I beleve you are right, the x38 was I think designed for DDR3. I saw a pic of your rig about 8 weeks ago on this thread, and was impressed.
I will be pooting mine together this week when the last of the parts I ordered arrive. Will be using Qx6850.
Case: Gigabyte 3D Mercury
CPU: QX6850
Mem: Kingston KHX6400D2ULK2/2G (2 Kits) 4g total 3-3-3-12
Board: Maximus Formula Rev.3
GPU: 2 Saphire 2900xt's
HDD: 2 W/D Raptor X's
I have been reserching the maximus threads for a while before I made my decission, I opted to get the non SE board because it sais Rev.3 on the board right next to Maximus Formula, and I hope this Rev. solved the glitches I have been seeing; So I pulled of the imitation copper, and installed my own water cooling on it. I used the Koolance CH-120 on the NB, the CH-120-V06 on the SB, and 2 VR-AS40 coolers for the mofset memory. I also used Koolance VID-290 coolers for the video cards.
If this revised board buggs out on me like the others did, I am going to go with the Maximus extreme, and get DDR3




X38 issue?
