As to the Iwill representative, the first shipments of DDR mainboards are scheduled for 1 December 2000. And the first products we will be able to see on the shop shelves will be Iwill KA266 and KA266-R (with ATA/100 IDE RAID controller: AMI MG80649). These boards are based on ALi MAGiK 1 chipset and will be available at the recommended street price of $169 and $189 correspondingly.
As for the rest of the mainboard specs, they look as follows. Both boards are designed in ATX form-factor and support Socket A processors and 200/266MHz FSB. As for the memory slots, there are 3 DIMMs for the maximum of 3GB PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM. Besides, the mainboard is also equipped with 5 PCI, 1 AMR and 1 AGP 4x slot, integrated C-Media CMI8378 sound. The boards support ATA/100.
Almost at the same time Micron is going to start mass supplies of their PC1600 and PC2100 DDR SDRAM DIMM modules. So, there are just a few days left till the world welcomes a new DDR era.

If that board just had adjustable voltage I think I would have to buy myself one. It sounds like Iwill is quite a bit earlier than anybody else.
