These GB based Nforce chipsets are brand spanking new, I have looked around a bit on the web and I can only see 1 motherboard maker with a motherboard out based on them and thats for the Nforce3 Gb version http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=572 Probably be a few more weeks or maybe a month or 2 before you can buy a motherboard based on this chipset.
