We have just reviewed one of the first mainboards based on VIA K8T890 chipset. This is a chipset solution for AMD Athlon 64 processors positioned as a competitor to NVIDIA nForce4. However, the product left a very uncertain impression: the chipset features as well as the mainboard implementation leave quite a bit to be desired. Read our review for more details.

VIA more often than not means cheap. :) While NF4 may cater to the needs of the OCer in ya, VIA does a good enough job being a cost-effective solution.

Lemme read the review now.

Not always.
Asus A8N-E and the A8v-E cost exactly the same at between $120-140
 
^^ Yep, both cater to the upper end of the spectrum. If u want a mainstream board, its hard to beat VIA's value for money boards.
