MSI makes all sorts of gear today from netbook and notebook computers to mainboards, video cards and other components. Today MSI unveiled a first for the mainboard world with a new mainboard that will make gamers very happy.

The mainboard is called the MSI Big Bang. The board uses a Lucid Hydra 200 real-time distributed processing engine to serve as an intelligent graphics load balancer. That means that the Intel P55 based mainboard supports any video card.

The best part is that not only can you choose to use ATI or NVIDIA cards with the board, but you can use one ATI card and one NVIDIA card at the same time. You can also mix and match video card models as well and still get the added performance of multiple cards. The board will feature three PCI slots and will be in stores in time for the holiday season.
