In my quest for a new Motherboard...

It looks like the giga-byte AM2+ page, but it's not working yet. The page seems to be an "in progress" page.

I love finding things like this.

Anyone know when the first am2+ chip-set is actually going to be available for purchase? My motherboard died recently, and if they're coming out next week, what's the point of buying an am2 board?

I think there is a AM2+ mobo available for sale at Newegg already, made by biostar, I forgot what chipset they use. According to http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=9200, RD790 chipset will be released next month together with Phenom.

Ohh yeah, that one. I think it's actually just a plain am2 board though. It just has the required bios update already installed so it can support am2+ chips.

There aren't any real AM2+ chipsets out yet.
