Asus P5WD2 Premium "Bundle" Question

It mentions that that P5WD2 Premium comes with the "optional" combo wifi/ TV
tuner card with bundled versions.

Is bundled referring to the retail packaged box like from NewEGG?

TIA,

Jeff

This page mentions there are two SKUs but does not give the numbers:
http://cz.asus.com/products/mb/socket775/p5wd2-p/overview.htm

"Available SKU:
P5WD2 Premium
P5WD2 Premium/ WiFi-TV Edition"

The Asus USA SKU list only has one entry for the board,
so it could be that the WiFi-TV gadget is a little late
coming on the scene. Perhaps you could phone them or
something.

On this page, you can see what the optional card looks like.
I expect there is a crate of them on a container ship somewhere...

Well, one indicator is the Intel pricelist:

http://www.intel.com/intel/finance/pricelist/

I figured, to get the best delivery time, pretend to buy a
Dell 🙂 If I "customize" a Dell Precision 380 and ask for

Intel Pentium Processor EE 840, 3.20GHz, DC, 2X 1MB L2, 800MHz [add $1,230]

the web page returns:

Delay Time = 25 days.

That means you'll be seeing them a month from now, in small
quantities.

In a quick check, I don't see them listed anywhere else.
