ASUS M4A89GTD Pro / USB3 Motherboard Pictured
ASUS seems to be ready with one of its first motherboards based on the AMD 890GX chipset. This socket AM3 series of motherboards seems to come in two variants: M4A89GTD Pro and M4A89GTD Pro USB3 (with the latter having support for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connectivity. An early development version of this motherboard was displayed at this year's CES event. Fresh pictures show a production-grade model, complete with chipset and VRM cooling, as well as a box design.
The M4A89GTD Pro / USB3 is a socket AM3 motherboard with a 10-phase CPU VRM supporting future AMD CPUs with 140W TDP, 2-phase memory VRM powering the four DDR3 DIMM slots, AMD 890GX chipset with faster DirectX 10.1 compliant graphics, and AMD SB800 southbridge. The SB800 provides six SATA 6 Gb/s ports, while an additional JMicron-made controller gives out the IDE connector (and possibly the lone eSATA port). Expansion slots include two PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots (x8/x8 when both are populated), two PCI, and one each of PCI-E x1 and PCI-E x4. Connectivity includes 8+2 channel HD audio with optical SPDIF output, gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 ports (on the USB3 variant), FireWire, and display connectivity including DVI, D-Sub, and HDMI. The M4A89GTD Pro / USB3 is expected to be launched a little ahead of AMD's launch of its six-core Phenom II X6 processors.

GIEF!!!!!!!!
that board, new PIIx6, and one of the new corsair ssds:D
but it will still be one nice board i'd say, but why why why why do they still put on IDE connectors :banghead: i mean, people get over your old IDE drives, it is not expensive to buy a DVD that is sata for gods sake, sorry, had to say it
^Just turn that switch with the system powered down.
B: Dont make useless posts either - what does "it is time" mean? How is it relevant to the news?
C: No, they don't. at least not in desktop parts.

Oh dear, you think DDR3 means triple channel? sorry to say buddy, it doesnt. Your own link even says it doesnt.
DDR3 and triple channel have nothing in common, except that intel uses DDR3 for triple channel on its x58 motherboards.
