    Ok now stupid question but is the formula and rampage the same ??? Like is the x48 just a overclocked x38??? and is it worth me buying a formula for £165 or waiting for a rampage and paying £200 for it when its in stock.

    Its the same board , the diffence is the bios which can be flashed over to the same as the rampage and the x48 is a speed binned x38

    the rampage is expected to be in stock at the end of March, if its worth the extra depends on if you think the speed binned chip is worth the extra 40-50 quid i suppose

    Ok so i could just flash the bios over and have a rampage ? is the speed binned just something in the bios and the chipset is just the same.

    yes it is as easy as just flashing over the bios. the speed binned thing is the northbridge, and is pretty much a fancy seal of approval nothing more. from experience the x38 runs past 1600fsb with ease

    those are some very impressive results! 6 more fsb makes a world of difference!

    @ wilson
    i wouldnt even go so far as to say the x48 is a overclocked x38...
    from what i understand there is no real difference between the 2 except the x48 has the 1600mhz fsb stamp of approval, but as you can see here we are taking the x38 well beyond 1600mhz
