VIA PT800 chipset

[Jermmd]

Does anyone know when mobo's using the VIA PT800 chipset will ship? How do you think these boards will compare to the present boards. The write-up on (H)ardOCP was pretty tempting. If the price is right I may pick one of the up for a new Super Gaming PC I'm planning to build (for less than $1000 of course).

WOW!! I did not expect the VIA Single Ch to put the same level of power as a 875, this should put a fire on intels chipsets, and maybe set SiS back quite a bit.

Anyone else know anything about this. When will it be available and how much cheaper then 875 boards? I'm building my new computer after summer vacation.

how about overclocking stability? I don't remember VIA priding itself on Overclockable P4 chipsets before
