Puget Systems Description

This microATX motherboard supports modern AMD socket AM3 and AM3+ processors (codenamed Bulldozer). It provides a rich feature set including integrated ATI Radeon 4250 graphics, both analog and digital audio output, and technologies like SATA 3 (6Gb/s) and USB 3.0. Being a smaller motherboard it is somewhat limited on expansion slots, but in trade is more affordable and can fit in cases with a smaller footprint.


Puget Systems Professional Advice
William George (Customer Service) Says:
This is a great board for a price-conscious home theater build: it is small (MicroATX), has good built-in graphics (which - unlike Intel's current lineup - will work with any AMD processor), and sports the latest connectivity options: HDMI output, USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps to name a few.
