Where the heck can I buy an Asus A7A266-E?!?

For the longest time I keep hearing about the newest revision of the Ali Magik 1 chipset and how it's supposed to be used in the new version of the A7A266-E motherboard. But I've never seen this motherboard anywhere! Where is it?

Meanwhile, Via and nVidia announced new motherboard chipsets (KT333, nForce) and motherboards using those chips are out now. But I'm still waiting for motherboards based on the newest Ali Magik chipset.

I know the Iwill XP333 uses the newest Ali Magik chipset but I wanted a motherboard with 3 SDRAM slots so I could use my SDRAM until DDR memory goes down in price again. Also, the Iwill brand is hard to find -- most vendors at my computer shows don't carry that brand...

Edit: I corrected the model number from AVA266-E to A7A266-E.

I think you are looking for the A7A266-E, not the AVA266-E. Do a search for "asus a7a266 ali" on Pricewatch and it returns a few places that sells the A7A266-E.

Iwill is EVERYWHERE. Just go to Newegg, they sell both the XP333 and XP333-R.

Good luck!

Thanks for the correction -- I knew it didn't look right when I typed it.
