OCWorkbench has two reviews of the new chipsets AMD launched together with Phenom, one for the ECS A770M-A and another for the DFI LP UT 790FX-M2R.
While the DFI is a proper enthusiasts motherboard, the ECS is a more "down to earth" kind of motherboard. No pricing is available yet, but it's simplistic design is sure to put it below $80. It's a shame that it doesn't allow adjusting the CPU northbridge voltage, like the DFI, and the multiplier of the CPU. It still allows extra voltage for CPU and RAM and FSB to a max of 500MHz. While not so fast as the DFI, it puts up a fight and is a good option for the budget oriented consumer.
