[news] Gigabyte motherboard with Intel Z68 Express chipset on sale in Taiwan ahead of

Intel's Z68 Express chipset and its SATA 6Gb/s connections, CPU and memory overclocking, and SSD caching capability weren't supposed to hit store shelves until the eighth of May. But, at least one Taiwanese retailer didn't get the memo -- or maybe it's just another instance of Intel's early far-east distribution on the down-low -- because pics from across the Pacific show a shiny new Z68 Express motherboard from Gigabyte can already be had for the princely sum of NT $11,900 (about $407 here in the land of greenbacks). That's quite a stack of cash for a place to put your speedy Sandy Bridge CPU, but perhaps its expeditious performance can be had for a more reasonable price once it lands on western shores... or maybe we should just start saving now.

Z68's will replace the current P67 with a little added cost.. The UD7 is currently 16,800 ( SRP ) so probably this will be at about 17,500 ?

mahal jud diay ni nga board,anyway payter sad kaayo.

[EarlZ]

Kay UD7 mana, the UD4 should be the mainstream-highend modem should cost around 12k, I wonder if Z68 is worth waiting for.
