MSI enters the Pentium M desktop market?

[vegeta]

I found something new on eBay?

Is this for real? It seems like it is a P-M CPU and it has a P4 retention bracket :D.
I looked at the official MSI site/google and haven't found any info of this board :s

yes its real :o

might be nice :D
Kinda depends on how it oC's.... the similar board from Aopen is cr*p and overpriced!

But this one doesn't have those nice outputs :D. I have to agree the i915gmm is the worst P-M board I've played with till now :S. Then again the board is aimed to HTPC users :slap:

[Lithan]

Will the board support the Dual core mobiles when they come out?

[rivers]

This is good, more p-M mobos, more competition, and maybe less *absurd* prices.

NICE! Finally a 915 board from a respected manufacturer!

I want abit or DFI to make a 915, though, that would be nice

[Jericho]

Ill let other ppl test it before I get too excited :)

'IF' DFI ever thought the market was there, they would make one.

I think the reason why these boards are expensive is the releatively low volume and Intels chipset prices (to stop it from competing with desktop).

Fugger said a long time ago that they were supposed to have one in the works...or maybe it was a lanparty version of the 855, dont remember.

The board is not crap, I own it and use it every day. It overclocks reasonably well. The cost is $285 on Computer HQ and it is a very high quality product. It is an awesome HTPC. The only downside is the non-standard holes that mount a throw-away heatsink and fan. With a 715 1.5ghz chip I have dialed up 2490mhz using 667mhz ddr2 memory.

The board has every feature that I want especially PCI express and SATA I & II.

The 915 chipsets were too expensive, now they lowered the price to $80. I think that affordable boards are going to be on the horizon.

I have it too, but compared to i855gmem-lfs, the i915 oc's like crap.
No divider to chose (only the in DDR2 mode), no pci/pci-e lock.
And everything above 166fsb, I lose my sata.

If you have a refrence i855 and asus+ct479 combo you have higher expectations.
