ASUS M4N78 PRO AM3/AM2+/AM2 8300 NO I/O

ASUS M4N78 Pro AM3/AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8300 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard supports AMD AMD Socket AM2+ multi-core processors with unique L3 cache and delivers better overclocking capabilities with less power consumption. It features dual-channel DDR2 1066 memory support and accelerates data transfer rate up to 5200MT/s via HyperTransport 3.0 based system bus. Its NVIDIA GeForce 8300 offers the latest support of Hybrid SLI Technology, DirectX 10 graphics features, HD video playback with VGA/HDMI/DVI output. It also supports HyperTransport 3.0 interface, PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, Serial ATA 3 Gb/s devices and is optimized with AMD’s latest AM2+ and multi-core CPUs to provide excellent system performance.

* Please Note: This is an OEM motherboard and it does not come with rear I/O shield also known as back-plate cover; this part is not needed and you can still install the board in standard ATX case.
