Two motherboard,
MSI 770-C45 and magic pro MP-A2NG-D3
with chipset SB710 and MCP61P

Is there a big difference between them?
If i am not going to overclock anything,

someone said MCP61P has no hardware decode,
if i am using display card, is the hardware decode from MCP61P become meaningless?

MCP61P is the Southbridge chip produced by nVidia for their "GeForce 6000" series chipsets for the AM2 platform. The chipset is no longer supported as nVidia has discontinued their chipset business.

I'd have to agree with GeekApproved here....avoid "Magic Pro"....
