I'm building a new system and I have everything already to go except the mobo, video card and memory. FIC AD-11 and the IWILL KA266 are both out. After reading many posts and some reviews, I think I want the AMD 760 chipset. Do I wait for MSi or buy the FIC? Or skip that and go with IWILL?

It will be a 1.2G AMD machine for the internet and gaming. No overclocking. Looking for stability and speed both without having to "tweak" anything.

What is my best bet? MSi said March for a release although the lady didn't have any offical word for ETA.

I'M TIRED OF WAITING!!!:|

I too am tired of waiting. However, I am going to hold out just a bit longer for the msi or asus boards based on the via kt266. I was thinking about the asus a7m266 but figured it would probably be a better idea to wait for the second generation ddr boards before I bite the bullet.

What is the differnce in chipsets? Is it personal preference or is there hard data that one is better than the other (in different applications or for different types of users)?
