I was wondering if anyone has bought or tried an AMD 785G or 770 chipset mobo from Asus. These boards (from Asus) seem to be in every store and heavily available online as well.
However, regarding Linux, they have more obscure hardware including the VIA Sound Controller Model VT1708S. Yes, you could buy a sound card if it posed a problem but it would be interesting how it is in Linux compared to the more common Realtek ALC888 or 889 sound chip.
Maybe Phoronix might test some time?
Anyway, I'm looking for a 785g or 770 mobo and don't know if I should only consider Gigabyte boards or consider Asus, too, although I'm reluctant with their decision to include 'other' hardware and their rep in the past for higher power consumption/heat. I've been told by some people that they have steadily improved with that aspect of their motherboards, though.
Well, any comments? Any interest?
