Memory
|
- Dual channel memory architecture
- Four DDR3 DIMM (240-pin) sockets
- Supported DIMM types:
- PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
- PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
- Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered
- Supports 4GB DDR3 DIMMs
- Supports up to 16 GB on 64-bit PCs
- Supports up to 4 GB* on 32-bit PCs
NOTE: * 32-bit operating PCs cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.Due to AMD limitation, DDR3-1333 modules will run at 1066 MHz if three or more modules are installed.

Expansion slots
|
- One PCI Express x16 graphics (for a graphics card)
- Two PCI Express x1 (for cards such as network, sound, tv-tuner)
- One PCI slot
- One PCI Express x1 minicard socket
|
Video graphics
|
- Up to 256MB dedicated (dynamic memory as allocated by Vista)
- Integrated graphics using nVidia GeForce 9100.
- Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards.
NOTE: Either integrated graphics or the PCI Express x16 slot are usable at one time; they are not usable concurrently.
- Integrated graphics: concurrent use of the the DVI and VGA ports is supported.
|
Serial ATA
|
- Supports 1 SATA-150 or SATA-300 disk drive on each SATA connector
- Speed up to 3.0Gb/sec or 1.5Gb/sec, complying with SATA 2.0 and SATA 1.0 specifications
NOTE: The faster rate of 3.0Gb/sec requires that both the hard drive and the motherboard support it. If one or the other does not support 3.0 Gb/sec, the PC negotiates down to the slower 1.5 Gb/sec.
