[ntvh]

Hi,
I read about chipset X38 replace for 975x on recent MB, So what chipset for the ASUS Blitz Extreme ? what is the Intel® P35/ICH9R with Intel® Fast Memory Access Technology? is it better than X35??? :confused: Please show me the light.....not Budlight.:rofl: :D

Thank you

Well probably nothing.

Intels last chipset for 775 was X38/binned X48 as far as I know, anything new will probably be built around Nehalem? Socket H with 715pins. I could be wrong though, and have not heard much about any 775 stuff post X38/48.

And P35 (which is what the blitz extreme is) was the successor to P965 chipset, which coincided with the 975X chipset which has now been replaced by the X38.

So that mean I should not buy the ASUS Blitz Extreme because still base on the old tech???:(

ide go for the maximus so that u would get pci-e2 for future upgrades since thats prity much teh only difference between the p35 and x38

ASUS Blitz Extreme does have pci-e2, right?

Should I wait for further MB or buy the ASUS Blitz Extreme??? Thank you for your advice.

[zanzabar]

the blitz has pci-e1 with 8x8 crossfire and the x38 has pci-e2 16x16 or 16x16x4 crossfire or 16x8x8x4 crossfire

So I should cancel the order for Asus Blitz extreme and wait or buy some thing else with X38 ( go for PCI-e2). :D . Do you know which one have the X38? Thank :D

PS: How about this one Asus P5E3 Deluxe / Wifi-, Would it be better than the Blitz ectreme?? Thanks
