ASUS M5A88-V EVO AMD 880G Motherboard

This ATX motherboard uses the AMD 880G chipset and a Socket AM3 interface. It supports DDR3 memory up to 16GB. The board is aimed at builders maintaining or repairing legacy AMD systems.

Who should consider this board

It suits technicians replacing a failed board in an existing AM3 chassis. Builders who need a newer socket, integrated graphics beyond the 880G, or memory types other than DDR3 should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification: Socket AM3

The CPU socket is fixed at Socket AM3. If your processor uses a different socket this motherboard will not accept it, making the socket the single detail that confirms compatibility.
