[cristic]

I don't know if this is news but anyway here it goes...

Taipei - Via announced the availability of the first PCI Express chipset for the Athlon 64 and Opteron, and upcoming Sempron platform. The K8T890 comes with asynchronous bus architecture, implementation of HyperTransport and single PCI Express x16 graphics support.

I'll only consider it if it has nVidia SLI support. Seriously.

sounds good to me .

I just hope nvidia doesn't try and make the dual peg boards that support sli exclusive to the nforce 4 .

Is it me or does 1gb/s seem like not that much between north & south bridges?
I mean, its nothing to be sneezed at but with drives, gigabit ethernet, audio, USB & 2 PCI express lanes, it ought to be fairly easily saturated no?
