Thread: Whats the difference between Gigabyte MA785GMT-US2H & MA785GMT-UD2H

first of all the price tag

i knw people suggested u the d2h model
but the thing i could find anywhere is the s2h with a big price tag

well its listed in deltapage for 6k is that good, well its almost similar to the UD2H and the price also seems the same. Thats why I was wondering whats the difference.

What price did u see it for?

Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H ? Lynx-The Electronics & Computer Superstore

here it is

Well thats nearly 1k more.
So is it ok for me to buy this, since the UD2H seems to be unavailable.

785GMT-UD2H supports DDR3 RAM IIRC, and the other one is DDR2. If I were you, I'd pick the DDR3 option, merely for future proofing.

That would be the MA78GM-US2H the one without the "T" thats DDR2 one. The one I'm talking about is MA785GMT-US2H. check out the link
GIGABYTE - Product - Motherboard - Specification - GA-MA785GMT-US2H (rev. 1.0)

Ah yes, the GMT US2H looks to be as good. Not a problem if you get it.

Ok then will get the same.
going to ritchie st in another hour.
Any body has any opinion about the Asus M4A785TD-V-EVO.
If i dont get the gigabyte mobo i am planning to get the Asus. My budget will
exceed by 2k by this though.

asus is a good mobo

Yep in the end I have bought the Asus mobo

This is what D stands for in Gigabyte...

Then probably S stands for speakers only edition

The D stands for Durability.
The D board uses solid caps completely - which makes it more durable. The S board uses solid caps only for the CPU VRM circuitry.. everything else are electrolytic caps.
