The Asus M4A88T-M supports onboard graphics.
SATA 2.0 is a very common standard, and despite the emergence of SATA 3.0 - whose potential is difficult to reach currently - SATA 2.0 remains a viable option. These allow for data speeds of up to 3GB/s. The Asus M4A88T-M has 6 SATA 2.0 hard drive slots. Its size comes at the cost of features, so there are likely to be far fewer connections and expansion options available than in a larger motherboard. The Micro-ATX Asus M4A88T-M should fit into all ATX cases, but its smaller size allows you to downsize your system build as a whole. It uses the DDR3 memory type, with maximum speeds of up to 1866 MHz, and 4 DDR3 slots allowing for a maximum total of 16 GB RAM. Any compatible AMD CPU will have the same socket entry. We were a little disappointed not to find a ‘Q-connector' in the box like the other two motherboards as this made installation a lot more hassle free.The Asus M4A88T-M uses the AMD Socket AM3 CPU socket. These include two SATA cables, a selection of installation manuals, an IDE cable and a software CD. Inside the box we find all the accessories we would usually expect. Turning the box over reveals more detail about the features and specifications of the board inside. The front is decorated with various different logos which elude to some of the boards' features. Like the other two AMD motherboards from Asus we've looked at recently, the M4A88T-M is supplied in a lime green box that only differs in size from the other two. 6x SATA 3GB/s ports with RAID 0, 1, 10 and JBOD (O.C.) / 1333 / 1066 MHz, ECC and non-ECC, un-buffered memory There is a USB 3.0 version of the board available but we have the non-USB3.0 version here to review.Īthlon II / Sempron 11 series Processors (up to 140W) The most significant feature that the M4A88T-M lacks compared to the other boards is USB 3.0 support. Today we are going to look at the M4A88T-M motherboard which offers a similar feature set to the other two boards we've tested but in a micro-ATX form factor. We have recently looked at two impressive AMD motherboards from Asus which performed well in our tests and offered great feature sets and build quality.
