Anyone know when we'll be seeing a KT266 mobo from Asus?

100 post, yes. Anyway, it's avaliable now? lol. Oh well, anyway, I Think Ocworkbench.com had a review on it, also do a Search at Google.com. It will have 2 DDR and 2 Sdram dims, I didn't like that setup, so I just went ahead and Bought the Msi K7T266Pror. ^_^ Have fun.

Where can you buy A7V266? As far as I know, A7V266 isn't out yet, and that Asus is waiting for the KT266 revision.

Rand: Sorry, I should have mentioned that I knew it was the A7V266, but I can't find anywhere that has it. I've been able to find about 2 reviews for it, both of pre-release versions, but no stores have it, and PriceWatch has nothing.

There is no KT266 chip revison as far as I know, there is only motherboard layout revisions and bios optimisations, no actaul revision to the chip, or so Viahardware.com states.

It's available but in extremely limited quantities right now. There is at least one person on this board I know of that ordered it recently.

Regarding what Viahardware.com says I'm still thinking their will be an actual new revision of the chipset not just tweaks to the layout and BIOS. From what I've heard it'll be quietly phased in, in place of the current revision and it'll just take the place of the current revision of the KT266 on the current boards.

why, would anybody wish to buy a KT266 board now, when a revision/changed stepping/improved version of this chipset is due in a short while?

Lol, well Me, I just bought Mine Monday, I was told there was no such thing as a new stepping or revision of the chip so I went ahead and picked Mine out, oh well.
