its been officially released on MSI's website back on the 4th of october, but i still cant find any retailers that are even pre-ordering this product, let alone selling it.

anyone hear anything or see anything about this motherboard for sale anywhere in the USA?

i really dont want to have to buy this from anywhere outside the USA. why would it be available in europe but not in the states?

does anyone know any place in the country that sells this board?

Hi there, i'm new to this board. Based on on information on this site i've recently I bought a system based on the Speedster in the netherlands. I'm quite satisfied especialy since it allowes easy installation of other heatsinks (however the placement of the CPU socket is a bit problematic since you cannot fit a scythe ninja or a X120 if you are planning on installing a PCI-express VGA card).

By the way if you are planning to buy this MB beware that there is a mistake in the manual on the placement of de ClearCMOS jumper. If you install the jumper the way the manual states then the computer won't start.

With kind regards
