Although USB 2.0 slots alone currently serve as well as ever, an upgrade would better future-proof your system as more USB 3.0 compatible peripherals emerge. USB 3.0 slots are theoretically capable of data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gbit/s, which is over 10 times faster than the USB 2.0 top speed of 480 Mbit/s. The Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 has 6 USB 2.0 slots and 3 USB 3.0 slots.

The Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 does not support multiple graphics cards via Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire. View online (36 pages) or download PDF (9 MB) Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 User. This means it is perfectly capable of accommodating the latest graphics cards, although it is important to try and use a graphics card with the same graphics card interface of PCIe v2.x, as anything below will not reach the motherboard's potential, and anything above will have its performance slashed to the bandwidth maximum of the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3's PCIe v2.x.

There are 1 PCIe x16 slots on this motherboard. Integrated graphics are a cheap alternative to using a graphics card, but should be avoided when frequently using modern applications or games that require intense graphical processing. This allows for integrated graphics when paired with a compatible CPU that supports them. The Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 supports onboard graphics. SATA 2.0 is a very common standard, and despite the emergence of SATA 3.0 - whose potential is difficult to reach currently - SATA 2.0 remains a viable option. These allow for data speeds of up to 3GB/s. The Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 has 6 SATA 2.0 hard drive slots. Its size comes at the cost of features, so there are likely to be far fewer connections and expansion options available than in a larger motherboard. The Micro-ATX Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 should fit into all ATX cases, but its smaller size allows you to downsize your system build as a whole. It uses the DDR3 memory type, with maximum speeds of up to 1333 MHz, and 4 DDR3 slots allowing for a maximum total of 32 GB RAM. Any compatible AMD CPU will have the same socket entry. The Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 uses the AMD Socket AM3+ CPU socket.
