Gigabyte Ready with GA-890GPA-UD3H Motherboard
Gigabyte is ready with its first motherboard based on the AMD 890GX + SB800 chipset. The GA-890GPA-UD3H supports socket AM3 AMD Athlon II and Phenom II series processors, including support for AMD's upcoming six-core processors. The CPU is powered by a 5-phase VRM, it is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots to support dual-channel memory with speeds of over DDR3-1866 MHz by overclocking. The AMD 890GX northbridge embeds a faster DirectX 10.1 compliant integrated graphics with display connectivity including DVI, D-Sub, and HDMI (with 7.1 audio pass).
Expansion slots include two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 (electrical x8/x8 when both are populated), three PCI-E x1, and two PCI. The new SB800 southbridge gives out six SATA 6 Gb/s ports. An additional Gigabyte GSATA2 controller gives out two SATA 3 Gb/s ports and an IDE connector. An NEC-made USB 3.0 controller further provides two external USB 3.0 ports (color-coded blue), next to a number of USB 2.0 ports. 8-channel audio with Dolby Home Theater support, and gigabit LAN make for the rest of it. The board seems to make use of the Ultra Durable 3 Classic construction. Expect the board to be out later this year.

The 790FX chipset can push ddr3 speeds just fine, I can take this 1600mhz GSkill kit to 1821 if I try, its what I had when I first started messing around
Meaning it's not a 4200, but maybe something similar to or like a 4350, but it's not a 5xxx as it's not DX11. Which is lame, although I'm sure 3 - 4 months down the road well have like the 895w/e and it will have a 5xxx, why in gods name can't AMD just put all the features in 1 chipset and give us 1 or 2 a year rather than 3-5 every damn year.:shadedshu
