Which is Better?

[nightslicer]

hi guys, i saw these 2 mobos and saw a price difference, however i would like to know which would be a better buy for me and what the differences are between them both. I am also buying an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4ghz for the better one.

 

 

mobo 1:

Spending about 30 to punch both searches into Google and then spending an additional 30 seconds scanning through those pages will show that the M5A78LM/USB3 is a better option.

Unless you intend to use it as an expensive Frisbee, in which case I would go with the other.

 

Also, as a general answer the most expensive is usually the better.

The Asus site has got a useful "compare" facility, which makes choosing easy
