If you're thinking of buying a Gigabyte based Pentium 4 motherboard, don't bother until after Christmas, I've now been waiting for Gigabyte to supply my local PC shop with a revision 2 GA-8KNXP board for the last 7 weeks and I'm not the only one, each time Gigabyte seem to have sent out revision 1 of the board as you might not be aware revision 1 wont support Intel's upcoming Prescott CPU leaving you no upgrade path and this seems to be the same story for other Gigabyte Pentium 4 motherboard.
I have lost a lot of respect for Gigabyte as a company, after a quick scan of the more popular site like scan, overclockers and Aria to name a few it seems that Gigabyte are dumping stock of reversion 1 of their more popular 865 and 875 boards! so be careful when buying a Gigabyte board and make sure you get revision 2, if you plan on getting a Prescott processor! I'll be email Gigabyte UK later to see if I can get a reply?
