"Supposedly" they are under new management and assured others that the orders would be processed quickly and if they had any problems even gave them his name to call for support or RMA................Since I already have mine, I didn't check, but, at $99 PLUS free shipping according to them, sounds like it might be worth a try........................Originally posted by: LukFilm
According to ResellerRatings.com, 11cb.com is NOT a good company to deal with. I'll wait until Newegg or GoogleGear get this motherboard in stock, until then my P4S533 will be enough
You guys should've seen my original post...this is where I ordered it and it looks like they have it in stock.Originally posted by: Shiva112
This site has it in stock and has good reseller ratings.

I flashed my mobo to the latest bios. Still no voltage adjustment settings(for memory, agp, or cpu). There is a pci/agp lock as someone asked in an earlier thread. The system is rock solid with 9700 pro and ddr400 memory(no adjustments for the cas settings). The memory automatically runs in cas2.5-4-4. Not sure if I got CAS2 Corsair pc3200c2 memory, whether it will change to 2-3-3. Not a big deal as long as the system performs great, which it is. No locks at all. Running XP Pro. The board is worth it for $99(without shipping).

While shopping around the net for this board, I found Spartan Technologies. They sell the Corsair XMS Series memory, but specifically say it does not work with SiS 648. See it here.Link to Spartan Tech's Memory ordering page that contains warning about SiS 648 compat

Don777's point is good, but a bit strong IMO. IF Gigabyte does indeed stand by their claims, then the 648 is still a better chipset than the 645DX due to the AGP 8x, the 1gig link between the North and South Bridges, and the fact that it *will* run DDR400 just in case the pundits are wrong.
I'm not one of those that buy a mobo each month or two. In fact, I upgrade about every two years, and although I rationalize about needing overclocking and the wizbang features of the day, I usually don't.
I am considering alteratives...what are yours?
