This could go on forever...

This is based on observation and user input. Notice I said 45nm?

Hey Noob, so you have a good cpu And aren't you the one jumping to conclusions because all I see is YOUR claim of success? At least I can make the statement I made because I have made observations; you on the other hand is saying: Look at my success. The X38/48 chipset is superior to the P35 in all respects. Period.

Edit: Oh, I could point to my overclocks too but I'll pass.

You called out Cob on the same thing, you yourself are doing now..... Making a claim based solely on "YOUR claim of success"

Really, the fact that you have SS with all these wondrous OC's using 45nm Quads and the chipsets in question is great, and congrats to you.... However its not helping the general populous of people using them and not having your success, or anywhere near it.... All in all between the various forums theres maybe a dozen X38 users and Q9450/X3350 that have gotten over 3.6ghz.

EDIT: Since you edited your post, X38 isnt doing much better currently with 45nm Quads than P35 is doing....so really its a moot point as to which chipset is better for them.... However if your taking into consideration that you might want PCIE2.0, True PCIE2.0 16x lanes, and hell you just want more BIOS options, then yes the X38/48 are superior....but on the basis of 45nm clocking? Whos to say, there is varied success all over the place right now.
