This board didn't really have an abnormal amount of deaths for a 1st batch but they were highly publized since this board was supposed to be the 2nd coming for the mATX C2D world. The expectations were 400FSB solid atleast plus great HDMI support. What happened was a few boards died, HDMI problems, 370FSB but only with a modded bios, and high amounts of people posted this. Many consumers seem to be waiting for the chips to fall where they may and this caused a decrease from 100 to 25 buyers of this board on my website...literally overnight.
This board was supposed to be everything and it turned out to just be a good board. Perhaps with lower expectations we coulda seen a lot more of these sell. Oh well
To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with abit. Clearly they talked up a mobo that would do what we want but the failed...lets hope they notice this and do a few fixes.
For now I'd still say this is the best mATX board out there but as normal, we are disappointed that it didn't make up enough ground on the ATX folks.

So where is the review. I had to buy a 690 board for an matx build, I wanted to have a C2Duo desktop and an AM2 matx for secondary pc.
I went with the Gigabyte matx 690 board and a 3600, I have not been able to find any reviews. I had considered the Asus but it did not overclock well at all however the GB may be the same, anyone got comment

But remember, if you wait for it to be released, don't get a rev 1 board, wait for the the bugs to get ironed out. However, by the time that the rev 2 boards are out there will be a new AMD board that supports the K10 about to be released, so you should wait for that. But then don't get a rev 1 board, wait for .............

who knows if it will be better or not. but the 690g is already down to $55 at newegg... so even if it were slightly better it might not be worth it if it costs more.

I think he's going to include that nvidia 7050 board too, which is good thing

All Good but where do you draw the line? If Gary waits to review every new chipset/MB announced then we might never get this review....
