Mini-ITX Motherboards with AM2/AM2+ Socket

Thursday Nov 13, 2008

For some time, I have been wanting to provide an up to date list of the Mini-ITX motherboards available on the market.

This post is the first of a series, starting with the comparison of the Mini-ITX motherboards with AM2/AM2+ socket.

There are currently 7 boards available:

  • Albatron KI690-AM2
  • Albatron KI780G
  • J&W MINIX 780G-SP128MB
  • Jetway NC81-LF (JNC81-LF)
  • Jetway NC62K (JNC62K)
  • Magic Pro MP-NC81
  • Magic Pro MP-NC62K-LF

As some of the Mini-ITX motherboards share the same specifications (OEM versions under different names), I have grouped the boards in the table below to keep it simple.

Albatron KI690-AM2 J&W MINIX 780G-SP128MB / Albatron KI780G Jetway NC81-LF (JNC81-LF) / Magic Pro MP-NC81 Jetway NC62K (JNC62K) / Magic Pro MP-NC62K-LF
