FOXCONN introduces three mainboards with AMD A690 chipset

It appears that German journalists are a little bit faster then their English counterparts. Like the folks at MSI the guys at Global FOXCONN department are a bit slow in posting press news. But we still have the brave Germans at FOXCONN who post tidbits sometimes. So they did this time announcing three new mATX-sized motherboards for the Socket AM2. All of them feature the integrated ATI Radeon X1250 graphics solution and a single PCIe x16 slot just in case you want to upgrade. They will be available soon.

::hurls:: I Agree KTR. Either got Blue and Red or Red and Yellow or hell, even Blue and Yellow, but not all three.

As if normal people would stare at their mainboard for any longer as it takes to build the machine. Me, I'm looking at my LCD

I agree with Jada. My ECS is horribly ugly, but it's in the case, so I don't care. Out of sight, out of mind.

Sometimes these hideous color schemes are of help. Imagine a helpdesk buddy checking on some important computer parts while the customer is on the phone...
