For NVIDIA's reference board to make it to production, someone like EVGA should step forward. It's not a big fan of AMD, even if it's working on products based on an nForce chipset. Don't expect a performance AMD platform product from them.

MSI has already announced the NF980-G65, which is a socket AM3 motherboard based on nForce 980a SLI, complete with DDR3, ESA, and NVCC support. ASUS' earliest roadmaps listed M4N82T Deluxe, which is a AM3, DDR3 version of the nForce 980a SLI board it currently sells.

i heard the notice when msi said it was working on it (apart from the 980a)

looks like a fine board. Sadly it uses a crappy 4 pin atx instead of 8 pin eps and the sli would be only 8x to each slot (still 2.0) but maybe u can have a good oc from it.

My vote: BUY IT
