As title really, are there any new AM2 boards comeing out in the next few weeks, I have decided I can make do with my laptop till the AMD price cuts due with Conroes release so am going to wait till then before buying my new mobo/cpu/memory. ideally I would like an AM2 crossfire compatible motherboard as I have an X1900XTto go in my new system. There isn't much choice at the moment for AM2 but I am hopeing that will change in the run up to Conroes release. Before anyone mentions it, I have no real interest in Conroe, some may think I am mad but I dont care :)

So if anybody knows of anything which might interest me motherboard wise due for release in the next couple of weeks/month would be grateful if you would share this info with me.

Many thanks in advance :)
 
I believe that a lot of all the upcoming nVidia AM2 boards are based on the reference design. This EPoX looks good but it's a shame they are only available from one UK store at the moment. Does anyone know why this is? I bought my current board from OcUK just over a year ago...
 
Afaik you won't see any Crossfire AM2 boards for 3-4 weeks earliest.

Abit UK expect the AN9 series to arrive here next week.

3-4 weeks will be ok as that ties in nicely with the 24th of July AMD price drops

Anybody have any information on the crossfire boards?

Many thanks for the replies :)

Check the date of the opening post ;)

The wife and I decided to just use the laptop after so much advice to wait for conroe. I was going to get an X2 4800 but stock was really hard to find, then the proposed AMD price drops were released and I decided it was stupid spending £400+ on a processor that is more than likely to half in price a few weeks later and the fact not many decent AM2 boards were around at the time. So after deciding the laptop would do, I thought if I was going to wait for AMD price cuts, I may as well wait for Conroe. That decision was made after much agonising the weekend the Conroe pre-order went up on OCUK and reading benchmarks of the conroe against the FX62 :)

The whole thing has been a bit traumatic as after deciding to add the P5W to my pre-order a couple of days later the thread appeared telling of the non support out of the box and now the delays with the conroe have made things worse.

I dont know how I would have coped if the wife had not bought me an Xbox360 ;)
