Just randomly Google'd Sabertooth today cause I really really want one and turns out a couple reviews have hit today.

Pretty much looks like there isnt much difference at all between 990 and 890 chipsets at least in terms of current Phenom II offerings. Guru says you can buy them now but I dont see them on Newegg or TigerDirect.

Well that sucks. This confirms the 990 chipset isn't much special.

Doesnt look like it other than SLI that is. Im hoping there will be some more features available on the actual BD procs that this chipset can utilize. If not, I may just get a Crosshair IV if theyre cheaper.

Meh, I'm definitely leaning more in the Crosshair V direction.

The only reason I could maybe think of when it comes to that the 990 chipset isn't much is because it's not using any new Bulldozer-esque CPUs.
