In the mATX form factor will appear Intel DH55HC - a board with one PCIe x16 slot, two PCIe x1 and one PCI, four SATA, two eSATA, 6-channel audio codec and as many as 11 USB 2.0 ports (6 + 5). Estimated cost - less than $ 100.
Let me remind you that Intel H55 is a chipset for the CPU Core i3 and i5 with the core Clarkdale. The appearance of these processors is scheduled for the first quarter of 2010 and they will be the first versions of desktop CPUs with an integrated graphics processor. The expected performance is supposed to correspond to the AMD HD 4200 GPU integrated into the AMD 785G chipset (an example of the tests can be found here ).
