This is used to inform the user about current power consumption through the 24-pin connector and it can also, therefore, more accurately inform about the level of power-consumption reduction achieved when the board's power-saving technology is enabled. This works in conjunction with the BIOS and provides power-usage information to a section in the BIOS and to the supplied GreenPower Centre software. In terms of bundled accessories, apart from the Creative X-Fi card, there's the D-LED 2 OLED postcode and multi-function display - the one shown above is a pre-production form without the proper casing - you also get an interesting gadget called MSI GreenPower Genie. You get the usual drivers and motherboard utilities for both Windows XP and Vista on separate discs, along with the drivers and utilities for the supplied Creative soundcard, but other than that you only receive MSI's own HDD-imaging software on the separate disc labelled MSI Extras.
On the software front, things aren't quite so generous.
