is this coming soon... is it worth waiting for over a p35/x38 mobo..

and is there somewhere to see the differences between p45 and x48? what is the advantage of p45 or is there any. the only thing i seem to be able to find is the support for true duel pcie but they both run at 8x instead of one at 16x and one at 4x.. correct??

i was about to buy a mobo but these seem to be due out in a couple weeks.

will prices of the p35/x38 high end mobo's fall or will they simply sell the 45/48 series at higher prices till the p35/x38 boards are gone??

just not sure i can justify the 250$ i was about to spend on a mobo when a new chipset is supposed to be out in a few weeks.. someone help?

i have searched online but seems to be so many mixed things said and maybe no one really knows yet?

it seems the only real advantage of x48 is the native 1600fsb support where x38 can do this but its not "meant" to correct? or did i miss somethings that makes x48 that much better over x38??

thanks

Im in a similar position as you atm.. thou ive cleared my mind and im definitely waiting for the asus rampage board...
I would be feeling bad if i shove ~$300 today for x38 and in just a month or so theres x48 out....
