First up, the board has AGP 8x. You can effectively count that as a Northbridge function. On the Southbridge side of things there's two channel SATA, RealTek Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire and audio.
VA-Technologies has announced that it will be releasing both single processor Nvidia and dual processor AMD based systems through its Max Black professional equipment arm.
