The A85X gives you eight SATA 6Gb/s-capable ports, RAID 5 support, and the ability to divide the APU’s 16 lanes of PCI Express 2.0 into a pair of x8 links. Here is an excellent review of the A10-5800k which is the 100w version of the A10-5700. Page 6 talks about the A75 and A85X mobo's.+1.....as I mentioned in post #4, A85X have more options for future upgrades.....for the same price and brand, the one with more options seems to be a better pick.....
More is not always better...
