We searched all over 2 continents for a motherboard containing AMD's 785G chipset. After we identified our target, we scoped it out, constructed a snatch and grab plan, and then waited till the time was right. We assumed the time was right last week to swoop in and grab the object of our want. Sure enough, the plan went off without a hitch as we brought the Gb. GA-MA785GPMT-UD2H back to the laboratories for integration. Before we could even try our hands at water boarding Gig's latest multimedia wonder, testing came to a grinding halt. It appears that in our rush to secure this motherboard that we overlooked one critical aspect during our inquiry. It seems the driver set we were privy to for testing is an early beta set missing many crucial driver features while AMD is still optimizing performance. We encountered no stability issues running a large number of baselines, but the absence of features and optimizations exclude us from publishing a food first look, particularly for those wanting to use this new platform in an HTPC or SFF gaming system. Naturally, there were talks with AMD explaining some of the early issues we ran into during testing. As such, AMD requested that we wait till the drivers are mature and based totally on early test results we intend to heed their requests. What we are able to do today is debate some early findings and supply 2 results that imply of the board's capacity with an early BIOS and a fast look at Blu-ray playback results.
