DFI Details LANParty JR P45-T2RS and LANParty JR 790GX-M2RS Micro-ATX Motherboards

DFI has let loose details on its latest Intel and AMD motherboards, meant to fit in micro-ATX systems. LANParty JR P45-T2RS runs on Intel's last mainstream P45 chipset whereas LANParty JR 790GX-M2RS is powered from AMD's 790GX chipset and SB750 southbridge. Both mainboards pack a great number of extras, featuring dual x16 slots for SLI/CrossFire support depending on the platform, Digital PWM, all-solid capacitors (presented in LANParty JR P45-T2RS only), copper heatpipe chipset cooling and other neat stuff like 12 USB ports, 8 channel audio, Genie BIOS and CMOS Reload. With so much oumph, these two fellows will be greatly accepted in high-performance HTPC systems or in compact cases made for LanParty events. Pricing and availability of both motherboards are still kept in secret.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, PrudentPrincess, but Hybrid SLI != SLI. These particular motherboards just have an NVIDIA IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) and 1 PCIe (x16) slot, there's nothing special about that. When a mATX board shows up with 2 real PCIe x16 slots - preferably from Asus or DFI - that support 2 dedicated graphics cards in SLI, let me know. ;)

I was looking at this board in particular. It isn't full SLI but it still works. (16x and a 2x or something like that)

Can any of you read?
Yes, that DFI board that is pictured is using the Geforce 9300 (MCP7A-U), but there will be an MCP7A-SLI version coming out that will have dual x8 support and it's meant to looks somewhat similar to that board.
The Galaxy board is Geforce 9300 as well and as that chipset doesn't support splitting the 16 PCIe in a 2x x8 config, it can't do SLI either, at least not until they release a version based on the MPC7A-SLI, but the two chipsets should be more or less pin to pin compatible.
Besides, that picture is originally from Fudzilla as well and was from Computex earlier this year.
