Hi, few days ago, I bought the following configuration: MB Gigabyte GA-K8VT890-9 4x 1GB ECC DDR 400, Kingston Athlon 64 3500+, Venice core But there were problems with 4GB memory, motherboard said only 3260MB. So I wrote to Gigabyte and they said this is normal. So I changed board to Soltek SL-K890Pro-939. This is the right motherboard for VIAK8T890. 4GB is working, system is stable. So I can only recommend this configuration. As a PCI-E graphics, I think better is some of Geforce, because Nvidia has native drivers for BSD Good luck.
