Bit-Tech has details of MSI’s new Socket 939 motherboard with integrated graphics for the AMD platform. This is based on the micro-BTX form factor and features NVIDIA’s upcoming C51 chipset – which Bit-Tech have dubbed the east and west bridges:
NVIDIA have implemented GeForce 6200 graphics in to the west bridge, while the east bridge is the same chip as the southbridge included on the NForce 4 SLI Intel Edition platform. There is support for up to 4GB of DDR memory, in single channel only for now; the Realtek AC’97 audio codec; two SATA II ports and four SATA ports.
Finally, there is only one Ethernet connection, which is only a 10/100 port, and support for only six USB 2.0 ports. We find this interesting, because natively NVIDIA’s NForce 4 MCP has had support for Gigabit Ethernet and ten USB 2.0 ports from top to bottom – we could see the C51G chipset being a slightly cut down version of the NForce 4 MCP, in order to allow for the additional space required on the die for the onboard GeForce 6200 graphics chip.
