|  |  |  | Genesi has revided the specifications for the EFIKA 5k2 tiny motherboard. The PCI slot has been exchanged in favour of AGP. This would mean that no graphics chip will be added and the cost will be kept to a minimum.
The price-tag may stay at 299 USD and possibly 199 USD with high-volume partners.
