AMD Motherboard

The BIOSTAR TForce 6100-939 motherboard delivers the superior performance you expect from NVIDIA for an incredible PC experience with power from the GeForce 6100 GPU and NVIDIA nForce 410 MCP. Industry-leading features including DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 and NVIDIA PureVideo capability, 6-channel onboard audio, 8 USB2.0 ports, plus massive storage capacity through the nForce 410-supported array of 4 ATA-133 and 2 SATA ports allow this adaptable card to give your AMD Socket 939 desktop system the flexibility and power it needs to conquer any task. Biostar even includes an overclock quick guide in the TForce kit - a real surprise for a Micro ATX board with integrated graphics. What's more, the available options in BIOS are a lot more than what many will expect for a Micro ATX/Integrated Graphics board, and includes an Integrated Flashing option so that you don't have to load DOS or Windows to flash the BIOS.
