    I used this and the A8-3850 processor to build a heck of a powerful HTPC without having to buy a video card. I can do 1080p HULU and Netflix and it only runs 10 – 20 percent CPU. Everything that I have tried this computer seems to run great!

    BTW: I see another review says you need a 500W Power supply but I am running this with a 380 watt Antec EA-380D and have no problem.

    The computer I built is.

    SilverStone Aluminum/Steel Micro ATX HTPC Computer Case GD05B (Black)
    Lite-On IHES208 8X Internal Blu-Ray Combo Drive (Black)
    Gigabyte A75M-UD2H
    AMD A8-3850 APU with AMD Radeon 6550 HD Graphics 2.9GHz
    Corsair 4 GB DDR3 240-pin Server Memory Kit CMV4GX3M2A1333C9
    Antec EA-380D

    I would have gotten faster RAM but I had this already from my 1st try at building an HTPC using the E350 CPU and that did not work out well so I just changed out the MB and CPU.

    this is a micro atx motherboard but it has everething what you need. sata 3, usb 3.0 all of new features my system is this motherboard, amd a8 3850 processor, 500gb hdd sata 3, 4 gb patriot ddr3 1866. windows 7 experience processor 7.3, ram 7.4, hard drive 5.9, aero 6.7, video card games 6.7 (integrated hd 6550d)
    i recommend put ram 1600 mhz. 1333 to 1600 its a big boost performance and the price is the same. but the 1600 to 1866 its a little boost performace and the price is big then i recommend 1600 mhz memory and you will have a complete mediacenter capable to do everithing at low cost.

    this platform is the best price/performance.
    if you are enthusiast then this platform its not for you.

    Mobo + Radeon 6670 for Crossfire Work Great!, October 27, 2011

    This review is from: Gigabyte A75M-UD2H AMD Socket FM1 for AMD Llano CPU, HDMI, Dual Graphic Micro ATX Motherboard (Personal Computers)

    I posted this under the Radeon 6670 listing, but I figure it’s applicable here as well. The motherboard is great, easy to install and has everything you need (except IDE). It comes with 4 SATA cables, so keep that in mind in case you need a 5th.

    Regarding setting up Crossfire with this motherboard and a Radeon 6670:

    Ok, the card works great looks good etc etc… No complaints about performance here, but rather about how to enable Crossfire (AKA Dual Graphics). Crossfire is when you integrate a video card like this Radeon 6670 with another 6670 or an onboard mobo video GPU. I bought this card in conjunction with the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H AMD Socket FM1 for AMD Llano CPU and put an AMD A8-3850 processor in that. I had a hell of a time setting the Crossfire up, so I’m going to give some steps to help those who may follow after me into the same pitfalls…

    1. Install Windows 7, get your drivers, service pack updates, essentials and everything else working first. You can install software and such too if you want, but it doesn’t matter, just make the operating system stable.
    2. I used my Gigabyte DVD included in with the mobo to install drivers for the onboard card and other mobo adapters, but install whatever peripherals you can with your included install discs.
    3. Install your graphics card softwares. With the Radeon 6670, the install suite includes the AMD Vision Engine Control Center, which is what you will use to enable Crossfire later.
    4. Whichever graphics port you were using for the install, make sure you turn off the PC, swap your DVI cable to the other jack, and boot up with that. Basically, ensure that the PC recognizes both adapters and is able to send video through either one.
    5. Now that you have all that working, reboot the PC and press Delete at the boot sequence to go into the BIOS.
    6. Go to Advanced Bios Features and set the “Init Display First” to “Onboard”. This will enable both video adapters to run simultaneously.
    7. This is where I got tripped up initially. After you set that to Onboard, save and exit BIOS. Then reboot and go back into BIOS. Go back to Advanced BIOS Features and look for a new field titled “UMA Frame Buffer Size”. Set it to 512MB or 1024MB (I set mine to 1024MB).
    - You should see that field now that Onboard was set. For me that didn’t show up at first until I set the Onboard setting and rebooted the BIOS.
    8. Boot your system normally using the mobo DVI port. Let Windows 7 recognize the hardware and such and install drivers.
    9. Shutdown the PC, plug the DVI cable into the Radeon 6670 and boot up.
    10. After the successful boot, if everything is set correctly you can open the AMD Vision Engine Control Center and you should be prompted to enable Crossfire now that it is available! If it doesn’t auto-prompt, check under “Performance”. There should be a separate tab/heading for “AMD Crossfire”. If not, then your system is not setup for it correctly. Check your BIOS settings again if this is the case, or make sure you have the latest update of AMD Vision Engine Control Center. You may have to find a separate Crossfire profile installer which can be found here: [...]
    Anyways, after many futile attempts to get this working, that process finally did it for me. Hope this helps others!
