Yonah compatible motherboards?

I've done a bit of searching, but haven't found much specific info (maybe just because it doesn't exist yet) on Yonah compatible motherboards.

I know AOpen has the i945-whatever availible overseas (haven't seen it in a US based store yet)
And Asus announced the N4L-VM HT.

So
1. Do we have ETAs for these (or others) in US markets?
2. Do we have approximate street prices for these boards? (They're specialty items, like the Pentium M boards so I assume not cheap is a good estimate to start with).
3. Are there any other candidates for Yonah motherboards I should be aware of? Something like the Asus CT-479 adapter for normal S478 boards again? Probably not...

I'm just looking for a low power, quiet, reasonably fast dual core setup here. I want to move to dual core, and off my AXP-M desktop. I'm working on deciding whether or not it makes sense to grab a Yonah, wait for a Turion X2, or grab a Conroe late this summer.
I certainly don't need the performance of Conroe over Yonah / Turion, but if I'm looking at $300 mATX boards for Yonah still in June, I've got no trouble holding off. I'm certainly not pressed to upgrade. Just starting to do my homework for the next desktop computer.
 
1.Some have said they should be back in stock at newegg around this weekend and I am hopign they are right.

The only board that I am aware of that will be available stateside soon is the aopen and by the looks of it $300 appears to be the general price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813137081
I would say if it doesn't hurt ya hold off until COnroe or Merom as AM2 will not be at the same prefromance as them upon release. Yonah is blazing fast but the downside is the shared cache which hurts its performance when multitasking.

Hope that helped you out

EDIT if you are going to OC it with a ES chip go for a stepping 8 as the Stepping 4's are FSB limited kind of like the dothan B1's

Where on the ES chip is the stepping denoted? I have an ES T2300 QJAX on the way and was just currious if it will turn out to be a dud.
 
I will have to go check on that for you. Please give me some time and I will find it for ya, hiopefully post it tonight and it will show in cpuz.
 
Still no response but once you install it will show if it is a stepping 4 or 8 in cpuz. I am really curious now about where on the chip it says stepping.

The board is currently in stock at newegg; check the link.
 
Gald to see they are back in. I know of a few people that already picked it up but boy is the price steep. I hope the oc problems wiht it are just cpu related so far and not the baord as it cost too much to not get the job done.
