Hello All,
I hope all is well with everyone. The question I got is regards to AMD APU's. I am planning on creating a SFF desktop using the zacate apu whenever that is released so I would be looking for an ITX sized motherboard. Now I saw some pics of the ITX motherboards already including the APU. Now this is where I get confused, the mboard had a pci-express 2.0 which I would assume be for a graphics card (or maybe hardware raid controller
but I dont see why I would put one on an ITX board). The APU already has a graphics processor so would putting an amd graphics board increase overall graphics processing power (the APU and GPU from the grahics board work together...a but like hybrid crossfire) or would putting an amd graphics board be a waste since the APU wouldn't work with the GPU? Oh the graphics board I would be putting wouldnt be powerful at all. Just enough to watch full HD content and maybe play some stategy games like starcraft II or something like that.
Thanks for the replies and insight.
