Where and when available?

[Bismarck]

Hey, I just saw it on their website, it's not like I'm handling distribution on Asrocks behalf.

Anyway nice that they add another chipset to their arsenal of K8-upgrades. Basically they got everything now: SiS, VIA, ULi and nVidea!

Looks like the only one left is ATI

Good news at last. I have received confirmation from Asrock Europe that they have today received their first shipment and it will be available soon!

[Bismarck]

I guess the ATi Radeon® Xpress 200 Series cost too much to use them on S754 boards? I'm already surprised that the new SiS 756 chipset has been used for the K8Upgrade-PCIE.

Well what is so surprising?

[M-1]

Maybe Bismarck thinks that SiS 756 is quite new and for this reason expensive so he's surprised that ASRock uses it for an Upgrade series motherboard (as it seems that ASRock is very sensible to chipset prices).

Bye!

I couldn't have said it better myself M-1!
