Any MATX boards for the "new" sockets?

It's getting to that time of the year when I'm after a new build, (what with my current full-size mobo being on its last legs anyway), and I'm looking at going small form factor; I don't need quite as powerful a machine since getting a PS3, plus they're very sexy!

The one hitch is that I can't see any M-ATX motherboards either for the AM3 or the i7 socket. As the mobo at least will need to last me 2-3 years (happy to upgrade CPU and GPU, but don't like changing mobos until I do a major rebuild), I really want one of the new sockets, rather than the less futureproof AM2 or 775 boards. Is there any news on one of these coming out in the next few months? Cheers :D
 
Good MSI board incomming for X58 that will be competatively priced. :)

AM3 mATX is due in about two months time from the big partners.
 
Just said due in about 2 months time from the big partners. :D

Looking a little bit less than that for the smaller guys.
 
Awesome, cheers guys.

Stupid question, but I've not been keeping that up with CPU/Mobo developments of late: what's i5?

Is that the "non-enthusiast" version of the i7 (ie the one that can't be clocked etc)?
