I don’t have much information related to Asus M4N78-VM but I know about features of Asus M3N78-VM. The key feature of this motherboard is windows 7 compatible platform provided by him. It is also capable to support hybrid SLI as well as multi core processors. It uses NVIDIA 8200 advanced chipset. It is an ideal option to build new system whose main aim is to support high resolution graphics. This motherboard supports SATA hard drive also. From my point of view this one is most powerful feature this motherboard contains. It enables you to perform bios update in very simple way compared to others. It provides the facility of updating Bios by using USB also.

I am not one who has vast knowledge about hardware peripherals. Actually, I asked my friend about Asus M4N78-VM. After doing long discussion I got following information about it. He told me that this motherboard is capable to support all processors especially multi core processors. It also provides support for AMD sockets. It has dual –channel DDR2 memory support. The system bus used by this motherboard is based on Hyper Transport 3.0.it uses Quiet TM as a AMD cooling technology. The main aim behind introducing this motherboard is to replace older 32-bit technology with newer one that is 64-bit technology. This one provides faster access to memory compared to other ones.
