Boards built around AMD's new 880G chipset are just now starting to appear, including three models Biostar introduced today: TA880G HD, TA880GB HD, and A880G HD.
All three motherboards come paired with AMD's SB850 South Bridge, which means native SATA 6Gb/s support, integrated Radeon HD 4250 graphics with support for DirectX 10.1, and HT3.0 support.
Biostar's new boards share quite a bit in common, including support for six-core Phenom II X6 chips, DVI and HDMI ports, a single PCI-E slot, and RAID 0/1/5/10. So what separates the mobos?
- A880G HD: 2 DDR3-1333 slots, 6 channel audio, 4 SATA ports
- TA880GB HD: 4 DDR3-1600 (OC) slots, 6 channel audio, 6 SATA ports
- TA880G HD: 5 phase design, 4 DDR3-1600 (OC) slots, 8 channel audio, 128MB sideport memory, 1 PCI-E x1, additional PS/2 port, all solid caps
The middle and high-end variants also come equipped with Biostar's GTO 63 technology, which the company claims enhances system performance up to 60 percent or more.

Nice! I have no intentions of spending $1,000.00 on Intel's overpriced equipment, so that's good news. There needs to be more high-performance motherboards for the AM3 platform.

I'm glad to see more low-mid range AMD motherboards, but we need more high-end boards! And something with at least 6 SATA ports.
I'd really like to see tri-channel memory slots on an AMD board in the near future...

Nice! All it needs is 2 more memory slots and I'll be happy!

the chips don't support it and it would just add cost for 0 performance gain. Doesn't really seem like something amd would implement since they are going for low cost.
