MSI G41M-P43 Combo Intel G41 LGA 775 DDR3 Micro ATX motherboard

Socket 775 DDR3 Micro ATX Board

This MSI G41M-P43 Combo motherboard uses the Intel G41 chipset and an LGA 775 socket for Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Duo processors. It supports dual-channel DDR3 memory at 1333, 1066 or 800 MHz up to 8 GB. The Micro ATX form factor fits smaller chassis while providing one PCI Express x16 slot, one PCI Express x1 slot and one PCI 2.3 slot.

Suits Legacy Upgrades and Basic Builds

The board suits users replacing a failed Socket 775 board or assembling a low-cost system for office tasks and older games. Four SATA II ports and a Realtek 8111E Gigabit LAN port handle storage and networking. Buyers needing more than 8 GB of memory, newer processor generations or modern high-speed interfaces should choose a different platform.

8 GB DDR3 Maximum Capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 8 GB DDR3 memory ceiling imposed by the G41 chipset. If the intended workload requires more RAM, this motherboard cannot meet it; if 8 GB is sufficient, the board delivers the core connectivity and expansion slots listed above.
