I built my sister a system back in 2003, using an ASUS TUSI-M motherboard and a very small profile case. The case can accommodate a motherboard that is no larger than the TUSI-M, which is (7.0" x 9.6") (178mm x 244mm).

I am looking for an AM2 motherboard to replace the old board (have the CPU, memory and all other components) to upgrade the system. I cannot find a motherboard that is this size!!!

Anyone know of a motherboard (7.0" x 9.6") (178mm x 244mm)??

Thanks for teh recommendations guys!!!!!

Zotac GF6100-B-E AM2+ NVIDIA GeForce 6100

Zotac brochure says 244mm x 176mm

Zotac user manual says 9.6 in. x 7.0 in.


Jetway JM26GT4 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100

Jetway user manual says 244mm x 180mm (9.6 in. x 7.08 in)


ASRock N68PV-GS AM2+ NVIDIA GeForce 7050

ASRock website says 244 mm x 183 mm (9.6-in x 7.2-in) , which is a tad over.


Keep in mind these boards are limited to 89W or 95W TDP, though I would recommend that you stay below 89W, given the compact chassis you describe (e.g. no more than 65W TDP). The Zotac and ASRock boards officially support AM2+. While AM2+ models up to 89W TDP "passed" basic testing according to Jetway CPU support docs, since the board was not specifically designed for AM2+, Jetway won't give its "official" blessing (it says 'not recommended').
