For a long time, it appeared that we were living in a generation where it was better to have more, than use something efficiently. We saw this in automobiles, more people were driving large SUVs than smaller more efficient compact cars. However, in recent times, with gasoline prices seeming to be on the constant rise, more electric cars, hybrids, and cars focused on ECO features have started emerging into the market. Does this show that there is a change not only in the economy, but in the way that our energy resources are being evaluated? In terms of efficiency, electric cars and gasoline cars cannot be compared, and while electric cars may not have the ability to travel the longer distances that gasoline cars can, they are less harmful to the environment, as well as to our wallets. In today's computing world, we are seeing the same trend. Components are becoming more efficient, yet still being able to outperform their predecessors. An excellent example of an extremely efficient ECO product is the MSI B85M ECO Micro ATX motherboard. ECO, oh great that means I am going to lose performance; not with the MSI B85M ECO Micro ATX Motherboard. They utilize an optimized PCB, to retain 100% performance while still yielding 40% power saving. This motherboard also supports all Intel Socket 1150 CPUs, and is optimized for Intel S and T series power efficient CPUs. It supports 32GB of DDR3 ram up to 1600MHZ in dual channel, USB 3.0 plus SATA 6GB/s, Intel Gigabit LAN, and 4K UHD. The Military Class 4 components, paired with the Guard-Pro, and Click BIOS 4, give you the stability, reliability, and flexibility you need in your motherboard. The MSI B85M is also TUV certified, has an onboard ECO button, as well as MSI's ECO Center Pro software, to optimize the ECO functionality of this motherboard. MSI has also offered the Intel Small Business Advantage functionality, as well as DVI, VGA, and HDMI video output, plus flexible 8 channel audio output with jack sensing, utilizing the ALC887 Realtek integrated chip.
