Socket AM3 Micro ATX motherboard

The MSI 880GMA-E41 is a Micro ATX board built on the AMD 880G chipset for Socket AM3 processors. It accepts Phenom II X6, X4, X3, X2, Athlon II X4, X3, X2 and Sempron CPUs. Dual-channel DDR3 memory runs at 1333, 1066 or 800 MHz up to 16 GB total capacity.

PCI Express 2.0 and SATA limits

One PCI Express x16 slot operates at 2.0 x16 speed, a single PCI Express x1 slot and one 3.3 V or 5 V PCI slot provide legacy expansion. Six SATA ports deliver 3.0 Gb/s throughput each. The NEC D720200 controller adds two USB 3.0 ports, while the Realtek 8111E LAN handles 10, 100 and 1000 Mb/s links.

Realtek audio and back-panel I/O

The Realtek ALC887 codec drives 8-channel audio with Azalia 1.0 compliance. Onboard headers include the two USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit LAN, audio jacks and standard legacy connectors. A CMOS battery, one SATA cable and an I/O shield ship in the box; no other accessories are included.

Questions about this item

Which memory speed should I choose for the 16GB maximum on this board?

The board runs dual-channel DDR3 at 1333, 1066 or 800 MHz; pick the highest speed your CPU's memory controller officially supports to reach the 16 GB limit.

What does the single PCI Express x16 slot at 2.0 speed mean for a graphics card?

A modern card will work but is limited to the 2.0 bandwidth ceiling, so high-end GPUs may leave some performance on the table.

How fast are the six SATA ports and the two USB ports on the back panel?

All six SATA ports run at the SATA 6 Gb/s rate, while the two rear USB ports are driven by a NEC D720200 controller at USB 3.0 speeds.
