Thunderbird A75 is based on a new generation of technology released by AMD in late 2011.  Apart from having the memory access controller and the graphics processor in the CPU which AMD calls the APU for Accelerated Processing Unit, the graphics processor is in fact a group of 400 Stream cores which deliver a high level of graphics performance.  These cores are DirectX 11 enabled, and can boost the power of an add-on graphics card if one is installed.  The APU has 4 computing cores and they are capable of over-clocking within thermal limits. 
In brief, Thunderbird A75 is a machine suitable for the latest graphical applications on top of all general applications.  This is a new platform, and its FM1 APU socket has a different form factor to the previous AM3 socket and therefore is not compatible with AM3 CPU models.   
This system can support up to 64GB of DDR3 memory in its four (4) DIMM sockets (with two banks providing dual-channel performance).
