ok, i'm looking at these 2 motherboards in a side-by-side comparison over at the egg:
1) ASUS M3A78-EM
2) GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2HP
it appears that, other than the number of USB ports on the board, the main difference between the two is the audio chipset used, and i'm just wondering which is better.
1) uses Realtek ALC1200 and 2) uses Realtek ALC889A
anyone know which one is better?
edit:\ btw, i want an audio chipset that will be able to decode all the current audio formats for HD content, and preferably have as much future support as possible, without having to resort to an addon sound card.
