Or the Chaintech VNF4 Ultra, for under $110.

Weren't these released in October, according to Abit? At least thats what all the Ads I saw online said, along with the press release.

Hmm, I wish that Epox board would come to my local store. Also, I wish I could see it head to head with the DFI, or Soltek, or Abit...
I am a tad nervous about the memory troubles the DFI has been having, as I will be getting the Corsair Value Select .

Newegg has it for $120.

At that price, the board looks pretty good. From what I've read, the AV8 was a pretty good board, and this looks quite similar. If they've fixed the temp sensor problem, that would be great. The passive cooling is nice compared to their nForce4 offering. I sure wish some site would review it soon.

This board has everything I want. Are there any reviews?

 

[vwgeek]

Well, I ordered one. I'll post my experiences with it once I receive it and build the system.

 

[Teetu]

yeah, i do think that it is worth it over the epox or chaintech

Why are you assuming the guy wants an nForce 4 motherboard when the original post was about a VIA K8T890 motherboard?

vwgeek, let us know how it goes! Do you plan to overclock it?

Dude a BIOS update will fix the Corsair Value memory troubles. If you don't wanna update BIOS a couple simple settings in the BIOS will fix them.

I've heard of everyone with memory troubles with corsair VS had went away with either a update or fixing the timings in the BIOS.

I'm probably going to run it stock for awhile before I consider overclocking. And even then, I'll probably start with Abit's auto-overclocking options.
