CPU/Mobo When are Uli chipset based mobos coming ?

[Switch]

Anybody has any idea of the launch date or any mobo details of the Uli chipset based socket 939 mobos... The one that has 2xPCI as well as AGP ports on it...

ASrock has one motherboard on Uli1695 Chipset out already.

But its without SLI...

Well i can't confirm, if this board support SLI, but there won't be any boards with dual PCIe x16 slots(as of now).The single PCIe x16 slot is converted to 2 pcie x8 slots by a riser card.See
http://www.ocworkbench.com/2005/uli/m1695/dualpcie-2.htm
So, later on, SLI may be implemented on this board too, through riser card.

No Sli will not be supported through rasier card... Cause there will be no way of putting it inside the cabby also all other PCI slots becomes useless... It is just a rference board in the pic which shows us that the board can support SLI... official boards will not require rasier cards... And thats what i am looking for... I heard that Gigabyte and Abit are two of the major makers developing boards on this chipset... I am looking for some info regarding that... not ASrock
