BIOSTAR TA75M+ Ver. 5.x Pro Reviews

Biostar's TA75M+ motherboard is a no-frills approach to the AMD A75 chipset. It's a microATX form-factor motherboard that can fit into nearly any case, has robust graphics and storage options and most importantly is very economical. If you're building a media-center or home theatre PC you'll find that the Radeon HD 6550D at the heart of the AMD A8-3850 CPU well suited; it supports (light) DX11 gaming, HDMI 1.3 output and typical media playback on IGP graphics alone. You can also take advantage of the Biostar TA75M+ motherboard's modest level of integration if you're building productivity computers for an office or home business. The Biostar TA75M+ draws very little electricity when paired with a low-wattage processor, so operating costs are quite good if electricity is expensive in your part of the world. Given that the Biostar TA75M+ retails for about $95 CDN ($95 USD, £55 GBP) and is paired with inexpensive AMD A8/A6 series Fusion processors, it's not a hard platform on the pocketbook..

This board isn’t going to appeal to everyone. There are those that are going to want to really get more performance from their processor and the processors that this board supports just can’t do that. AMD still has quite a lot of work to do in that category. As far as graphics go though, this board is more than capable of delivering some really good performance.
