Right now Newegg/Amazon only sells the ASRock 960GM MicroATX Mobo-- although for a cheap $55. At least this one has USB 3.0 and 2xSATA 6Gb/s ports. The Asus M5A78 and ASRock 880GM are also $55 on Newegg, but they do not have these more up-to-date ports. Actually, in this budget class of MicroATX board with onboard graphics, the best models I've seen are the ASRock 985GM-GS3 and the Asus M5A88-M. From the model numbers one would logically infer that these are the intended successors.
The problem is that the latter is apparently discontinued (which makes no sense to me), and the former I can only find for $80 with an expected 1-3 weeks for shipment via Amazon. Has it simply not reached most North American markets yet?
Suggestions on where to find these?
