Introducing the Motherboard

Introduction

Currently, the memory maximum size we have tested is 16 GB.

Thank you for choosing the A785GM-M motherboard. This motherboard is a high

performance, enhanced function motherboard that supports socket for AMD

Phenom

II processor (socket AM3) for high-end business or personal desktop

markets.

The motherboard incorporates the AMD 785G Northbridge (NB) and SB710

Southbridge (SB) chipsets. The Northbridge supports the HyperTransport

3.0 in-

terface. The memory controller supports DDR3 memory DIMM frequencies of

1333/1066. It supports four DDR3 slots with maximum memory size of 32 GB

. One

PCI Express x16 slot, intended for Graphics Interface, are fully compliant to the PCI

Express Gen2 (version 2.0). In addition, two PCI Express x1 slots are supported.

The SB710 Southbridge supports one PCI slot which is PCI v2.3 compliant. It

integrates USB 2.0 interface, supporting up to twelve functional ports (six USB ports

and three USB 2.0 headers support additional six USB ports). One onboard IDE

connector supports two IDE devices in Ultra ATA 133/100/66/33 modes. The

Southbridge integrates a Serial ATA host controller, supporting six SATA ports with

maximum transfer rate up to 3.0 Gb/s each. It provides AMD SATA RAID configura-

tion with RAID 0, 1 and 10 modes supported.

There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including one DVI port,

one VGA port, one HDMI port, one 1394A port, two eSATA ports, six USB ports,

one optical SPDIFO port, one LAN port and audio jacks for microphone, line-in and
