Next Gen A64 mobos. Comments & Questions.

[BoomAM]

Im sure that you all know about the new VIA K8T890pro chipset for A64.
That includes support for AGP8x, PCI, PCI-E, PCI-E16, Envy Sound, ect;

I was wondering;
what are the chances of someone like Asus or Abit making a A64 mobo, with the above chipset with the following specs?;
Socket 939.
3 DIMM slots.
3 phase power.
AGP8x Slot.
PCI-E16 slot.
PCI-E Slot/s.
Onboard Firewire.
And either;
a) VIA Envy in its "true" form with decent DACs and 8 channel output.
or
b) 1 or 2 PCI Slot (for existing sound cards)

Would a mobo like that be made? Would it be cost effective from a manufacturers point of view?

Socket 939 will debut the dual channel memory configuration for non-fx cpu's. Cache is said to be reduced back to 512k. I really want to know when nforce3 250 series comes. Hopefully not as late as socket 939 unless it is 939

Ive heard that the nForce3 250 will be released as a 754, 940 & 939 mobo.
