New MSI Micro-ATX Released, Supports Intel Core CPUs

PCI Express 3.0 x16, USB 3.0 and dual-channel DDR3 RAM (random access memory) are inherently supported by the Intel B75 chipset, which gives even the weakest of motherboards a lot of potential, if built properly.

The entry-level B75MA-G43 motherboard from Micro-Star International definitely does all it can to live up to that potential. Though priced at $60 / 46.41 Euro, is still has everything mentioned above, as well as a PCI Expres 2.0 x16 slot, four USB 3.0 ports, a SATA 6.0 Gbps connector, five SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, Gigabit Ethernet, some USB 2.0/1.1 connectors, and three video outputs (DVI, D-Sub, and HDMI).

All Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge socket LGA 1155 processors are supported. All in all, this is a nice motherboard for regular PCs, and even gaming prowess is assured, provided a good graphics card is installed.
