There are no motherboards that support PCI Express with AMD processors
because until recently there was no available chipset with such support.
The first boards out will be those using the nvidia nforce4 chipset or the
Via K8T890 chipset. The K8T890 is supposedly available however so far no
vendor seems to have a board using it in stock. Both these chipsets are
for the 64-bit AMD chips, not the 32-bit.

According to Asus, their mb is shipping. I'd love to know where I can buy one.

Supposedly it's just going to "major OEMs" at the moment. So see who is
first to market and we'll know where they went.

Read the fine print: "This system has 30 day ETA." General availability on
the board is supposed to be in 30 days--they don't have any systems to sell
you until general availability.

....which ultimately means PCI-E AMD 64 mobos will be commonly available by
then, and you can "roll your own" for less...
