Looks like IP45 is analogue.
That's right. Wonder why so many people believe the IP35 Pro has digital PWMs?! I mean it's very easy to spot... boards that use digital PWM have one (Abit) or two (DFI) phase/pulse chips and not those square blocks (one per phase).

IP35 - 4 phase analog
AB9 QuadGT/IN9-32X max/IX38 - all 5 phase digital pwm
IP45 Pro - 8 phase analog

Beware of the IX38 though, my Q6600 killed two of them within a month because they can't hold the current, an Abit rep. inofficially told me at Cebit that the board was designed for a max of ~80A drawn. Of course, my Q6600 was way above that (as is any overclocked 65nm quad, for that matter), I think it drained 126A according to the µguru reading which is actually quite accurate.

About the IP45 Pro, I think it's perfect. If they took the IP35 pro, made only small adjustments to bios and pimped the power circuitery and cooling, then this mobo is gonna rock.
The IP35 pro is one of the very few mobos out there that really work flawlessly, something that is hard to find in today's market.
