The Asus board is still available. Tech Data and Ingram Micro still show it available in the states. I own two of them and love them. I would actaully buy the Epox 8K7A at this time if you want excellent performance and overclocking features. The MSI K7 Master is a good board but cannot touch the Epox/Asus/Gigabyte 7DXR boards in performance. If you are tight on funds go with the FIC AD11.
