Well considering that the M2A-VM doesn't support the
6400+ http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...ge=en-us&model
=M2A-VM&os=17
I wouldn't consider using it. This board does not support any 125W
CPUs.
They were listed at first but presumably ASUS have had problems with
the
power needed and they have been removed from the supported list.

There is a list here that someone with a 125W processor could read.
Something with the 780G might be nice.

Also, this one has relatively good reviews. It is by Foxconn, so
getting support from other users might be tougher.
