I saw VIA came out with the K8T890 chipset for Athlon 64's with PCIe support
VIA K8T890
Since Im sort of new to the hardware game, but do want to purchase a 64 and have PCIe support, I was wondering if anyone could give me some hints as to how long it will take for reliable reviews to be posted regarding motherboards with this chipset?
Could I just go by manufacturer and pick up an ABIT board, for instance? Or would I be better advised to wait a month or so still (or more?) for a few manufacturers to make a board supporting this chipset and compare performance/price issues?

I wouldn't hold my breath. It takes about 2 months or so... sometimes longer. There is a lot of pressure to release a top-lfight PCI-e product for AMD right now, so... who knows?
