At this time there is not one. However, one has been announced.

 

 

*speculation?!* lol jp.

 

Why won't the ASUS ship? I definitely thought that was a great AM2 board. Especially with the WIFI option and capability muahaha. There isnt too many other boards out there running AM2 and it also depends if you are running SLI or Crossfire. Then again too, here are your current RELIABLE CHOICES:

 

ASUS

MSI

 

And thats it folks, at least for me. Wouldnt trust anyone else. Still I would go for the ASUS over MSI anyday.

The MSI K9N Platinum and / or Foxconn C51XEM2AA look quite good -they were both reviewed over at Anandtech and a few other places. The Foxconn comes with a 1394b firewire-800 port too if you're into video editing etc.

 

I'd go for the NF570 / NF570 SLI chipset at the moment though -the 590 is just a bit too high at the moment
