Here's abit's board. to be released *sometime* in June.

Unfortunately, Asus will be out in May, and I need to build soon.

wow...if this thing does come out in June....the QuadGT, will have been a great board with a very, very short lifespan, especially when considering BIOS was only fixed this month.

I just have been really impressed with Gigabyte's customer service. I once had an issue with a 939 board and even after warranty expiration of 2 years later they switched it with a new board of the box for free the same day.

Then again, I lost the 775 socket and holders for the 3d ultra cooler. They told me not to worry and gave me a brand new set and also threw in a AS5 stick for free and even showed me how to properly install the bracket on the board. How nice....

Their service center is amazing and this is why I stuck with GA when I recently bought my new system for C2D.

Noone knows for sure dark.... but these new bearlake boards definitly will work with Penryns via a bios update.

I already started a thread for P35 boards already selling last night and this German website has almost all the P35 boards on sale check it http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alternate.de

May 29th and I still don't see anything other then the Asus for sale, and all the P35 boards at Clubit say "Sold Out"

When are these P35 boards going to really start hitting the online retailers?
