I've got a Phenom II 705e coming for my htpc setup. Now I'm wondering about the motherboard. I've kind of decide on a mATX 785G based board with DDR2 memories (since I already have the memory).

Which would be better?

Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H or
Asus M4A785D-M-PRO ?

I was going to try unlocking the cpu.
They both cost about the same, so that's not a factor.
