790Fx board ooks like a revamped K9A2-P with better mostfet/pwm/Vr section an sb750, add big buttons like asus buttons, angled sata.
it's got the same basic lay out.
wonder when Nvidia will get on board with this N880A or NGTXA ? lol

im wondering why they are putting the nb next to the mosfets on these am3 boards. i have seen multiple boards have this.
cheaper cooling?
Its the 790FX chipset.
790FX can support PCI-E 2.0 x16 in 2 ports simultaneously, and if you run 3 you will get x16 + x8 + x8 or with 4 ports, x8 + x8 + x8 + x8. Now PCI-E 2.0 x8 is effectivly PCI-E 1.1 x16.
The 790GX chipset only supports PCI-E 2.0 x16 in 1 port, so in crossfire you will get x8 + x8 on each.
Now I will wait for an upgrade. NB890 will support 4 PCI-E 2.0 x16 for Crossfire X, and SB800 will have enhanced ACC functions so these 790FX/SB750 AM3 boards isn't something I can say i look forward too.
The MSI site has been updated to add these boards.

The GD-70 looks great but I will wait and see what DFI bring out, anyway I will only move to AM3 in 2010 if this recession starts to bite.
