We have recently looked at two impressive AMD motherboards from Asus which performed well in our tests and offered great feature sets and build quality. Today we are going to look at the M4A88T-M motherboard which offers a similar feature set to the other two boards we've tested but in a micro-ATX form factor.
The most significant feature that the M4A88T-M lacks compared to the other boards is USB 3.0 support. There is a USB 3.0 version of the board available but we have the non-USB3.0 version here to review.

Like the other two AMD motherboards from Asus we've looked at recently, the M4A88T-M is supplied in a lime green box that only differs in size from the other two. The front is decorated with various different logos which elude to some of the boards' features. Turning the box over reveals more detail about the features and specifications of the board inside.
Inside the box we find all the accessories we would usually expect. These include two SATA cables, a selection of installation manuals, an IDE cable and a software CD. We were a little disappointed not to find a ‘Q-connector' in the box like the other two motherboards as this made installation a lot more hassle free.
Thats pretty nice for under £60. overclocking with a sub 60 quid board wasnt expected.
Yeah I like that product myself, bargain basement price with asus quality. I dont need USB 3.0 although SATA 6gbps would have been nice.

i have had this board for over 7 months and its working great, i can play a lot of pvp games without any video card, granite graphics set on low but still for a micro atx this is a nice board
Can I connect PCIe 3.0 cards to Asus M4A88TM motherboard??
I have been using this mobo for a while and it has been ok, but you say you used all the latest bio updates, I have looked on the Asus web site and they are from 2010. Issue I have at the moment is not booting straight away and have to manually restart (on/off).
