AMD has release its first chipset since merging with ATI. MSI K9AGM2-FIH uses that particular chipset, ADM 690G. It is designed for AM2 and features integrated graphics. This card however does not support Crossfire and only has 2 RAM slots. Both its North Bridge and South Bridge are passively cooled which do away with the need of a third party cooler. It is possible to accommodate up to four SATA hard drive on this board. The integrated graphics will be using ATI X1250 which features all the features of ATI X1k series cards. It is considered as the fastest integrated graphic solution in the market. It will be able to handle Windows Vista Aero without any problems but it might not be able to play today’s demanding games. As expected of integrated graphics there is a limitation to it but you can upgrade to a PCIe card if there is a need to.
