Emaxx EMX-A75GM-iCafe Motherboard - No Warranty

Support AMD® socket FM1 for A series & E series APU (accelerated processing unit) AMD A75 Chipset Dual Channel DDR3 1600/1333/1066 Realtek ALC661 6-Channel HD Audio Codec The Emaxx EMX-A75GM-iCafe uses the AMD Socket FM1 CPU socket. Any compatible AMD CPU will have the same socket entry. It uses the DDR3 memory type, with maximum speeds of up to 1600 MHz, and 2 DDR3 slots allowing for a maximum total of 16 GB RAM. The Micro-ATX Emaxx EMX-A75GM-iCafe should fit into all ATX cases, but its smaller size allows you to downsize your system build as a whole. Its size comes at the cost of features, so there are likely to be far fewer connections and expansion options available than in a larger motherboard. The Emaxx EMX-A75GM-iCafe has 4 SATA 2.0 hard drive slots. These allow for data speeds of up to 3GB/s. SATA 2.0 is a very common standard, and despite the emergence of SATA 3.0 - whose potential is difficult to reach currently - SATA 2.0 remains a viable option. The Emaxx EMX-A75GM-iCafe supports onboard graphics. This allows for integrated graphics when paired with a compatible CPU that supports them. Integrated graphics are a cheap alternative to using a graphics card, but should be avoided when frequently using modern applications or games that require intense graphical processing. There are 0 PCIe x16 slots on this motherboard. The Emaxx EMX-A75GM-iCafe does not support multiple graphics cards via Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire. The Emaxx EMX-A75GM-iCafe has 8 USB 2.0 slots but no USB 3.0 slots. While USB 3.0 slots are so far by no means necessary, and with a plethora of USB 2.0 peripherals to choose from, the USB functionality on this motherboard should be fine. If planning on building a new system, a motherboard with USB 3.0 is likely to have a longer life cycle, however.
