The GA-880GMA-UD2H is a microATX board that is based on the upcoming AMD 880G chipset. In fact, AMD 880G chipset is not much different the AMD 785G launch a few months ago. The major difference is the integrated graphics is Radeon HD 4250 (DX10.1) instead of Radeon HD 4200 on 785G. From what we gather, it is just a higher GPU CLK but there might be some other changes as we get closer to the official launch. This board supports the AM3 Phenom II/Athlon II with HT3.
