Hello, Pasi!

As wikipedia says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_800_chipset_series) :
The codenames of the chipsets "RD890S", "RD870S" and "SB700S" has also 
changed to "SR5690", "SR5670" and "SP5100 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_700_chipset_series#SP5100>".^
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_800_chipset_series#cite_note-2>
Seems, that RD890 and SR5690 are the same chipset with different codenames.
