[Lansan]

hi all, i am new here...
i would like to ask something..(correct me if i am wrong)
i planning to buy a motherboard..now dont know want to choose which one from P35 and X38 based motherboard..which one should i take for that,(p35 or X38)??
Is it the PCIE 2.0 on X38 board give more advantages than P35 ? (can show the reference if got)
And 1 more is about DFI motherboard,what different between LTX38 and UTX38 ??

thank you for replying...

Main reason you should pick the X38 over the P35 will be CROSSFIRE

If you dont have plans for this, P35 is good enough

Also far as rumors go, the UT will be EOL

291.99$. Ouch! Maybe I'll wait for X48 then.

ouch? you make it sound like the x48 will be cheaper

it will be a higher premium on that chipset w/out any
big performance increase to justify it over x38

So... There won't be any reason for manufactures to use the X48 then? Think I'll wait for more results to come in on the X48 before plunking down 300$.

im pretty sure that the x48 is electrically identical to the x38, at least i heard that at one point, anyone have any insight?

[sonicsallen]

looking forward to more test.

get your boards quick! I want to see the results and I love the layout!

X48 is just a binned X38. For no extreme OC (and I mean extreme ) and no DDR3, I think X48 is totally pointless.

Some results please!!

[lazy]

it really sad that the one person who has had this board for nearly a week hasnt posted and further results

Guess when we out our boards, we will have to test it out ourselves

you dont need to wait x48 will be 350$ lol
you think thats expensive lol i paid 225$ for a crappy p35 board
and the p35-ut is 260$
x38 can be a monster board with right bios

Maybe the X38-T2R will be 200$ by then, hehe. I just can't believe the price of mobo's these days + it seems like there's a new chipset every couple of months now. My 965 has served me well but I'd like to get some newer tech for wolfdale and maybe the option of crossfire ta boot.

if i waited for my p35c i woulda paid 50$ less but i dont like waiting
but then i woulda bought a p5k if i woulda waited 1 more week
if i waited 2 more months i woulda got the p35-ut
i almost bought the p35-ut now i wait for his big brother

i remember paying 300+ for a p4c-800-e-deluxe and that was years ago loved that board funny i used it for 2 years n sold it for 300 on ebay lol

dont wait too long time passes by fast prices drop but by the time prices drop something better comes along

buy it enjoy life too short
