Seems like they are slowly trickling out into the distribution channel. I want to order this stuff before the end of the year, but looks like I might have to pay extra to be on the bleeding edge. I'm exploring other options like the 939 boards with just AGP. That probably will be enough for me. Every few days I check the prices on the other components and swap what I'm going to get. Looks like I won't know what's in the system until the day I buy it. Thanks again to everybody who donated for the system. I'm hoping for an injury report in early January. - Everything is $2 off in the BBshop. Gear up!
