It wasn’t long ago that we took our first look at the AOpen i915GMm-HFS which was the first Pentium M board based on the new 915GM chipset to arrive at TrustedReviews. The attraction of running a Pentium M in a desktop PC is that it offers much of the performance you need for everyday applications with the potential for a virtually noise free system. The downside is that only a limited number of chips are available and they tend to be on the expensive side.
Now MSI is following suit with the 915GM Speedster-FA4, a much simpler board but also a lot more affordable. Unlike the AOpen board, which was designed with multimedia in mind, the 915GM Speedster was designed by MSI’s server group, which explains some of the differences between the two boards.
