Q6700, P5Q-E... 500 fsb quad

[Zucker2k]

This board could be the next P5K, if they can fix the PL issues.

That is the whole secret right there. It's a trade up. You could tell from the everest bandwidth tests how loose the PL is. As you can see from the ss below, I get better RAM bandwidth at 7x500 on X38 than he does with the p45 at 8x500 at the same frequency even with 5-5-5 timings.
