Foxconn A690GM2MA (its full name is A690GM2MA-8KRS2H; we are always amazed by the creativity of motherboard manufacturers) is a socket AM2 motherboard with on-board video based on the latest chipset from AMD/ATI, AMD 690G, also known by its codename RS690.

There're some deficits regarding overclocking, but this shouldn't be essential to build a HTPC. All strengths and weaknesses of the new A690GM2MA-8KRS2H motherboard are shown in the following test report ...
