How long until the new VIA/AMD motherboards come out? What are they and how are they different from current?

Like the title says. I'm just trying to figure out when to upgrade into a very high end T-bird setup with rock solid stability, but have heard the new mobos are coming out...which I have no idea what they are and when?

I was about to pick up an Asus A7M266, but realized they are not being produced anymore.

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks.

Personally.. I was going to buy the Epox 8K7A (AMD/VIA), but rather I'm holding out for nVidia's nForce chipset, which is supposed to be really good. Should be around August-ish I think.

Yeah, they are around like bevo said, Mwave.com has them, they are Pricey though. I'm Purchasing the MsiK7T266pror motherboard Monday with the KT266 chip, great motherboard from the reviews I have read, Hothardware.com, Dw3d.com, Planetsavage.net are some. I was Considering waiting for some other brands to get this chip out, but this motherboard has everything I need, Also it has the new Pc2pc feature, just like networking I Think, comes with calbes and everything to do it with too. Nforce is too Far away and won't be Astonishingly faster really.

Coligeon There has been a long history of very heated love/hate debate about the K7T266...More than most!
