Official ASUS X38 Boards: P5E, P5E3 - Info/BIOS Thread

won't that come out in early 2008?

ya...supposedly. Which is why i'm gonna wait. My QX6700 clocks higher than the ES Penryn I have so there's no need for me to upgrade in Nov.

This is what i've spent in the last 2 week:

Asus P5E3 $369
4GB GSkill DDR3 $1K
2x ATI 2900XT 1GB $1K
Thermaltake 1200W PSU $340

Total $2709

My bank account is telling me that i should wait a little bit

ya the QX9650 is sooooo tempting right now.

but stock 1600FSB on the QX9770 is 133t status!

Plus the TDP for both proc's are the same!
