The Asus M4A78LT-M LE is a low-end to mid-range microATX motherboard similar to the Asus M4A78LT-M. Aimed more at users seeking practical functionality, the M4A78LT-M LE sports only a maximum of 8GB of RAM (as opposed to the M4A78LT-M's 16GB) and 10 USB ports (as opposed to 12) while also lacking native HDMI support.

Meanwhile, the M4A78LT-M LE's integrated ATI Radeon 3000 graphics processor provides native 1080p high definition video and multi-monitor support via DVI and RGB outputs while ATI Hybrid CrossFireX technology allows any discrete ATI GPU to work together with the integrated Radeon 3000 for boosted graphical performance.
