Get affordable graphics and computing performance with Micro-Star's KA780G motherboard. Based on AMD's 780G and SB700 chipsets, this ATX form-factor board is designed to support single- and multi-core socket AM2+ and AM2 processors including Phenom, Athlon 64 and Sempron CPUs.
Easily gain more power with an easy-to-use overclocking switch which allows support for 140W CPUs for future upgrades in processor capabilities. Dominate your applications and games with up to 8GB of DDR2 memory fitting into four 240-pin slots with dual channel support and 2600 Mhz Hyper Transport technology for increased performance. Onboard Gigabit Ethernet LAN means that you can connect to other networked devices without running into a bottleneck.
The integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 chipset can be augmented with a PCI-Express x16 graphics card to achieve Crossfire-linked performance at a fraction of the price. Video can be output through the DVI, D-Sub or HDMI ports and accompanied by eight channels of sound from the Realtek ALC888 audio chipset. Five 3Gb/s SATA connectors give you the ability to store massive amounts of data locally with several RAID configurations possible for extra security and high-speed performance and an eSATA port provides the same capabilities for an external drive. A half-dozen USB 2.0 ports give you additional options in connecting and expanding your system.
