Finally, K8T890 is the PCI Express chipset product from VIA today. Featurewise it is at eye level with NVIDIA's nForce4 chipset except for NVIDIA's integrated ActiveArmor hardware firewall and SLI support. In exchange, VIA's VinylAudio solution proves to be the better audio component ever since NVIDIA decided to drop SoundStorm once and for all.
