Gigabyte GA-MA69CM-S2H

摘要

The name is virtually the only unwieldy thing about the Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H motherboard. This compact AMD-chipset board offers a full set of ports and features, plus plenty of expansion capability, all for around $75. The board's Socket AM2 accepts Athlon X2, Athlon 64, or Sempron processors. The AMD 690 chipset includes built-in Radeon X1250 graphics, offering full (if pokey) DirectX 9 support, muscle enough to drive all of Windows Vista's Aero effects, and excellent video-playback capabilities for DVD and high-definition video (Blu-ray and HD DVD). The chipset isn't well-suited to 3D gaming, however.
