The Biostar TA770 A2+ we'll be reviewing today is based on AMD's 770 chipset and is targeted at people who are looking to build a strong 'Spider' platform and not willing to spend a whole lot. Biostar sells this motherboard in two variants, a v5.x and a v6.x. The version that we have is 5.2 and the only difference between the two is that v5.2 carries 7.1 channel audio onboard, where as the v6.x has a 5.1 channel audio system. The rest is exactly the same and is clearly mentioned in the manual.

Specification



This board supports all the latest Phenom processors and is AM2/AM2+ compatible thus extending its compatibility to older processors as well. It supports x4 DIMM slots for DDR2 memory up to 8GB. The maximum memory frequency supported is 800MHz.

The Southbridge is based on SB600 unlike the 780G boards that have the newer Southbridge (SB700). RAID support is present in the form of 0,1,0+1 configurations. For sound we have Realtek ALC888 7.1 channel audio, which also supports HD Audio out.
