Llano FM1 motherboards priced @ vrzone

Yeah but no mini-ITX boards to be found. I swear these companies are run by morons. These A-series APU's are friggin perfect for small form factor systems and yet ITX is a complete afterthought. It's irritating.

They release the product with the highest demand first. Obviously, the Micro-ATX form factor is the highest demand.
The mini-itx boards are on their way.

I checked the specs for the 3 motherboards on Newegg. The Asus board's specs state that only non-ECC is supported. The gigabyte boards' specs do not mention ECC at all.

Most Asus AM2/AM3 boards did support ECC. Most Gigabyte AM2/AM3 boards did not.

Does anyonw know if AMD has definitely dropped ECC support for their mainstream chips/chipsets(Llano/FM1/A75)?

It'd be a shame if it has been dropped. The ECC support in AM2/AM3 convinced me to go with AMD(and Asus), quite a few times in the past few years.
 
Those are rather expensive.

And what's with all those multi x16 PCI-ex slots ?
 
Michaelius: those US prices are just converted by exchange rate. The US prices will likely be lower for various reasons.

I was going to check the pinout of FM1 to see if it had ECC support. CB[0-7] pins would indicate that the controller supports it at least. The strangest thing when I went to check... all of AMD's "technical" documents are stripped bare to a few pages now. Not even current and older CPU data sheets have pinout information anymore. There are no hardware references for FM1 posted yet.

Still haven't seen any micro ATX designs for 990FX/990X boards yet...

Well, Llano has pretty much made the V/G/GX chipsets obsolete, and the only two board makers that would consider a MicroATX 990X/FX part are Asus and ASRock, and since Asus never put out 'Gene' versions of the Crosshair III and IV, I don't think there will be any from Asus. ASRock on the other hand, I don't know.

Those prices were in Singapore Dollars. USD prices will probably be around $10-$20 of the Euro prices.

Most of the FM1 boards I have seen usually have only one x16 slot the other is x4 from the FCH. I would like to see a MiniITX FM1 board that uses 8 or 16 PCI-E lanes for quad display controller support and a x4/x8 slot for a CableCard tuner

these all seem to be crossfire boards, are there cheaper models on the way? Do any of these support sli?

Wait!, why would you want SLI with llano, It has a radeon GPU in the APU, you would add two GPU's to an underpowered platform? I don't imagine SLI support will be included, if your going that route it should either be with bulldozer or Sandybridge

But there are going to be cheaper boards, and look to asrock to fulfill your desire for those motherboards,

Thats where I bought my brazos platform. Those are mini-itx boards, but I am sure asrock will release a cheap µ-atx boards.

Here are some more mini-itx boards coming out of Asus camp.

no. even if it was worth running on llano(which it isn't) SLI is only licensed for the 990 chipset(even though ALL AMD chipsets can run SLI just fine).
