+1. I need two supported mini atx boards.

So far I've ordered two m2v mx se boards from two different vendors, only for
both of them to realize that their stock was really out and their website out
of date. Sigh.

Thanks,
Ward.

The Asus M2A-VM (not HDMI) is probably closest to usability. It has a
soldered PLCC32 BIOS chip, though. Video is mostly untested (VGA text
console works). I can send a patch to add the board to the tree if you want.

Newegg has them as well for $59.99.

By the way, these boards are mostly out of stock in Europe. Just a
heads-up that the same condition might hit the US soon.

Nope, sold out - that's what the grey 'auto-notify' button means.

Yeah, soon. It's already hard to find them.

We need that 780 support real soon now, or we'll be in a situation where
there are *no* desktop boards still available that we support within the next
month or so :/

Thanks,
Ward.

You only need to add support for SB700, since the 740G boards are a
690G+SB700, instead of the SB600.

Perhaps it may be good to start work in the 740G?

Best regards,
