Most of the ones I have read basically say "It's like a sorts car with the handbrake left on".

Sticking to the P35 chipset here until the x38 chipset has been around for a while and more mature BIOS updates are available.

Re: The new Intel X38 Chipset reviewed

I just skimmed through the article at The Tech Report. $300 for a motherboard. Whoa, that is too rich for me. I can't see it being that much better than my budget build using P35.

Re: The new Intel X38 Chipset reviewed

X35 looks good on paper.

1600Mhz FSB, Quad core, Penryn compatible, PCI-E 2.0, DDR3
Oh well most of it looks good.

Sidenote:
Love the name of the newer Intel Chipsets to be launched next.
Skulltrail. Just got to get one to put in a signature.

Yeppo
And I don't usually have a tendency to cross-grade either ... I feel it's a tad of a waste of money to gain just a few performance points.

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.

Re: The new Intel X38 Chipset reviewed

Yay! It officially supports unreleased CPU's.
In contrast to existing - proven tech - that unofficially supports unreleased CPU's.

Just what I've always wanted
