Introduction
Early this month, AMD put an end to months of silence with the release of their new 890GX/SB850 Core Logic. Given the arrival of the P55, H55 and H57 chipsets from Team Intel, it was time for a refresh and a much needed successor to the midrange 790GX and 790X chipsets. There aren't many of these boards available just yet, however today we'll be reviewing one of the first to market; The ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3.
