I bought the 880gm-ud2h this weekend bundled with a x2 555 processor which I hope to unlock to x4. It's a similar board, but no USB3 or 6Gb sata. Board and processor for $140. Not bad for quad core. It'll be the lightroom/photoshop/ home office machine.

The board is micro and affordable, so I'd like to get another to replace the htpc.

The integrated graphics performs really well. It definitely isn't the lame integrated graphics of old. It has dedicated faster memory on the board just for video and it shares RAM if the needs go beyond that. Plus if you need extra super duper graphics it has slots. It has plenty of SATA ports, built in firewire port in the rear and another header for a front one. It also has USB3 so it is a little future proof. It also has solid capacitors.

I installed 8 Gb of RAM on it and Win 7 64 bit.

    Thanks, I appreciate everyone’s brand recommendation but this one
    is specific.

    What features did you like about the 890GPA-UD3H over others ?

    For testing I’m leaning on integrated graphics, don’t need to have
    bridged monster gaming video cards.  Between 8 and 16gb RAM would
    be nice, I’d like to start with 8.

    I like Gigabyte. I just built a system for a family member two
    weeks using that CPU and am happy with the result.   I used a
    890GPA-UD3H

    I’m looking to build another inexpensive test box for 64 bit OS (
    mostly Win7 x64  for now ) and looking at the AMD Phenom X6 Black
    Edition 1090T processor at  $200 to see what hexa-core is all about.

    Does anyone have a specific recommendation for a favorite AM3
    socket motherboard I should look at, or also recommendation for
    what mobo to steer clear of ?

    Thanks
