Asus has announced what it claims are the world's first AMD Socket AM2+ motherboards, though the boast rang a little hollow when the company failed to say when the products will be made available.

All it would say was that the boards, part of the existing M2A-VM series, will go on sale "in the near future". It didn't say much about what they'll do, either. The only clues come in the list of mobo model numbers:

• M2A-VM HDMI
• 'Crosshair'
• M2N32-SLI Premium Vista Edition
• M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wi-Fi AP
• M2N32 Professional
• vM2N-SLI Deluxe
• M2N-E SLI
• M2N-E
• M2N-VM DVI
• M2R32-MVP
