Back in November 2004 we previewed ATI’s first foray into the AMD performance market, this product was the Radeon Xpress 200 and the motherboard series showed a great deal of promise in both system and graphics benchmarks. ATI’s next real...
It’s not often when receiving motherboards based on a reasonably new chipset that we receive samples which are ultimately so different. The standard procedure is for companies to include as many features as they can in the hope that it will attract...

Even though the Radeon X1250 constitutes the fastest on-board graphics weve seen, it isnt a serious rival to a proper graphics card. The K9AGM2s other features - HDMI output, Avivo video and high-resolution abilities - are far more noteworthy, and m...

Ever since AMD bought ATI, weve been waiting to see what could be achieved by combining the minds of these two juggernauts. The first offering comes in the form of a new chipset: the 690. This comes in two flavours - the cut-down 690V and the more e...
Aimed very much at the media centre crowd, this motherboard has the features and the passive cooling to make it a hit in the living room. The popularity of media centre systems looks likely to increase in the future, and the 690G chipset could be beau...

AMD introduces its first integrated chipset, and with generally impressive results - but which board do you buy? AMD has always claimed its open-platform philosophy (where all chipset makers are invited to support AMD processors) encourages healthy co...

It has now been nearly 12 months on since ATI and AMD made the big move to become one company and so far things have not been as rosy as AMD would have liked. AMD has not been able to come up with a new processor technology to combat Core 2, and it is...
AMD has finally got a chipset that the market can really look towards for their platforms, AMD has never wanted to be part of the chipset game, but that has been because they never had the resources to put to the task.Lately AMD has had a lot of quest...

HDMI seems to be the buzz word along with high-definition and this combination of technologies is certainly the right step forward by providing us with unadulterated sound and picture quality. In the PC world, MSI is definitely taking HDMI connectivity...
The K9AGM2 is best suited for an HTPC setup- especially with its HDMI interface that is pretty much a standard on most high definition displays. Using a low profile chassis along the size of 1U or 2U racks, such as Silverstone’s cccc, it would certa...

Ive extolled the many features and benefits of AMDs 690 chipset, and have gone on at length about why its such a cool platform for a computer: it draws almost no power, uses silent, passive cooling, has exceptional video-out (and unparalleled video a...

The K9AGM2-FIH does have a couple of things working for it, but theyre both stock features of all MSI products: MSI Update and the fan regulation. With them out of the equation, youre left with a motherboard without a bundle, a poor layout, and few f...

Last time we reviewed a 690G chipset Mainboard, it was the Sapphire PI-AM2RS690MHD HDMI, which turned out to be a good performer but at a high price. Today we have another motherboard that sports the same AMD 690G chipset and all the bells and whistles...
Good build, Feature rich, Capability to support 10 USB ports, 4 SATA II ports, HDMI, 8 channel sound, Value For Money, Decent onboard display, Stable board.
USB and FireWire brakcets not included in the bundle, Only two memory slots, Only one IDE Channel.
As you see in the benchmark results and the performance graphs, both the AMD 690G-based boards perform at par in most of the benchmarks. Since weve already proved the might of the AMD 690G over the Nvidia 6150 chipset, lets not talk about that eithe...

Aimed squarely at the HTPC market, MSIs latest features the AMD/ATI 690G chipset and is the first motherboard to offer integrated HDMI.
The MSI K9AGM2-FIH motherboard had a good showing from a few areas today, but it is not without some shortcomings. That being said, anyone looking to build a HTPC would be well advised to give the MSI K9AGM2-FIH some consideration. For us, the main se...

If you're looking to build a media centre system, or HTPC as they like to call them in the US, you've generally had to use a dedicated graphics card if you wanted to hook up to a display digitally. Intel, for its own reasons has never offered integrated s...

There's no doubt that it's been a long while since we reviewed an EPIA board. VIA has gone from strength to strength with its mini-ITX line of motherboards that have arguably owned the consumer industry in its five years of existence. Despite the pat...
I've tried but I can't fathom why someone would buy the EPIA EX 15000G board over an alternative home theatre solution like the 690G system we've shown here. The only scenarios I can see this being used in is if you intend to do very little and are abs...

After quite a long while after the merger of ATI by AMD, the latter presented a new series of integrated chipsets 690G/V with the integrated graphic core Radeon X1250/X1200. This graphic core is the somewhat modified Radeon Xpress 1150 core. This means...
