wait for ati's rd580?

[aepurniet]

i want to get a dual socket, dual core system. the mother board of choice seems to be Tyan k8we. but im thinking about running ati's new card in there (x1900). should i wait until ati releases their new chipset so i could potentially crossfire? Will the new chipset be available on any motherboards that are built for 2 amd's?

ATI Xpress 3200 (RD580) was mean't to be launched at the same time thar X1900 series, but was delayed until the first weeks of the next month. If you can wait, buy a Xpress3200 board, like A8R32-MVP deluxe of Asus. If not, buy a actual Xpress200 or nForce 4 board. But I don't think that Xpress3200 will be available in dual-socket version.

looks like an nvidia chipset and an ati card for me. at least i dont have to wait anymore.
