Today’s review sample is the Hi-Fi A85W model, so let’s find out if an AMD version of BIOSTAR’s Hi-Fi motherboard continues to impress. Last time I used a BIOSTAR motherboard with the Puro Hi-Fi audio feature, I was quite impressed. Along with the release of AMD Trinity FM2 APUs, for the first time BIOSTAR has incorporated the Puro Hi-Fi design into an AMD platform motherboard. That motherboard had a marketing campaign centered around their enhanced Puro Hi-Fi audio solution. this in comparison feels more like "your system" running the newer version underneath.You may remember a few months back I did a review on the BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Z77X motherboard. * Real upgrade: A "fresh" upgrade is kind of like the new Linux Mint with your data on it. * Automated: APT does everything for you (well, until something goes wrong of course) * Complicated: Packages conflict with each others, they can bring complex dependencies and put you in situations that are difficult to solve. since your partitions aren't overwritten, nothing "forces" you to make backups. * Risky: The temptation when you upgrade with APT is not to perform backups. You're far from the beaten track and the added features might not work as well on your system as they were designed to. * Unreliable: Depending on your modifications, your sources, your added software and your configuration you could end up with a system that acts and feels really different than a brand new version of the newer Linux Mint release. using a fresh upgrade you could have downloaded all that data by simply getting the 700MB ISO. Assuming you installed nothing at all, that's about 3GB of data. * Slow: APT will download the new version of all the packages installed on your system. Here are the pros and cons of upgrading the system this way: This way of upgrading Linux Mint should only be recommended to advanced users. Alternatively, some releases were given a graphical upgrade tool to perform these steps. Pointing APT to the repositories of the newer releaseĪPT is the package management system used by Linux Mint. A "package" upgrade consists of the following steps:ġ.
