Has anyone found an nForce 4 board (for sale) yet?

[rebturtle]

I know ASUS officially launched their nForce 4 boards a couple days ago, but has anyone found boards with this chipset (of any brand) actually up for sale yet?

I have given the details of the M/B to a retailer and he is making enquires with his distributors. So far nothing.

Still can't find them. But, for anyone who may be interested, MSI has a <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2269" target="_new">ATI Radeon XPress 200 chipset</A> motherboard ETA 12/3 at <A HREF="http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=110473&AFFIL=FRG&NR=1" target="_new">MonarchComputer</A>.

I have just found out that I will not get my hands on an SLI board until early new year. This is how it is in Australia though. You guys usually get these products earlier.

Well, at least we will likely get a later BIOS version.

In NZ we will be able to get the Asus A8N in about 2 days, too bad i dont need a SLI board, i'll have to wait for a Ultra

Hey Kevlar,

I'm in NZ too and saw some sites saying the 4th and 5th of december. What shop told you in a couple of days?

The reason I ask is I'm a bit sceptical about the dates, a friend of mine here had a bit off trouble of that nature with a 6800gt, they kept pushing back the ETA.

Be nice if it does get here before Christmas, cause I could use a new computer and have been waiting for the new nforce.

Sadly, this isn't for sale yet, but it's the first date I've seen posted.

http://www.gameve.com/gve/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=MB-ASUS-031

For those to don't want to go there, it says:
This item will be released on 12/25/2004

Other than this, all I've seen is "mid-Deceber", "Coming Soon", or no date at all.

UPDATE:
They changed the expected release date on this. Now, this could be a sign of things to come that the date will change a lot before release, or it might be a sign that the boards are closer to release than first thought. Anyway, new release date is: This item will be released on 12/10/2004

That's the good news. The bad news is they also updated the price. Went from an already high $250 to $299.
