Anyone know why this motherboard has dried up in the distribution channels? Seems pretty sudden...

I think Gigabyte has discontinued it.

Yeah that's what Tonymac said, but you can get it from Amazon, just cost like $4-8 more than Newegg I think.

I wonder if the UD2 is next to get the axe...BTW, for anyone shopping you can get $40 off on the UD2 or P55a-UD3 at Microcenter with CPU purchase. Here is the link:

OMG I'm building my PC with a P55A-UD3 right now!

Oh well, Micro Center doesn't have it paired with a 875K

I think so as the GA-H55M-UD2H is a very similar board. The only difference seems to be P55 vs. H55 and the H55 loses 2 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors.

Have you clocked that 875k up yet? Most of the reviews I've seen state it's a waste of money because there isn't much headroom over what you get in an 860 anyway...but I would be curious to see how far you can push it.

Perhaps Gigabyte is about to release mATX boards with SATA III and USB 3.0...that would be cool!

Well, they will be removing ALC 889a support for sure, as it seems their goal to slowly phase it out of their boards in the A series, so it's sort of a mixed blessing.

Did you mean phase out their non-"A" boards?
