New Micro-ATX MSI Motherboard Has an Integrated CPU

Micro-Star International has been working on one of those motherboards that are part of the reason why people thought Intel and AMD would stop making normal CPUs.

Like AMD's Eyefinity technology, NVIDIA's 3-display 3D Vision surround is normally advertised as a means to enrich the gaming experience. Seldom is any other use touched upon.

Odd Mini-ITX Motherboard with Just Two SATA Ports Released by MSI

We suppose that a mini-ITX motherboard will go in a small form factor case and, thus, there won't be room for many storage devices in the system anyway. When looking at it like that, the existence of only two SATA ports, for HDDs, SSDs or HHDs, is not such a great restriction. On the other hand, SATA ports are...

With Battery-powered All-in-One PCs and Surf Slider convertible devices, it is obvious that all companies involved in the Windows 8 product launch are trying to stand out somehow.
