Generation Two P965 Boards?

[mikedice]

In Gary's "Taiwan Pre-CES Technology Tour Part 2" article, he mentions that:

Also, we were told that motherboard requirements for the Quad Core series of processors have been clarified and to some degree "tightened" up by new Intel specifications. This is another reason why generation two P965 and generation three 975X boards will be introduced shortly.

When will we see these Generation 2 P965 boards start showing up and what can we expect from them? Are they worth waiting for?

I think middle-end of January looks like it. I've got my eye on the Abit AB9 QuadGt personally. I've been holding off on buying a mobo for a while now, just need to hold off one more month. I'll occupy myself with PS3 and the holidays for now.

Is second generation the same as second revision? The P5B-E is a second revision (C2)mobo supposedly. Just curious if the two are one and the same?

The Asus Commando [ 2nd Generation i965P, not revision C2, 2nd generation ] should be out shortly ( prior 2007 most likely )
