Author: Cameron Johnson SUMMARY: Today we take a look at Gigabyte's K8T890-9 motherboard designed for Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64’s. It includes support for the latest Athlon 64 x2 processors and is based on VIA’s K8T890 chipset. We compare the K8T890-9 motherboard against an nVidia nForce 4 based motherboard to help work out where VIA's latest AMD64 chipset stands.
