XFX has announced a new motherboard based on Nvidia's Geforce 8200 chipset. Placed on a microATX form factor PCB, this motherboard packs quite a punch and looks great in black and green.

This microATX motherboard supports AMD's AM2+ quad and one-core-less-quad Phenom processors (you mean 8xxx series tri cores? Not funny, not at all... sub.ed.) as well as older AMD Athlon processors. Other features include DirectX 10 support via the integrated Geforce 8200 chipset, DDR-1066 memory support and Nvidia Hybid SLI.

The motherboard uses a heatpiped silent cooling system to cool both the chipset and the VRM. It also features a single PCI-Express x16 2.0, one PCI-Express x1 and two plain PCI slots neatly packed on a small microATX form factor board. Just so it won't be yet another boring motherboard, XFX has decided to include clear CMOS and debug LED on the rear panel, as well as the dual BIOS option.

Other noted specs include six SATA ports, Gigabit Ethernet and integrated 8-Channel HD audio. Of course, let's not forget that it features an HDMI, VGA and DVI connector.

This is how it all looks.
