    Nice review Windwithme, always something to look forward to on the forums . Wouldn't the P35 be a better deal overall since you save ~$70 and achieve the same clock. Is there anything else that the X38 beats the P35 in? Does P35 have DDR3/Crossfire support?

    16 + 16 pci-e 2.0 on the x38 and 16 + 4/8 pci-e 2.0 on the p35 i beleive...

    an added bonus is the lack of heatpipe

    Motherboardpro has it listed, but out of stock

    DFI's website has it listed, but page is still under construction.

    I am sure it will become more available, in DFI's own sweet time

    arg, you mean its got the problem where you need to stick some crap ram in to set the bios then change your ram to ballistix? or (someone will confirm?) will it work with ballistix strait off the bat? (i have 4 sticks of it! )
