Good MOBO from MSIStrengths: HDMI support, integrated graphics, Gigabit ethernet connector, 7 channel integrated sound, AMD 690G chipset, small form factor. Weakness: Only 2 memory slots but they support up to 4GB of DDR2 800 memory. This MSI motherboard has support for HDMI (high definition media interface). This is essential for Hi-Def connections. Although this MOBO is not suitable for the extreme gamer, if you're looking to put together a media centre PC, this is a perfect board. Not only are the integrated graphics - which can be upgraded at a later date using the PCI connector - and HDMI fine for such a purpose, this motherboard uses passive cooling. With fewer fans than is generally the case, the motherboard generates considerably less noise. I recommend it! 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Great HTPC HMDI MotherboardStrengths: HDMI connection Weakness: Only 2 memory slots Onboard HDMI great for HTPC. Gigabit LAN, Firewire and Firewire header, 10 USB, 4 SATA ports. No Chipset Fans. Silent. Everything you need for a HTPC motherboard except digital coax or optical out for the sound. This is taken care by the HDMI connection. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

Great deal for MSI motherboardStrengths: On board HDMI, Gb Lan, Rear Firewire + Firewire header, 10 USB, SATA RAID Weakness: MSI LiveUpdate does not yet work properly with Vista. First, this motherboard has 690G chip, it's a good integrate chip. And if you want to build a home theater computer, it's a good choice. The price is a little bit higher but it's worthy. So I recommend this MSI K9AGM2-FIH. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Decent features for Media center
Strengths: HDMI and Component out
Weakness: SPDIF connector not included and only 2 RAM slots
This board is fairly decent for the media center setup. The onboard video is perfect for a media center including HDMI and component/S-video out right out of the box. This board was not meant for extreem gaming, but that could be accomplished by using the PCI-X expansion board. The downsides were that they didn't include a $10 SPDIF connector in the box as it is an option. That bracket is very hard to come by and you have to contact MSI support directly.
