memory.

    Was wondering whether the sideport memory made much of a difference.
    That is, whether 128Mb is enough or would I be better using the S2H and using say 256Mb for the UMA Buffer Size?
