I also doubt the same. I tried to find information on this motherboard and seems pretty good. But on Indian sites no mentioning of this board !!

I asked my friend who runs a complete computer hardware shop at Lamington road and they do not know anything about this motherboard! So the motherboard must not be available in India.

thanks Dutta...
i have also been looking for other IGP motherboards...
After some search on internet, i have found that GIGABYTE GA-E7AUM-DS2H is a very good motherboard....
can anyone find its price and availability in india???
