MSI Displays its First Wave of LGA1155 Motherboards
MSI seems to be ready with its first wave of motherboards for socket LGA1155 processors, based on the Sandy Bridge architecture. At this point the lineup is quite simply three models - P67A-GD65, the performance segment offering, the P67A-GD55, upper mid-range, and H67MA-ED55, a micro-ATX board ready for integrated graphics. All three motherboards seem to carry high-grade components such as solid chokes (that don't whine), high-C capacitors, and offer a level of overclocking headroom enhanced by OC Genie II.
The P67A-GD65 features two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 (electrical x8/x8 when both are populated), three PCI-E x1, and two PCI slots. Connectivity includes six SATA 3 Gb/s ports from the P67 PCH (of which four are internal, two eSATA), two SATA 6 Gb/s ports provided by a Marvell-made controller, and two additional SATA 3 Gb/s ports by a third-party controller; two USB 3.0 ports, 8-channel HD audio, FireWire, and gigabit Ethernet. There are several overclocker-friendly features such as consolidated voltage measure points with proper sockets to hold multimeter leads, OC Genie controls, and a heat pipe distributing heat evenly between the VRM heatsinks.
  
The P67A-GD55 uses the same exact PCB as the GD65, it's a scaled down version in terms of features. There's two less SATA 3 Gb/s ports from addon controllers, no eSATA, the voltage measure points lack that nifty socket (yet they're there, and labeled), and the two VRM heatsinks aren't connected to each other. Down the line is the H67MA-ED55. This board is based on the H67 chipset, and hence supports Intel Flexible Display Interface (FDI). Display connectivity includes DVI, D-Sub, and HDMI. As far as other components go, there are four SATA 3 Gb/s and two SATA 6 Gb/s, two PCI-Express x16 slots (electrical x16, x4), two PCI-E x1, USB 3.0 ports, FireWire, and a number of USB 2.0 ports. MSI's boards will be out with Intel's launch of compatible processors.

DUMB QUESSTION ALERT
Why it the more hi-perf boards have what appears to be a NB block while the pics of other boards tend to indicate there is no NB??

I am going to assume it is for looks. Plus for some reason boards without the NB h/s looks cheap to me. Maybe some will have nf200?

Here is a screenshot of the new Asus's new UEFI:

Swedes get hands-on with EFI on Intel Sandy Bridge PCs
updated 07:15 pm EDT, Thu November 4, 2010Firmware managed by new graphical interface
Following the introduction of several new motherboards designed for Intel's upcoming Sandy Bridge processors, ASUS has also demonstrated its new UEFI system and a graphical management interface. Images posted on the Swedish site SweClockers show the new UI, which has been modernized well beyond the simple keyboard-input system of BIOS firmware.
At its core, the technology is based on the Universal Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), which is an evolution of the EFI used by many systems such as Mac OS X. UEFI boots processes in parallel order, rather than sequentially, helping to reduce startup time for the operating system.
The graphical interface, which now supports mouse input, allows users to adjust overclocking controls with several sliders, while shuffling the boot-drive icons changes their startup order. The interface also presents visual indications of the CPU temperature, fan speed, and voltage.
Sandy Bridge processors are expected to begin arriving on the market in January. ASUS will ship its latest motherboards around the same time.

Wonder what coding they are using. Would be awesome to see them using a Linux kernel or something so we can have a larger selection of modified BIOS es
