Is the GIGABYTE GA MA785GM-US2H better than the 790 board.
1. X2 555 is a fast processor. but still a dual core.

2. unlocking isn't a guarantee thing. it may unlock or mayn't. some motherboards let you unlock 3rd core if 4 core unlocked processor isn't stable & gives errors.

3. fail to unlock & u stuck with dual core.

4. unlocking will produce extra heat. PROBLEM. the stock cooler can't cool a beast. RESULT. you'll have a very very hot processor. even at idle.

5. both the board you mentioned is AM2+. get AM3 board. will need DDR3 ram.
