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?
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

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 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.
