While still working on the Hydra-equipped Big Bang Fuzion model, MSI is preparing the release of yet another P55 motherboard, the more cost-conscious P55-GD55. Pictured below, the upcoming board features support for LGA 1156 Core i5/i7 processors, 4 phase DrMOS, APS (Active Phase Switching), the OC Genie one-button overcloking feature, Winki 2.0 (instant-on OS), and four DDR3-2133 memory slots.
The P55-GD55 packs two PCI-Express x16 (CrossFireX supported, SLI yet unconfimed), six SATA 3.0 Gbps and two eSATA ports, 7.1 channel on-board audio, Gigabit Ethernet, and a Power button. This one should be released in the coming weeks priced at about 100 Euro.
