Socket AM2+ micro-ATX motherboard

This ASUS board fits the Socket AM2+ platform in a micro-ATX form factor. It supports DDR2 memory up to 8 GB total capacity. The package includes the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel.

DDR2 memory limit

DDR2 technology caps the maximum supported memory at 8 GB across the available slots. This ceiling is set by the memory standard itself rather than the board layout. Builders needing more capacity must choose a different platform.

Micro-ATX form factor

The micro-ATX dimensions decide whether the board fits the intended case and aligns with mounting points. Verify the case specification before purchase to ensure mechanical compatibility.
