A simple and inexpensive motherboard for the enthusiast or the first time builder, the Asus M2NBP-VM is a great starting point for anyone wanting to build or upgrade their system. Designed for the small form factor, this motherboard will fit into most small desktop systems. Equipped with an AMD socket AM2, suitable for Athlon 64 and Sempron processors, including the X2 and FX series, it's more than capable of handling anything you can throw into it.
Using the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 210S chipset with integrated graphics in conjunction with up to 8GB of DDR2 memory, the M2NBP-VM is perfect for those that don’t need a discrete graphics card, and also it features DVI-I and VGA/D-sub ports. Intelligent overclocking lets you choose a specific percentage based on memory and system requirements.
It also includes a gigabit Ethernet port, onboard 5.1 channel sound, and 4 SATA ports. With those 4 ports, the M2NBP-VM permits adding multiple hard drives to the system, managed by RAID 0, and 1. This versatile card has multiple expansion slots, including one x16, and one x1 PCIe slots, plus an additional two PCI slots. To build a powerful system, start with the Asus M2NBP-VM.
