Bjorn3D review: The MA785GMT-UD2H is a nice board, with enough ports and features to satisfy budget buyers. Gigabyte goes a step further by pairing the board with the Realtek ALC889A codec to give it support for Dolby Home Theater through S/PDIF. AHCI support is a question mark.

Great unlocking and overclocking board! This board is virtually identical to the MA-785GM-S2H DDR2 version, and I can confirm that it overclocks and unlocks just as well. Runs G.Skill DDR3-1600 perfectly with various processors (tried multiple chips: Sempron 140, Athlon II X2 250, and Phenom X2 550BE).

I bought this to upgrade the Pentium 4 crappy computer of the mom of my GF. I couldn't believe how cheap it was to make her computer at least 10x faster. I've used 2x1Gb OCZ DDR3 40$ and AMD X2 250 at 70$.

This is an excellent motherboard. It's Gigabyte, so quality bas always. Its got every port you can imagine. 6 USB PS/2, eSATA, FW 400, 10/100/100 ethernet, everything. Still have legacy support for IDE and Floppy so that good.
This is like the ultimate HTPC board.. m-atx 4 ddr3 slots hdmi video ext sata and firewire loads of bios options...there's not another board out there that has all these features together and anywhere close to this price ...popped in an athlon x4 620 and 4gb of ddr3 and a blue ray drive and wow the video output on this seems loads better compared to my old 8600gts ...it even handles WoW 1280x720 at high settings thanks Gigabyte!

For under $200 you have an excellent high quality MB and the ability to turn a dual core 550 to quad core as well as decent on board video capability. At this price you just can't go wrong. Just add your ram, and if you need more power for gaming a decent video card and your good to go.
I like any mainboard that allows voltage to be lowered and not just raised. I wish all motherboard makers did that. The only issue I have is that both boards will occasionally shut down upon insertion of a USB device. It's not an electrical issue with the case or power supply cause they are in differnt cases with different supplies.

Would and probably will buy another of these. Maybe even another for a gift system. Runs nice and tight. After struggling over a cratered RAM module this thing booted up no problem at all and is solid so far. Have to love the 2oz. copper layer. Bios is pretty good with loads of options.
Would/will buy again.
