I am thinking about AMD FX-8350, so I need an AM3+ board. According to some pictures I found, Sabertooth 990 FX seems to have ITE IT8721F, which should be - al least partially - supported: http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2011-September/066483.html (but I didn't find it in Supported Chipsets and Devices in wiki) > Thanks, > > Paul Also thanks. I will probably buy this board (if I don't find better one) and post more info about it.
