I talked with some bios engineers of Gigabyte at the last event and main focus was P55 and to support the new clarkdale CPU's and co. I7 will see anew bios lineup to support gulftown and co...
I asked what about P45 and DDR3... you know their 3 letter answer mate : E O L

There might be some new bios but a focus on your particular issues, don't think so... I really hope you can prove me wrong and that you are not fooling yaselves here. But if you don't try you will get nothing...
We all know that it's unlikely that we are going to see new boards based on X48 or P45 but you never know.

Most guys are in the same situation as I am and that means that everything you like you have to pay good money for it. That means if I want to go the X58 or P55 route Ive got to buy a new CPU, board and 3 or 6 GB DDR3 and new watercooling blocks.

Running at stock speeds isn't an option so I probably going to need a second radiator to keep everything cool enough and a new case so I have no problems to build my new rig.

But I also need a SSD drive and a new graphics card.


Hmm... I think I'm going to have to look for a second job if I want to build that rig.


If I was an engineer from Gigabyte or ASUS or whatever other company, I would say the same thing. They need to build new boards but did they ever asked themselves for who they are making these boards?
