AMD AM1 M-Series ATX Motherboard with HDMI & D-sub

The Gigabyte GA-AM1M-S2H is a microATX motherboard designed for AMD AM1 processors, specifically supporting the AMD Athlon and Sempron series APUs. It is built around the FS1b socket, which is compatible with a range of entry-level AMD processors. This motherboard is ideal for users looking to build a budget-friendly system for basic computing tasks, light multimedia use, or as a secondary machine.

The motherboard features two DDR3 memory slots that support up to 32 GB of system memory, with compatibility for DDR3 modules running at 1333 MHz and 1600 MHz. This provides sufficient memory capacity for most basic applications and multitasking needs. For graphics output, the GA-AM1M-S2H includes both a D-Sub (VGA) port and an HDMI port. The D-Sub port supports resolutions up to 1920x1200, while the HDMI port can handle higher resolutions up to 4096x2160, making it suitable for connecting to modern displays or projectors.

The motherboard also includes a Realtek GbE LAN chip, providing 10/100/1000 Mbit/s network connectivity. Expansion options are limited but sufficient for basic needs, with one PCIe x16 slot (running at x4) and two PCIe x1 slots. These slots allow for the addition of a graphics card or other peripherals, though performance may be constrained by the motherboard’s design and the APU’s integrated graphics capabilities.

Storage connectivity is provided through two SATA 6Gb/s ports integrated into the APU, allowing for the installation of high-speed solid-state drives or traditional hard drives. On the rear panel, there are two USB 3.0/2.0 ports and eight USB 2.0/1.1 ports, offering ample connectivity for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, and external storage devices.

Additional features include GIGABYTE Ultra Durable Technology for enhanced reliability, UEFI BIOS for easier system configuration, and On/Off Charge functionality that allows USB devices to charge even when the system is powered off. The motherboard also includes high ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection on both the LAN and USB ports to safeguard against potential damage from static electricity.
