I was planning to buy a Socket AM3+ board for my CPU upgrade.

I searched high and low in Bangalore (SP Road) for this. Looks like I was the first person to ask about AM3+, they were getting educated on AMD planning to release new processors this year :-o .

Anyone in Bangalore who has found a AM3+ board?
[Need a physical purchase, do not like buying computer components online]

Please provide me:
Where to buy Socket AM3+ board in Bangalore?
Model you bought?
Price?


Other info:
Model I know about:
Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H (rev 3.1 is AM3+)
BUT was not able to get any shop to tell me the revision of the board, so resorted to asking them to look for AM3+ on the box. Was thoroughly disapointed.

P.S.
I already filled in the buying template and got good advice. Only sticking point is my AM3+ craze ;)

Looked by April 2011 buying guide and got good advice there also.

AM3+ motherboards haven't yet arrived in India. You'll have to wait more.
