I'm a little confused about the difference between them. I tried looking it up, but the only thing I really found is that the 990 supports SLI, which won't matter to me anyway.
I'm currently using an 880 chipset in my build that I finished last month, but I was trying to stay on a budget, and this motherboard had everything I needed and then some. I was building a moderate gaming rig, and I think I succeeded, because this thing performs beyond what I expected, but pretty much anything was an upgrade from my 5 year old Dell with a 9500 GT and 2.9 GHz Athlon 2x.
I'm not going to upgrade even if there are benefits that I could use on the 990, I was just curious of what I might have missed out on if I had looked a little harder and known a little more.
