by: Cristian

Arriving at the AM3 pre-launch party after Asus and Gigabyte, MSI has now presented its first AM3 motherboards, the 790FX-GD70 and 790GX-G65. Pictured below, the upcoming boards support AMD AM2 as well as the yet to be released AM3 processors, have four DDR3-1333 memory slots each and feature the APS (Active Phase Switching) technology for enhanced power conversion efficiency.

The 790FX-GD70 makes use of the 790FX + SB750 chip combo to provide four PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots (and CrossFireX support), has one eSATA and eight SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, the second-generation DrMOS, dual Gigabit Ethernet and 7.1 channel audio. Equipped with the 790GX and SB750 chips, the 790GX-G65 has two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots, DirectX 10-ready integrated graphics backed by 1Gb of DDR3 1333 MHz SidePort memory, six SATA 3.0 Gbps connectors, one Gigabit Ethernet port, an 7.1 channel audio.

Unfortunately, MSI has yet to provide a shipping date for the two motherboards but something tells us February will see them in stores.See the original posting
