_____________
There are three chipsets in this family, which differ only in the number of graphics ports (and PCI-E lanes) and consequently in supported CrossFire modes. All these chipsets support Hyper-Transport 3.0 (backward-compatible with Hyper-Transport 1.0). Maximum bus clock rate has grown from 1000 MHz to 2600 MHz. Thus, its throughput has grown from 6.4 GB/s to 20.8 GB/s.

I have the 770 chip set on an Asus M3A board running an AMD X2 6400 and am very happy with it. Running an XFX 8800 gt 512 Alpha Dog @ 625/900 I pump 12000 in 3dmark2006. Higher if I clock the Alpha Dog up and let it bark.

It was an easy setup, great value board at (currently) $90, all the features and performance and none of the hype prices.
