You can choose one of them or the other 780 mainboard.
Thank you very much. I found the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H at http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValu... (max 16 Gb RAM)
ASUS M4A78-VM at http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=daNjn5iQIh14MVvN (max 8Gb RAM)
Jetway PA78VM5-H at http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/spec/PA78VM5-H.pdf But its maximum RAM seems to be 4Gb, and I'd like something more
and Colorful C.A780G X5 http://en.colorful.cn/Product/Specific.aspx?GUID=445638f9-8ec4-423b-8c00-4f0... I can't find how much RAM can it hold (the picture shows 4 slots) It has 2x8 Mb Rom chips, maybe socketed (by the picture, I didn't find any manual)
But I didn't find any mainboard by the name Shine or Tilapia, do you have any reference?
most of the bios with public mainbard are soldered, but you can also use flashrom or external programmer which has test clip. take this as an example http://www.dediprog.com/SPI-flash-in-circuit-programming/ISP-Testclip-SO8
Ok, thank you very much. I'll try to use flashrom and buy the programmer + clip when I brick it.
