Asus just added the A7M266 BIOS at www.asus.com.tw so we should see the A7M266 within a week or two.

Nice find...damn still only 5 PCI slots though.
Why the hell won't Asus use 6???? That's my only beef about Asus boards

Network Card, Sound Card, TV-Tuner, DVD Decoder, and I've been considering adding a Promise Ultra66 so I can have more than 4 drives in my computer.
That would be 5, and I like to have a space between my Video card and First PCI card...I have a fan mounted on my card's heatsink, and it's about half a millimeter from the back of the top card so it's kind of useless if the top PCI is loaded...

Anyone know of any resellers where I can pre-order this board other than Upgradesource? I have been looking, and I haven't found any.
Noriaki, you can save yourself the DVD decoder, a radeon or geforce (even rage or TNT) can handle it. Its not like you'll be playing quake3 while watching a movie, right?
Any word on the Abit KG7-RAID, I want the RAID and all IDE slots considering I have 4 HDDs, 1 CD-RW and 1 DVD drive. 6 PCI and 3 DDR-RAM slots. This is a little more packed than the Asus board, that is why I want to wait for it. I already have one stick of PC2100 and am looking for a good deal on a second stick to make 256Mb of PC2100. Then I am waiting for the Palomino (I know I have a little bit of a wait for that).
heh, I'd personally rather have a DVD decoder card, even if I had a 1 ghz T-Bird running.
why? same reason that I'd rather have SCSI. lower CPU usage! I run other programs very often. I run RC5 all the time.
with a SCSI and Hollywood + system, I could burn a CD, play a DVD, surf the net, download with broadband, and talk on ICQ, all at the same time, without worries about buffer underuns, DVD skips, or anything like that.

No...I have an 800Mhz TBird but I'm still not chucking out my DVD decoder. It's a want thing not need. I could chuck my network card and get an external 56k modem to...don't want to though. Could chuck my soundcard and use my onboard soft AC'97 don't wanna do that either...
GeForces and TNTs happen to have rather ugly TV-output.
The Radeon's is pretty good but even it isn't as good as the Hollywood Plus. Also AC-3 passthrough doesn't seem to work very well in Win2k, besides which my soundcard doesn't have an SPDIF output.
*shrugs* I'm not going to dredge up the Hardware vs Software DVD decoder war, I prefer hardware, if you prefer software that's fine to. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, right?

For some reason I missed Dulanic's link the first time round.
I'm hoping the MicroATX version comes out soon.

Well, that is the with the KT133 arena. We have yet to see the 761 arena. I don't mean to knock MSI, because they have been making respectable solutions. However, in Taiwan they are considered CHEAP and I don't mean inexpensive. When I look at their boards you can see that they are trying to cut cost every where they can. You are looking at a 4-layer PCB board. It may be just me, I just get hung up with boards where they are trying to cut costs. Now when we see figures out both boards, and if the performance is quite a bit different between the boards in favor of the MSI for the 761 chipset board then I would probably buy the MSI.
The thing is available in Japan, again, for those of you wondering why you should go to Japan to get the latest stuff.

True LXi but it looks to be sold out
<< The DDR SDRAM corresponding Socket A motherboard which adopts the AMD-761 for the NorthBridge of tip/chip set appeared even from the ASUS. As for product name " A7M266 ". The fact that it corresponds to the FSB 266mHz formally different from " GA-7DXC " of the GIGABYTE which appears first, is major feature.
The favorite apparent popularity is high in just the product which is done, 6 days (the Saturday) sells out the sale day from morning and the store appears, already has entered shortage of goods state. As for actual sale price 21,800 Yen - 25,800 Yen (as for details thing " of the new product reference which this week is found". >>

The shop which has stock at point in time of evening, as for the majority stock remains and calls several at level, it seems that New Year early with the ?A?L?o extreme scramble is developed. >>
