First AMD 690G Mainboard Appears
OCWorkbench has some pictures of the first AMD 690G based motherboard manufactured by YingTong. YingTong 690G is the first mainboard that utilises the first AMD named chipset - AMD 690G formerly known as ATI RS690+SB600. It supports the AM2 processors and 4 slots of DDR2-800 memory. Integrated within is the X700(4 pipeline) video with support for DX9, SM2.0 and HDMI out with HDCP. The board also comes with a PCIe slot, 4x SATAII ports(NCQ and RAID 0,1,10 configurations also supported), Realtek RTL8100C GbE LAN and Realtek ALC883 HD Audio chip.

Been waiting for so long for a board based on this chipset to appear. Should make a nice HTPC board.
So happy i signed up to the forums. :)
Careful, ATi. You're ruining bad reputation of the phrase "Integrated Graphics". I wonder how it will hold up in Vista. Sexy.
There will be a lot more new mobos coming with the latest chipsets and hopefully a few of them will actually function properly, unlike most of the crap sold in the past couple years.
BTW, I never heard of YingTong so I wouldn't be rushing out to buy this board anyway. I'd wait 6-8 months to see what real people using this board get for results, what kind of tech support is provided, what BIOS updates show, and if the company is still in business, etc.
it would kick INTEL/Nvidia in onboard ghraphics quality ;)
ps: I WANT THAT BOARD
