A simple and inexpensive motherboard for the enthusiast or the first time builder, the MSI K9N6SGM-V is a great starting point for anyone wanting to build a new system or upgrade their aging motherboard. Designed with the small form factor case in mind, this motherboard will fit into most small desktop systems.
Equipped with an AMD socket AM2, suitable for Athlon 64 processors, including the X2 and FX series, the K9N6SGM-V is more than capable of handling anything you may throw at it. Using the Nvidia GeForce 6100 chipset with integrated graphics in conjunction with up to 2GB’s of DDR2 memory, it’s perfect for those that don’t need a discrete graphics card.
It also includes a 10/100 Ethernet port, onboard 7.1 channel sound, and 2 SATA ports. Add multiple hard drives to the system through those two ports: the K9N6SGM-V supports RAID 0, 1, and JBOD. The K9N6SGM-V has multiple expansion slots, including one x16 (runs at x8 mode), and one x1 PCIe slots, plus an additional two PCI slots. Build a powerful system: the MSI K9N6SGM-V is a great start.
