Who sells Gigabyte 8S655TX ultra NOW

[fritzfield]

I have downloaded the manual and I have read the various evaluations of this MB. I want to get this but no one seems to have it. Any idea if it is actually released to the US market? I guess I can wait.



ETA at Newegg is December 29th.

Thats a good question, I would like to know as well, because i am thinking about buying one after christmas. But i Still dont know weather i want the Asus P4P800 or the Gigabyte 8S655TX....I want the faster one when it comes to gaming.

Well, Asus supposedly has the P4S800D-E Deluxe that is based on this same SIS 655TX chipset that is better than their P4P800, but like the Giga-byte board, it seems to be available overseas but is MIA in the USA. I was ready to buy the P4P800 until I read about the new chipset boards and their support for Prescott.

I really like the Giga-byte iteration of this chipset. The manual is available at giga.byte.com.

yeah, i want one too...

I am building a computer right now and have most of the other parts except for the mobo/cpu.... :brokenheart:

I really want the giga tx board but I dont know how much longer I can wait... another week perhaps.

I like that rhyme: "MIA in the USA"

Sounds like a Bruce Springsteen song....

 

[varkeast]

anyone heard anything about the availability of these TX boards in the US?

I was also waiting for the 655tx boards but could not wait any longer..arrrggg. So got the new gigabyte 865 2.0 board.

I am still waiting for the Gigabyte model. Supposedly due out in mid-February according to Gigabyte tech support. I know that they used to supply boards using non-Intel chipsets to Compaq, so hopefully it will be a stable and long-lived replacement for my Abit BX6 rev 2. And with the Intel price drop in early February, this board will make their P4 2.8c a good upgrade for me.
