There was an image of GA-7NTX a month or so ago, on a Chinese website. It seems to have six PCI slots, by the way (not that it makes a difference, as one of them would have to be taken by a sound riser).

Edit: Here is its image from Tom's Hardware: http://www6.tomshardware.com/business/01q4/011121/comdex_4-04.html

Who said A7N doesn't use nForce ethernet? Keep in mind that nVidia did not develop their own network chip. Most likely, they use the Realtek chip, and Asus simply called things their names.

Actually, the onboard sound on nForce is better than Audigy.

Go to : pricewatch.com; motherboards; type in nvidia and WALA 3 pages of them. Although, for some reason BUY.com does not show there and they presently offer the MSI one for $168 with FREE shipping - that's BEST price right now that I know of BUT they are Back Ordered.

Merry CHRISTmas!

replying to comment on MSI board:

I've contacted buy.com to find out when these might be available again (read: when are they getting them in and/or when would it be shipped if I ordered it today) but have not received a response. Does anyone have better info? Finally, if time goes by & one still does not have it, is it possible to cancel the order if it remains on backorder?

My thought has been to buy with Amex Blue now & maybe pricementach after a month or two .. so not only is the price attractive, but also the free shipping?

Any recent news on this board? I wish Gigabyte's page had some info about this (like when it's going to be released).
