Micro-Star International, better known as MSI, announced the launch of a new line of Intel ready desktop mainboards, the P6NGM series that come equipped and powered by the next generation of Nvidia MCP73 series of chipsets as well as the integrated GeForce 7 graphics processing solutions. The entire new range of MSI P6NGM mainboards also comes with an integrated HDMI interface for the best multimedia experience possible.

The MSI product line offerings based on the Nvidia MCP73 chipset will include at least four mainboards that will span across the entire performance board and range from the high end GeForce 7150 and nForce 630i combo to the entry level GeForce 7050 and nForce 610i powered solution. Thanks to the integrated last generation Nvidia chipsets for Intel compatible mainboards, the new range of MSI products are ready for Intel central processing units running at a frontside bus speed of 1333MHz.

Apart from the high speed FSB, the new MSI mainboards also bring the HDMI interface as a premiere to the Intel compatible range of products and - according to the manufacturer - the combination between the graphics unit powered by the GeForce 7150 IGP and the fast nForce 630i chipset alongside the analog D-sub is able to deliver a complete video solution for multimedia usage.

On the technical hardware specifications side, the MSI P6NGM series of mainboards are offering integrated and native support for Intel LGA 775 central processing units from the Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Duo processors that use a frontside bus speed between 533Mhz and 1333Mhz. The DDR2 random access memory sub-system is capable of accommodating memory modules that operate at clock frequencies between 533Mhz and 800Mhz, while the expansion slots present are compatible with the PCI Express x16 and the x1 protocols.

On the storage side of the fence, the new MSI P6NGM series of mainboards are all coming equipped with four Serial ATA ports that support advanced RAID configurations as well as an integrated high definition audio processing unit and a Gigabit wired LAN connection.
