Where can I find the 333 msi, gigabyte or asus?

Looking for one of these. Are they not out yet? I want to upgrade from my k7s5a, and these boards look sweet! But they are had to find. Any help?

Motherboards based on the VIA KT333 chipset are "around the corner" so to speak.
Expect volume shipments from a few of the MAIN motherboard manufacturers within two weeks.
Something to note, however, is that there will be a revised version (usually denoted by the letter "A") available a
VERY SHORT time after the KT333 hits the street.
I've heard that VIA will have an updated version right away ... and will stray from their usual naming conventions/nomlecature.
You're all familiar with how it works ... a few examples are : KT133 & KT133A , KT266 & KT266A , P4X266 & P4X266A
The rumors are that VIA will drop the "A" and go to something more confusing/different ... I haven't gotten concrete info to support it ... but the source is fairly reliable.
I would expect AT LEAST "the big three" to have boards out of the chutes right away (The BIG THREE are : Asus, Giga-byte and MSI)
You can probably also count on Abit being an early bird on this.
The way things have been going lately, I would put my money on the MSI board.
I'm not saying it will be first ... but it may be the BEST.
Other manufacturers "working" on the KT333 chipset are (mostly) no surprise: Acorp, AOpen, Biostar?, DFI, EPoX, FIC, Iwill, Shuttle and Soyo

I have also heard rumers that they will actually skip the "a" version of this and go right to the 400. Many of the reviews on these board have the asua and gigabyte pretty much equal. Asus is usually just too much $. So I think I have found a gigabyte board that I can buy now. The MSI looks the best and has alot of "gadgets" that come with it.
