AMD's new Fusion A-Series "Llano" accelerated processing unit (APU) is
shaping up to be a credible home and entertainment platform, but it is
also carrying the responsibility of making it to office spaces. Part of
that initiative would rest with the motherboard manufacturers to come up
with inexpensive and durable sub-$100 motherboards that can be bought
and deployed in bulk. Enter the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H. This micro-ATX
form-factor motherboard relies entirely on the platform's feature-set.
The FM1 APU socket is powered by a simple 4+1 phase VRM, it is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots supporting dual-channel DDR3-1600 MHz memory. Of the four expansion slots, there's one PCI-Express 2.0 x16, a PCI-E x16 that's electrical x4, and one each of PCI-E x1 and legacy PCI. To further make for its business PC outlook, there are headers for legacy ports such as LPT and COM (for dot-matrix printers in banks, etc.).

To ensure that HTPC builders aren't left out, there's all the
connectivity consumers will ever need, with display outputs including
one each of D-Sub, DVI, HDMI 1.4a, and DisplayPort 1.2; 8+2 channel HD
audio driven by high-grade Realtek ALC889A CODEC; four USB 3.0 ports
(two rear, two via header); storage connectivity that includes five
internal SATA 6 Gb/s supporting RAID, one power-eSATA 6 Gb/s; and
FireWire. Expect the Gigabyte A75M-UD2H to be a part of the company's
first-wave of socket FM1 motherboards.
