Today we are looking at a new chipset and processor form AMD. The AMD 780G chipset features integrated DirectX 10 compliant graphics and a wealth of other features.

The new processor from AMD is the Athlon X2 4850e that has a bargain price, dual-cores and low power requirements. The two components together represent one of the best low cost PC setups you can get.

Review excerpt: “After all the dust settled the 780G and Athlon X2 4850e performed well. Especially so when you consider that the CPU retails for only $89 and the CPU with the mainboard will cost around $180. Throw in a $50 HD 3450 discrete graphics card and you have a very low cost machine that can play games like Crysis (albeit at low settings).” Read the full AMD 780G and Athlon X2 4850e review here.
