This has been slightly confusing me, what are the differences between x38 and p45, from what I see the main thing is that x38 supports PCI-E 2.0, is that all or is there something I'm missing?
P45 vs x38
This has been slightly confusing me, what are the differences between x38 and p45, from what I see the main thing is that x38 supports PCI-E 2.0, is that all or is there something I'm missing?
Anyone?

I myself wouldn't be able to tell you anything significant.

Dam, you got me with my own trick.
From the looks of it, x38's main feature is being able to do both PCI-E buses at their full speed for CF.
I ask because I'm now looking at quad core with a 4850/4870 (depending on a few factors) for new comp, and being able to CF would add to future-proofing.
The x38 mobo I'm looking at is the one Chalex has, the Maximus Formula, paired with a Q6600 and a Thermaltake 120 Extreme HS, mainly to get the Q6600 up a bit. It's more or less going to be an updated and cut-down version of Chalex's spec.
Yeah, if you're planning on Xfiring them later, then def go with that MB. If not, the P45 would be better value.
