This is the ASRock A780FullDisplayPort Motherboard and while it
performs as well as the ASUS 780G motherboard, its lack of HDMI and bad
placement of onboard connectors make it a little hard to recommend over
the other 780G Micro-ATX boards.
With AMD’s 780G chipset getting a lot of good press Tweak Town
thought they would give the ASRock A780FullDisplayPort Motherboard a
hands-on review and the results have been covered over 13 pages.
In their final thoughts they said, “ASRock’s latest series of boards
have been reasonably impressive, however we still have a few issues
with the layout of this particular board. First, the locations of the
power connectors need a bit of work. Even for a cheap board, it’s still
not acceptable.
ASRock has managed to bring some good prices to the market with
their latest series of boards; while we didn’t get the full retail
package with this board, we aren’t expecting a huge amount of
additional features in the box. What was disappointing was not having
the DisplayPort card included, which eliminated this from testing.
Overall, the board has good potential for a HTPC as long as you’re not after 5.1 audio or HDMI”
