ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO Motherboard
The AMD 785G platforms will be the first to trait highly predictable ATI Radeon HD 4200 Graphics, which means that DirectX 10.1 gaming performance will be coming to IGP main-boards. That means that the AMD 785G platform will have better video performance than the AMD 780G chipset, which uses ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics. The title of being the world's fastest motherboard GPU still belongs to the ATI Radeon HD 3300 Graphics on the AMD 790GX motherboards, as the second number in AMD's IGP taxonomy dictates the performance level. That is why the Radeon HD 3300 is faster than the Radeon HD 4200.

Even though the official release of the AMD 785G chipset is not set to occur until sometime in August, the first 785G motherboards have been transport to retailers for weeks and one managed to find its way to our front door here at technologyb2b “news n reviews” section. Nowadays, we have the ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO motherboard to take a glance at. This socket AM3 motherboard uses the AMD 785G and SB710 chipsets and is packed full of features.
The heat descend on the AMD 785G chipset is impressive looking with a twin color design that looks like something from the familiarize. The days of boring old cookie cutter heat sinks have been long gone, but it is still incredible that designers keep coming up with new and innovative cooling solutions.
Inside the retail box one will find the bundle that comes with the ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO motherboard. ASUS includes four Serial ATA cables, one Ultra DMA 133/100/66 cable, the I/O shield, Q-Connectors, user manual, motherboard support DVD and a case badge. The ASUS Q-Connectors allow you to hook up the front panel connectors to the supplied detachable plug and then connect this plug onto the motherboard. This is a life saver when assembling a system down in a case where space and light is at a least amount. The I/O panel is just the standard embossed metal one, which is a disappointment as we really like the ASUS Q-Shield version that is designed to reduce any electromagnetic interference from escaping out of or into the chassis through this area. It seems ASUS is planning on leaving that as an attribute on their higher-end products.
The ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO is a full size ATX motherboard that features the AM3 processor socket by AMD. The M4A785TD-V EVO uses Stack Cool 3+ and is part of the Extremes Design idea that ASUS is currently promoting. The board has a very clean layout and features an 8+2 segment power design. This motherboard features Side-Port Memory, which is an individual on-board DDR3 chip that acts as a memory buffer
for the integrated Radeon 4200 graphics. Since the board has the Radeon 4200 graphics on-board it also sports ATI Hybrid CrossFireX technology.
Development capabilities come in the form of three PCI slots, one PCI3 x1 slot and two x16 PCI-E 2.0 slots for those looking to run video cards in an ATI CrossFireX configuration. It should be noted that the blue PCIe 2.0 slot x16 operates at x16 mode and the gray PCIe 2.0 slot operates at x4 mode.
The back I/O panel offers plenty of connectivity. The board features a single purple PS/2 combo port and a total of six USB 2.0 ports available on the I/O panel with more available on the board itself. Extra connectivity includes an optical S/PDIF port, a single eSATA port, a single IEEE 1394a Fire-wire port, a single RJ-45 Gigabit LAN port and the eight channels surround sound ports. When it comes to video connections you have the 15-pin VGA port, DVI-D port and the HDMI port. This motherboard is fully HDCP compliant, so it should be ideal for Blu-Ray playback.
