Introduction
Headlined in the desktop space by the hexa-core Thuban CPU that's available for £160 in the form of the Phenom II X6 1055T, AMD's backed up the new silicon with a range of 800-series chipsets.
Sitting in the middle of the range is the recently-introduced 880G - a cutdown version, in more ways than one, of the 890GX.
Featuring Radeon HD 4250-class integrated graphics and presented in a space-saving micro-ATX form factor, we take a look at MSI's 880GMA-E45.
