MSI Hammer mobo (look at the ........)

[Deviant]

Check out these MSI Mobos for the Hammer, what struck me was that there is no lugs on the ZIF socket 754 for for a HSF, but 2 bllody big holes spread wide apart. No caps near the socket so it must be designed for a bloody BIG HSF.

On the second red mobo, you can clearly see the outline of wher the HSF's are meant to go.

[Grrr!!]

I can't read Japanese :(

That first (green) mobo has a strange placing of the AGP slot. :p

Socket 754??? Does that mean they aren't backwards compatible :(

**** that thing is getting a big heatsink! :eek:

Why are these boards so tidy / empty :confused:

Cause most of the Northbridge is integrated on board the Hammer, big savings on Mobo design, cost and better performance.
