Jesus, people around here have lost their minds. I realize it's an older chipset. I also realize that there are MUCH better and NEWER components. I also understand however that sometimes you have to make sacrifices when you need to go cheap. Here, is this better? I was trying to keep the cost close enough to just the FM2 cpu to justify the option but apparently we have to all have the best.
