When ASUS A7S333 on SiS745 chipset started selling in Japanese hardware stores there appeared a very interesting pic on the mainboard package:

What a popularity! The CPUs haven’t yet appeared in the market but they are already supported by the selling products. Moreover, there will never appear any AMD Thoroughbred processors, as this is just the codename for the 0.13micron Athlon XP :) By the way, in the meanwhile we discovered one more interesting thing: this mainboard sells in Japan for around $90, which means that it should sell in the rest of the world for around $80. If you are looking for the detailed mainboard specs, please see this news story.
