If planning on building a new system, a motherboard with USB 3.0 is likely to have a longer life cycle, however.All information provided is subject to change at any time, without notice. While USB 3.0 slots are so far by no means necessary, and with a plethora of USB 2.0 peripherals to choose from, the USB functionality on this motherboard should be fine. The DG43NB has 12 USB 2.0 slots but no USB 3.0 slots. The DG43NB does not support multiple graphics cards via Nvidia SLI or AMD Crossfire. This means it is perfectly capable of accommodating the latest graphics cards, although it is important to try and use a graphics card with the same graphics card interface of Not sure, as anything below will not reach the motherboard's potential, and anything above will have its performance slashed to the bandwidth maximum of the DG43NB's Not sure. There are 1 PCIe x16 slots on this motherboard. Integrated graphics are a cheap alternative to using a graphics card, but should be avoided when frequently using modern applications or games that require intense graphical processing. This allows for integrated graphics when paired with a compatible CPU that supports them. SATA 2.0 is a very common standard, and despite the emergence of SATA 3.0 - whose potential is difficult to reach currently - SATA 2.0 remains a viable option. These allow for data speeds of up to 3GB/s. The DG43NB has 6 SATA 2.0 hard drive slots. ATX is the most common form factor, and as such has a high degree of compatibility with other components while providing a decent number of slots to widen your expansion options. DDR2 memory is exceptionally out of date, and considering how cheap DDR3 RAM is, using a motherboard with only DDR2 compatibility in a modern system build would be a very bad idea.Ĭonforming to the ATX standard, the DG43NB should fit into the majority of cases. It uses the aging DDR2 memory type, with maximum speeds of up to 800 MHz, and 2 DDR2 slots allowing for a maximum total of 4 GB RAM. Any compatible Intel CPU will have the same socket entry. The DG43NB uses the Intel LGA 775/ Socket T CPU socket.
