Where Are The Gigabyte K8NXP-9 Motherboards?

[TheBeagle]

Ever since AnandTech reviewed the Gigabyte K8NXP-9 motherboard last November, I've been trying to find out where I can purchase one. The ONLY place that has even mentioned them is ZipZoomFly.com, and they are just indicating that you can place your name on a waiting list for them. Has Gigabyte changed its mind about offering this board? I sure hope not, since it has ALL the features that I have been waiting for. If anyone has some current and RELIABLE info on these boards, please let me know. Thanks to all. TheBeagle in ChocolateTown - USA

Have you considerede the SLI version? It's not more expensive than I'd expect the K8NXP-9 to be.

Yeah, I looked at that option. But the single PCI-E slot is all I want and the extra regular PCI slot will come in very handy. Thanks for the reply. TheBeagle

Just like you, I've been waiting to get my hands on one as well. I asked Gigabyte-USA when they would be available. This is their response:

Gigabyte has put the release of the GA-K8NXP-9 on hold. I currently have no ETA. The current available model is the GA-K8N Ultra-9. The main difference is that DPS is not supported, and a WiFi card is not included on the latter.

The board is available everywhere in the world, except in the US market. I guess that I'll have to pick one up during my next business trip to Europe.
