I have an AMD FX 6300 that came bundled with a Gigabyte 78LMT-S2P (Revision 5.0). I was happy with the processor until I ran Passmark CPU test and got a score in the 3,500 range, compared to Passmark average of around 6,500. I do have the correct BIOS version for the mobo (F3). The tech at the computer store said that motherboard is no good for that processor (despite the fact that they bundled it and sold it to me), and that I need at least a 780 chipset. Don't know if he was just trying to make a sale or if he was correct. I don't overclock or use it for gaming. It is used with Windows XP home to run Pro Tools recording software.
