| Date: 11/25/03 05:47:30 AM]ASUS will release four or maybe even more new mainboards with i865PE, i865G and i865P onboard, our source in the company said today. As always, expect ASUS to bring you some juicy features and excellent quality, though, you will probably have to pay the price for it.
For your convenience I decided to put up all the information about the mainboards in one table (click on the pictures to enlarge them).

I have no exact price figures and availability timeframes since they vary from country to country and from region to region, however, I can state that the products will be available shortly and will be a bit more expensive compared to competing mainboards from other manufacturers.
