This mini-ATX board measures 6.7 inches by 6.7 inches, which allows it to comfortably fit into all types of small PC cases. While it's small, it is definitely not lacking in power. The AMD Hudson-D1 FCH chipset gives the board enough juice to rival motherboards twice its size. The AMD Fusion E450 CPU helps render graphics in a much more powerful and organic way. This dedicated processor allows gamers to set up a system that can run their favorite games. The dual core system also offers a powerful processor that can provide users with the strength they need. For example, you can run several processes in the background without slowing down the computer. The CPU is soldered directly to the motherboard; this helps make installation that much easier for newcomers. The APXD1-DM uses a single-channel memory architecture that supports two 240-pin DDR3 memory sticks. How much memory this board can support depends on the type of operating system you're using. On a 32-bit system, the board will support up to 4 GB of RAM. On a 64-bit system, that number increases to 32 GB. This particular board has a slot for an integrated video card.
