A simple and inexpensive motherboard for the enthusiast or the first time builder, the MSI K9MM-V is a great starting point for anyone wanting to build a system or upgrade their motherboard. Designed with the small form factor case in mind, this motherboard will fit into most smaller desktop systems. Equipped with an AMD socket AM2, suitable for Athlon 64 processors, including the X2 and FX series, the K9MM-V is more than capable of handling anything you may want to run.
Using the VIA K8M800 chipset, the K9MM-V adds up to 2GB’s of DDR2 memory to give you powerful support for memory intensive applications. It also includes a 10/100 Ethernet port, onboard 5.1 channel sound, and 2 SATA ports. Add multiple hard drives to the system through those ports -- the K9MM-V supports RAID 0 and RAID 1.
It has multiple expansion slots, including one AGP slot for those older graphics cards, and three additional PCI slots. Build your ideal system: the MSI K9MM-V is a great start.

Rather impressive for such a good price
- Pros: Great price for an AM2 mobo that will still support AGP for those of us who just recently bought good video cards (such as the Radeon x-series) and don't want to have wasted that money. Board also installs perfectly in standard ATX case and hooks up just fine to a 20-pin power supply (doesn't actually need an adapter - the pins are safety-designed so you can't hook it up incorrectly).
- Cons: Took awhile to get booted into the O.S. The BIOS has a regular boot sequence setting (disk, CD, hard drives...), and then there is another setting for the order to check the hard drives for an O.S., so I left my O.S. drive at #2 in that sequence figuring it didn't matter. However, the mobo never checked that disk until I set it to #1, so just keep an eye out for this if you are running multiple disks.
- Other Thoughts: One of VERY few choices left for those of us who need a decent dual-core processor but aren't ready to sacrifice our AGP cards to spend a bunch more for PCI-E. Also, this board maxes out at 2GB RAM, but I put 2GB in it, and it performs absolutely smoothly, so I don't think this will be an issue.
Great Board
- Pros: AGP 8x and DDR2 800 support... Installed AMD 64 3800+ clocked stable with stock heatsink fan 2.63gh. Im sure it could go 2.71 with better cooling. Used my old geforce 6600gt runs BF2, quake4, Far CRy very smooth...
1600x1200 everything on low to mid 1024x768 on high
- Cons: Max mem voltage 2.0 !!!!
Keep that in mind when buying ram for this board.
PNY gaming ram will only run at 667 @ 2 volts needs 2.1
- Other Thoughts: Went from amd xp 1900+ 1gb pc133
TO this board amd 3800+ ddr2 667 1gb
DIdnt even have to redo the os. changed out the board cpu and ram and she updated no problems.
Old board was sk11 via chipset.
Had the latest via 4in1 installed befor the update.

- Pros: Decent if you plan to use without a newer AGP 1.5v 8x card.
- Cons: MB is setup for a 1.5v slotted AGP card. However I could only get older dual slotted (1.5 & 3.3v) cards to work in the slot. I have an Powercolor HD3850 and it will boot up initially, but if you reboot/shutdown & restart - the MB will not post. Using 1.7 BIOS. Does not matter what setting you change. MSI would not troubleshoot and said to refer to their list of 12 cards for the ones that work.
- Other Thoughts: Their support response time was very prompt. But their actual support service was very very poor. I mean they basically said if it is not on their support list then you are OOL. If you look on the list you will see 1.5v slotted AGP cards. What is the point in having standard specsifications anymore?
Return Of The Penguin.....
- Pros: The price and design. You can keep your AGP video card and step up to the dual core spectrum. You'll be covered if the board gives you any problems - you got it from Newegg!
- Cons: Only one ide slot, the usb coding and haphazzard bios functionality.
- Other Thoughts: All other aspects considered, this MB enabled me to build my first dual-core machine. Against a great deal of odds, I succeeded and that in itself makes me feel great. I read all the reviews first, then proceeded to build the board with only the bare requirements before loading my OS. This worked fine, then as I added each card (video, 1394, etc., etc.) I went back in and checked the bios and made necessary adjustments to the setting. The 'Halt On Errors' was the trickiest setting to over come and I'm still dealing with it when I forget to use my keyboard if the application ask me to load something from a disk. My system has an AMD 5600+ CPU, 500 GB SATA HDD, 2 GB DDR800 RAM with an Ati Radeon X1550 video card and a 1394 firewire card. It enables me to produce great DVDs.
A Great Budget Board !!!
- Pros: It's a Solid little Board With a verry user friendly BIOS that has a lot of options for those that don't know too much. Super Easy to set up and everything worked right out of the box(Memeory, CPU etc...) Easy and forgiving to mount. There are also tons of AGP settings which pull a lot of preformance out of an AGP card
- Cons: I would have to say one con would be that the heatsink mount kinda sucks it is a bit hard to mount it but once it's on it's solid.
only one IDE slot but thats not such a big deal cuz I would rather have a working system instead of a dead one and once I get the 2 SATA drives I want it won't matter.
- Other Thoughts: I like the board, I got it cuz my system was dying and I needed something that ran a Dual-core and an AGP card cuz I didn't have money for a new Video card. The over view on newegg's site and Msi's site say that it runs an FX and the book it comes with say's on the cover "Designed for FX/X2 Processor's" Yet on MSI's Site it says the FX-62 won't work....But mine is doing just fine and it hase been on for about 3 days and I have been trying to stress it a little to see if anything is going to happen, Nothing so far. Also it list's on MSI's site the supported memory and my G.skill isn't there but it seems to be running that fine as-well. So 40 a $50 board I would say get it !
