So you're only getting two slots on that one.


Hello again,

Thanks for your help on my other thread.

Unfortunately am2 boards are hard to find. The m68m is not as well
specified as the 770ds3, I agree, but I cannot find a 770ds3 for sale.
The m68m was the only gigabyte am2 board for sale that I could find
brand new. I did look for second hand 770ds3 on ebay(co.uk) but no-one
was selling any. I would like to stick with gigabyte boards if
possible but I don't know that am2 boards are available from any other
manufacturer either.

Thanks,
Stephen.

Yeah, the selection of the old motherboards, is looking pretty thin
right now. I guess everything for AMD, would be moving to FM1, so
there's no reason to make the old boards.

This is what Newegg shows, in terms of socket versus products available.

CPU Socket Type
AM2+/AM2 (1)
AM2+/AM3 (2)
AM3 (55)
AM3+ (58)
AM3/AM2+/AM2 (7) --- One Asrock board, with mixed DIMM slots
FM1 (56)

The other Asrock board, has two DDR2 slots. ASRock A785GM-LE

Not a lot of good choices.
