Theyhave officially released it, check it out here:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/#991400109

*) The MSI MS-6367
- MicroATX form-factor;
- Socket A;
- IGP nForce 420 North Bridge;
- 200MHz/266MHz system bus;
- 3 DDR DIMM slots for up to 1.5GB (when using 2 DDR, with 128-bit TwinBank Architecture; the bandwidth accommodates 4.2GB/s, which is twice faster than regular DDR platform. And when using 1 or 3 DDR modules, the memory bus makes 64bit);
- 3 PCI slots, 1 AGP 4x slot, 1 CNR slot;
- Integrated GeForce2 core;
- ATA/100, integrated AC’97 sound (MCP South Bridge without Dolby Digital support);
- To connect the IGP and MCP there is a high-speed bus with 800MB/sec bandwidth (HyperTransport protocols);
- Live BIOS and PC Alert III technologies.

......Well, as you can see, in case of 2 DDR SDRAM DIMM modules, nForce chipsets offer a unique feature for DDR chipsets: dual-channel memory access with the overall width equal to 128bit. In fact, it should have a positive effect not only on the performance of the integrated graphics core but also on the overall system performance...




*) The Gigabyte GA-7NTM....here's the deal on that one:
This is one of the most interesting Socket A products based on NVIDIA Crush 12 chipset with the integrated GeForce2 MX graphics core. It will have 3 DDR DIMM slots, 1 AGP and 3 PCI slots, 4 USB ports and AC97 sound.
