ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[Nuckin_Futs]

Hey Guys, just wanted to give you an update. I ordered the Asus Maximus Formula SE this morning and it should me here in couple of days. I am glad that I finally ordered it. Because after reading bit-tech quick preview of X48 Chipset, my opinion on X48 is that, it's not worth the wait. Stick with X38. My Grand Total for the MB is $280.49. Once again thx for all the help guys!

Any Good Recommendations for Memory Modules for SE?

P.S. Fusion

Just to add, X48, although being newer and a higher model number, is not necessarily any different for us overclockers anyways. X48 only really makes official claim specs to FSB 1600 and DDR1600. DDR3 based X38's do that with ease already, it's called overclocking. X48 looses true ECC DDR support.

It looks more like X48 may just be another chipset stepping stone (like P35 to X38) till something new and improoved coems for Nehelam support w/ modern DDR3 and ICH10R and new Intel integrated MCH on chip for end of next year, or early '09.
