    Yes it was pricy, but considering I already had 2 Raptor 150's, and was thinking good possibility P35 wouldn't like them. I just was about to pull the trigger on a $300.00 RAID SATA controller to avoid the issue totally. Now I will roll the dice on my Raptors and X38 in RAID using the on board SATA controllers.

    I look at it that I just saved $300.00 bucks in controller money...

    X38 should be a fun ride, and you have to bet on some pony, might as well be the Maximus Formula Special Edition.

    And this one has a cool name, and no funky word on the chip that would be in my TJ09's window!!

    Mine is going under water Fusion block to Fusion block.

    fuzion cpu blocks are great but there are better gpu blocks . you should run your list of parts by everyone and also what you are going to use your rig for . you can save alot of money for cpu and gpu upgrades that will be coming soon .

    like maybe not raptors but Perpendicular Recording 7200.10's . i would take 3x seagates over 2x raptors and save money plus out perform them ...imo

    nice. 300 is a bit much, im done with buying expensive boards.

    gonna wait for the quad gt, may pick it up. Though ddr3 prices are slated to come down in spring 08, so i may just wait till then

    one cool thing about x38 if u already own p35 is, u shouldnt need to do a fresh install to get the board up and running, they both use the same ichr9 controller, and the new p35 chipset drivers also support x38 in the release notes. should be a breeze
