Shuttle SFF Systems-When will we see 800MHz FSB?

[vetteguy]

Has anyone heard any news/rumors about any upcoming Shuttle cube systems which will utilize Intel's new 800MHz FSB line of P4's? Over at sudhian forums they're very hush-hush "I-know-something-you-don't-know" about it, but it's very frustrating because this will determine several major purchases within the next few months. If I only could find out that there definitely will be one before May that would help immensely. Does anyone know anything about their upcoming products?

The following is speculation...
I reckon that 800 FSB SFF are comming. the question is when........as for the next product...its pretty well know that it will be a XPC server with dual PCI..Most likley a Intel platform.......whether the 800FSB will come before may, I doubt it...its already march now....shuttle normally take ages to release there products...

Hmm...so here is my dilemma:

I want to get a HT P4. If I wait until May, I can get the 3.06 for ~$400, or a 2.8 for maybe ~$325. These will be on the 800MHz FSB. If I get a Shuttle SB51G, it will support the HT but will still be on the 533 FSB. I'm trying to decide when I want to take the plunge. Basically I don't want to drop $300 for the Shuttle only to have the new one come out 2 weeks later.

Not to go OT, but i'm also Interested in SiS655 SFF, 746FX SFF, KM400A SFF with DCDDR.

Fortunately Shuttle mainboards are now upgradable. You can actually get one of the cheaper models and go with the monster down the road.... if it's worth it.

Because of the pending motherboard changes, I think I'm set on just getting a microATX case and board combo. ALMOST as small as a shuttle, but standard board and parts (minus PSU) and much cheaper and easier to upgrade. By a LARGE price difference.

But then price is important to me.
