New A64 mobos?

[THEREALJMAN]

Does anyone have a ETA on new A64 mobos? I am looking for NF3 250 or 755 chipsets. I turned my main rig into a HTPC and have been computerless for about 2 months now! I was holding out for socket 390 but it seems like it's never going to be here! I just bought a new Koolance case with all the goodies and it's killing me to look at it without being able to load it up.

Thanx for any info you have.

Why not go with the VIA chipset? All reviews have shown that NO A64 board has PCI lock, yet. So I went with a Albatron K8X800 ProII

It has hardware sound, firewire, giga ethernet, ect...... and only go's for $117 at newegg.com

Yeah, I just went with the Aopen AK86-L with the Via chipset.

I tried to contact ECS about their 755-A2 revision and they had "no information" to give me. How can they have no information on their own product and when it will be released?!

Yeah...

It was said the 755 had PCI lock then SOME nForce3 boards, BUT it has come out they only have AGP lock, NO pci.
If anybody has a link of a Athlon64 board with PCI lock i would love to read it but I don't think anybody is going to build that into their chipset until teh 939 chipsets come out.
