VIA bring AGP and PCI Express to Socket AM2
Also on ECS's stand at CeBit, you'll find a mainboard called K8T890-A940, which uses VIA's K8T890 core logic (funnily enough!) to bring PCI Express and AGP to AMD's new socket and processor family.Being Socket AM2, the board supports DDR2 memory, although at up to DDR2-667 speeds it seemingly lacks the DDR2-800 support of NVIDIA's upcoming MCP55 core logic. While the processor is what defines the speed of the memory in the main, the board and core logic still play their part in enabling that.
One for the upgrader or cost conscious PC user or OEM, the board has only 2 DDR2 slots, one PEG16X, two PCI Express 1x slots and a pair of PCI Conventional slots.
