 Now this is a product that AMD has pretty much been talking about since the ATI acquisition. This is Fusion. So let's start with who this is from. So this is an MSI product. It's the E350IA-E45. This is compatible with Windows 7. It is AMD Vision certified. It runs HDMI and apparently comes with Norton, which don't bother installing. Just download Windows, Microsoft, whatever security essentials. Okay, it's got all solid caps. Runs with SATA 6 gigabit per second as well as USB 3.0 for high speed peripherals and internals. And it has a three year warranty. And let's see, we got all solid caps. This is a military class motherboard so it should last a long time. USB safeguard. So it has an ESD protection chip. You can rest assured to stay on the safe side. With dual current protection chip static electricity, whatever that is. So you can safely plug in USB things. Okay, SATA 6 gig, 3 USB 3. M-Flash is a cool feature. It allows you to update the BIOS easily. Although this has been around for a while so I suspect they had run out of things to talk about here. Alright, although all solid capacitors, that's a great thing. This is an MITX board and it supports AMD Fusion processors. ZK, Zacati, I actually don't know. Somebody educate me. This is the E350. It has support for two DIMMs for up to DDR3 1066 up to 8 gigs max. Check it out. Yeah, yeah. One PCI Express X16 slot. So this will support full speed graphics cards. 8 channel, 7.1 audio, gigabit ethernet. 4 SATA 6 gigabit per second ports from the AMD Hudson M1. As well as 2 USB 3.0 ports, 10 USB 2.0 ports. And there's an IO overview which we won't need because we are going to open the box. Bam! Box is open. Okay, so we got a drivers and utilities DVD. Throw it away, download the latest. We got MSI talking about all their good stuff like Big Bang, Fusion, Military Class. As well as a quick installation guide which looks to unfold into about the size of a poster. Okay, we've got an IO shield which is helpfully color coordinated. Thanks for that. And then we've got a couple SATA 6 gigabit per second cables. Top quality and stability. Here's a little manual for you. In a bunch of languages. Excuse me guys, sorry. Okay, so then in our environmentally friendly cardboard packaging, we have the E350i, a E45 itself. So this is a very cool looking board. It has on it, a heatsink fan combo in the middle that is cooling the APU. So what you're going to notice immediately about this board, if you're like me and you notice these things, is that it doesn't have a chipset visible anywhere on it. So what that means is that either there's something under that heatsink, which there is, okay, so that's pretty boring, but that chipset is only handling IO. I can tell you guys that much because the CPU is actually soldered onto the board. Includes the memory controller, includes the GPU, includes the GPU. So this is Fusion, finally here. And is fully capable of playing back HD movies and all of that good stuff. You might even get a little bit of low end gaming going on on a platform like this. That's pretty cool. So let's start with the overall layout of the board, which is what we usually do with motherboards. Here on my blog, we've got our CPU, GPU and chipset all under this massive heatsink. Massive compared to the ITX board that it's taking up about a quarter of the surface area. So it's not really all that big. But then we've got our four pin CPU power connector up here. And I have no idea what the ideal location is on an ITX board. So let's assume that's pretty good. We've got a couple of headers here. We've got what appears to be three phase power design. Okay. We've got our CPU fan plugged in via three pin fan header. All right. We've got two DDR3 slots up to DDR3 1066. And then we have... Wait, really? 1066? Maybe I forget. Yeah, DDR3 1066, huh? There you go. Okay. We've got our 24 pin power over here on the right hand side. There's our four SATA 3 6 gigabit per second ports. We've got a couple front USB. We've got front panel audio. We've got... Where are our front panel connectors? Hmm. Where are those? They must be here. That must be them. Although I'm not 100% sure. No, that doesn't look like them. Where are they? Now this is audio. This is front panel. Sorry, guys. That's audio. That's front panel. Okay. So here's our PCI Express 16x connector, which I'm a little bit... Although not all that disappointed to report. It's not actually PCIe 16x. You can actually see the metal contacts in here. That only goes up to 8x. Although 8x is enough for any graphics card that's going to... You'll be able to overpower the CPU long before you're going to run into that PCIe 8x bottleneck. All right. Here we go. So we've got a combo PS2 port. Big fan of these. We've got one, two, three, four, five, six USB 2.0 ports. HDMI, VGA, gigabit ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports. Optical audio out as well as... Optical audio out as well as coaxial audio out. And 7.1 audio. Here is the CMOS battery, which is kind of glued to the I.O. panel for some reason. There's the NEC chip that's running our USB 3.0 ports. And gee, I guess that's all there is to really say about it. It's revolutionary actually. It doesn't look like much. It just looks like, you know, another MITX board. A pretty slick looking one, but this could change everything.
