There is a new chipset that should be launched anytime between now and the 15th of next month unless its been pushed back further. It will be a new 790FX with South Bridge 750. Also the AMD 9950 is rumored to be released around that time or along side the new chip, although its 140Watts instead of 125 like the 9850. GA-MA790GP-DS4H is supposedly Gigabyte's new board with SB750 so i'm keeping my eye out for more info as well.

support of RAID 5,and 12 USB 2.0 ports,6 SATA 3Gb/s ports and eSATA
best of all increasing the overclocking potential for the cpu

i am two waiting for a good crossfire board with SB750 southbridge
the sb600 is kinda old and i feel it is somehow slow comparing to the other
and yet installing vista with AHCI enabled is tricky
