The ASRock 970 seems to be well-liked but shouldn't I be going for a 990 chipset?

I was really trying to keep it under $200 for a new board and 2x4GB RAM. I have always been an ASUS fan myself though and did take a look at that board initially. The info on the Vishera chips being AM3+ doesn't seem to be set in stone though and I'm wary of some last minute change or delay that results in me having to scrap this great new expensive board I have in a years time for one reason or another. Maybe I haven't read enough or my fears are simply unfounded?

In that case, check out the ASRock 990FX. I really like ASRock boards. I had a midrange 780G board from them and I beat the ever luvin' crap outta that thing. I'm talking a 6 core X6 at 4GHz at 1.6 volts on a board that was never built to handle a 6 core much less 1.6 volts but this thing never so much as whimpered. I couldn't get it stable but its still a testament to that things durability. I'd buy another no problem.
