I just saw this annonced today:

http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=newsdesc&news_no=646

DKA790GX Platinum spec.
• AMD 790GX/SB750 chipset based
• Supports AMD Socket AM2+/AM2 Phenom, Athlon and Sempron processors
• 2 PCI-E x16 slots for full x16 speed CrossFireX support
• 4 dual channel DIMMs DDRII 533/667/800/1066 up to 8GB
• 10/100/1000 LAN port
• 7.1 channel surround Audio
• 5 SATAII and 1 eSATA2 ports support RAID 0/1/0+1/5
• 2 PCI-E x16, 2 PCI-E x1, 2 PCI slots
• 12x USB 2.0, 1x IEEE1394
• Built-in 1Gbit IGP Boost Memory

Should i keep my K9A Platinum or get the DKA790GX Platinum for future proofing.

Apparantly the Platinum edition supports 140W CPUs and it should handle Deneb too.
