I really doubt X38 will be able to go so high like P35 goes. The two PCI-E lines 16x and the enhanced memory controller make it much more hot.
I'm expecting ~480Mhz FSB in average.

Price seems good to me, particularly when compared to overhyped Asus boards. Its good to see DFI get it out with what is minimal delay but max R&D. When you consider how Asus release ROG and Giga release v1. v2. v3. boards its seems very cynical. Let the market bug shoot any issues and then release a new board with all issues resolved but a put a fancy name and a premium price.
Kudos to DFI
Im a little uncertain about the heat pipe deal but I assume its there for a reason.
I asked Oskar about PCI Express probelms and he said P35 only has 16X+4X+NC or 16X+1X+1X.
And BOX write NV Raid is not correct. 6XSATA are ICH9R and 2XSATA Raid are JMicron JMB363.
My thoughts exactly
I really wonder about ppl saying the price is too high (any price is too high for some ) for this board when Anus are charging MORE for their top end boards
I dont see many ppl spamming those threads (Anus) with OMG its just tooo expensive arrrgh what a rippoff ohhhh sell the 'kin kids and STFU
lots and lots of cores and lots and lots of tuners,HTPC's boards,cases,HDD's,vga's,DDR1&2&3 etc etc all powered by Corsair PSU's

the 3rd PCIe slot only for PHysX card IMHO
when i think about it, that's very true. i don't think i ever complain about the asus boards and how expensive they are...
but i think the thing that keeps me from complaining is the availability of their other boards...
as much as many people hate asus, think about one of the more successful p965 boards... the P5B deluxe... how many people still use this board today and think about when it was released... just my 0.02.
despite the price tag, i'm sure the DFI P35 will be an amazing board.

If DFI was selling as many boards as Asus, then the price would probably be lower. The volume on some of this high end stuff just isn't enough to make it cost any less, and like Tony said you more or less get what you pay for anyway.

The market has a funny way of adjusting itself.....e.g. PS3....(go figure that )
The DFI looks great but will it really provide leaps better performance than, say, a $120 ABit IP35?
I would rather do an IP35 + 8800 GTX = $600 than T2R + 8800 GTS 320 = $560....but that's just me........
What would the real world performance differences be?
