If you could buy a 760G / USB3.0 board, even with SATAII, for $30-35, then I think that it would be a much nicer value proposition, especially with an under-$10 Athlon II X2 3.0Ghz dual-core, and some cheap DDR3 memory. It may also lack some of the 3D support.Įdit: Like AT (main site) says in their reviews, there are no bad products, just bad prices.

OTOH, I use to use ePSXe (emulator) on a 785G board, and it ran really well.
