AMD Dual Graphics: Unrivalled Upgradability
The AMD A75/A55 series platform showcases AMD Dual Graphics technology, allowing users to further boost 3D graphics performance by adding an additional discrete AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 series graphics card* to the system. This unique Dual Graphics technology means users can enjoy higher frame rates on the latest gaming titles, utilizing the processing power of both discrete and integrated graphics processors.
Note: This new design requires APUs/CPUs in an FM1 packaged and is not backwards compatible with the AM3 CPUs.

Could be better
Bought this board for my A8 3870k. Had to update the bios to keep from crashing every ten minutes. Also, with only 4 on board usb ports adding devices is a bit of a hassle, specially since both my keyboard and mouse are usb.

Best Combo Deal, Wish I could get more !!
By far the best motherboard and CPU combo I have ever purchased. My customers rave about the speed, and the video rates they get. Only, not available on line anymore...

Extremely Disappointed
This is the third motherboard in a row I purchased from you that was dead on arrival. I used to be able to rely on you for at least semi adequate quality but this is horrible!

Strange animal
Of the many motherboards I've used to build barebone kits this is the only motherboard that used only two (2) pins for CMOS. All my other boards came with a three (3) pin setup and a jumper to use to clear CMOS. Needless to say with a two (2) setup (and no supplied jumper) when I would need to clear CMOS it's up to me to locate a jumper in my spare parts box.
