Socket AM2/AM2+ Micro ATX motherboard

The MSI KA780GM2 is a micro ATX board built on the AMD 780G chipset and equipped with a Socket AM2/AM2+ interface. It accepts AMD Phenom, Athlon and Sempron processors and provides dual-channel DDR2 memory support at 667, 800 or 1066 speeds up to a maximum of 4GB. Integrated graphics and Realtek ALC888 8-channel audio are included on board.

Suitable for legacy AMD system repairs

This board suits technicians restoring or maintaining Socket AM2/AM2+ systems that require integrated graphics and DDR2 memory. It is not appropriate for builds needing newer CPU sockets, higher memory capacities or modern storage interfaces.

Dual-channel DDR2 up to 4GB

The memory subsystem is limited to dual-channel DDR2 with a 4GB ceiling, so the decision rests on whether the intended system can operate within that constraint. If the workload demands more memory or a different memory type, another platform must be selected.

Questions about this item

What comes in the package and what must I source separately?

The package includes the motherboard, a CMOS battery, one SATA cable and a chassis I/O back panel. You must buy the AM2/AM2+ processor, DDR2 memory modules, storage drives and a case separately.

Which DDR2 speed grade should I choose for this board?

The board supports dual-channel DDR2 at 667, 800 or 1066 MT/s with a maximum of 4 GB. Pick the highest speed your budget allows for best bandwidth.

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

The slot runs at PCI Express 2.0 x16, so a modern card will work but will be limited to 2.0 bandwidth rather than newer 3.0 or 4.0 speeds.
