Abstract: This is the board I've been using for some recent budget builds I've done using the newer socket AM1 processors. The Gigabyte board is quite a basic board in many ways, but has the essentials you'd want for a micro ATX build.Spec wise pretty low key (expe...
Comparing the AM1 motherboards the ASRock AM1H-ITX is our favourite. In terms of functionality this board is clearly a step above the rest. It has the option to use an external DC-adapter, 4x USB 3.0, 4x SATA600, Displayport and the option to place a mi...
Abstract: Targeting power-misers, AMD's low-energy Kabini-based APUs could easily find their way into entertainment PCs, office machines, and PoS terminals. Of course, you need a motherboard to make it a “platform” and we found three companies willing to help. Do...

Installation is easier with white pin headers. Two PCI Express x1 slots. Audio codec is better than that of some competing AM1 boards.
Inconvenient location for SATA connectors

Low cost, low power motherboards are difficult to conclude. With high end motherboards containing controllers and where we discuss performance, it is easy to rule out $20 of controller improvements for a better overclocking range. But when the whole mothe...

AM1 motherboards are a largely similar lot, but the AM1M-S2H, a MicroATX model, stands out for its pair of PCI Express x1 slots and above-average onboard-audio options. Read More…...
The Gigabyte AM1M-S2H motherboard is currently retailing online within the US for a $30~35 USD retail price, which is among the cheaper AM1 motherboards. The micro-ATX form factor might not be for everyone with these low-power, budget APUs if you're wanti...
Abstract: Кто-нибудь из вас помнит процессор VIA C3, который был выпущен более десяти лет назад? Он был разработан в основном для 86-разрядных интернет-устройств и помог развиться платформе mini-ITX, которая с восторгом была встречена сборщиками, мечтавшими о меньш...
