NVIDIA has with the help of ASUS released the SK8N featuring the new Nforce-3 chipset and like usual ASUS is first to market and currently is the only manufacture making a board based on this chipset. You can bet others like Gigabyte and ABIT will soon follow suit and hopefully with a little more features as this board was a bit stripped down for the folks at ASUS but it still is the first, which is something, right?
