We’re pulling double-duty this weekend, as we are reviewing the newest
chipset from AMD – 890GX – as well as one of the first mATX motherboards to
be equipped with it – the MSI
890GXM-G65<http://www.hardcoreware.net/msi-890gxm-g65-motherboard-review/>
.

AMD intends this to be a replacement for the 790GX chipset, but in more ways
than one it is more similar to the 785G. That is a good thing of course,
since the 785G sports solid performance and Blu-Ray hardware decoding.

They added a new Southbridge – SB850 – to replace the somewhat aging SB7×0.
It sports some new features such as SATA 6Gbps connectivity, but is
conspicuously missing native USB 3.0 support.

Does the tiny MSI 890GXM-G65 have what it takes to justify its relatively
high asking price compared to 785G boards?
