I thought some of you might want to know Newegg has this available as a pre-order with a release date listed as 12/10 and a price of $99.99. It looks like it has a pretty good heatsink on it too.

Nice find! Now if only Asus would get the AC version of the EA-N66 going.
 
No half-measure there - looks like they went for a full 1300 Mbps support. Nice. :)

Well, maybe 3/4-measure. I notice that it's only PCI-e x1, so it's bandwidth-limited to 250MB/s. Admittedly, that's more than any real-world scenario, but doesn't quite get you to 1300 Mbp/s, even in theory.

250 MB/s * 8 bits = 2000 Mbits. More than enough for 1300 Mbits networking.

Plus, if that's PCI-Express 2.0, you can double the bandwidth, for 4000 Mbits per lane.

Tim, can we assume you're going to give this a good test run for us? :)
 
Looks like the release date has been moved to 12/14/2012. I preordered one tonight to put in my HTPC.
