vegettoxp Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 You mean the X48 Chipset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Yup, but board layout will be the same, so we already know how they are going to look like . I would not buy a “half-finished” chipset now; that’s for the people that want a new motherboard and can’t wait...--- EDIT ---I forgot to post: Gigabyte´s GA-X38-DQ6 .

nmX.Memnoch Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Mmmmmmm....X38 Naa, next chipset is neat, skip this one .There's always a "next" something. I generally skip a generation. My current motherboard is 965 based and my current video card is a 7900GT based card. It'll soon be time to ugprade both. Although, strictly speaking the P35 and X38 are technically the same generation, but my current motherboard is about a year old and I've got some other systems that need upgrading so one of them will get mine and I'll get a new X38 based motherboard.

puntoMX Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Remember that we are just some months away from the X48, and you know that... Why would you take a X38 then? Just to have AMD´s Crossfire support and PCI-E 2.0 in those 2 slots? Also remember that the 4x and 1x are connected to the Southbridge so those will still be PCI-E 1.0/1.1...

nmX.Memnoch Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Remember I said I have some other systems that need to be upgraded? I roll my upgrades. My machine always has the newest/fastest parts and the other machines get my parts when I upgrade. I also said I "generally" skip a generation...but sometimes I don't.

puntoMX Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Just to have AMD´s Crossfire support...Skip that, even the P35 can do that .nmX.Memnoch, you of all freaks on the board, why not wait for the X48 and just skip 2 generations for the first time of your life? Or you are just keeping something from us that we don’t know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) you of all freaks on the boardWhat's your point? why not wait for the X48 and just skip 2 generations for the first time of your life?Because I can afford to get both? Or you are just keeping something from us that we don’t know?No, I'm pretty sure by now you all know I'm a hardware junkie. I just got a brand new Dell PowerEdge 2950* at work today...and the very first thing I did? Disassembled it. *The new box is 2xQuad-Core Xeon X5355 2.66GHz, 8x1GB DDR2-667 FB-DIMMs, 8x73GB 15K RPM 2.5" SAS drives, redundant PSUs and integrated SAS RAID controller. All that in a 2U chassis.

Well, you need to know with what you are dealing when you use it! Reminds me of new VGA cards and mobos that came in; You can’t sell it without seeing what is hiding behind cooling blocks and other metal or plastic protectors, eg. housings .
