i think thats the x38 chipset. x38 replaces the very old but pro 975x =]
the p35 replaces the 965 and g33 replaces 946.


but yer, pcie2 is x38 which hasnt been released yet.

oh, hey, thanks. thats cool. hmmh. i wonder when that'll come out... i also wanna hear about the rd700 (amd's equivalent pcie2.0 mobos)! too bad they're probably NDA'd to hell, if they WERE in fact shown off at Barcelona's thing on the 10th.

yyer... i wouldnt really worry about ati chipsets anymore since the entire new range of p series supports crossfire anyways :D

maybe except for the lower ended ones.. eg g33 and p33 express

well, i'm planning my next build to be a c2d build (logically), so i woulnd't really have to worry about the rd700... i was just curious as to when they'd launch their pcie2.0 answer.

i don't really think 2.0 will be that big of a deal, actually. not yet, anyway. nothing takes off fast enough to make it worth buying pcie2.0 right now (look at dx10, for example). but, if i were building, and there were feasible solutions that offered 2.0, i'd buy it for a little more future proofing. other than that i won't be seeing 2.0 in my system for a WHILE, i think.

I found out several e-tailers are selling the GA-P35-DQ6 already.

A guy I talked to at clubit.com said Intel made them take it off their website but they were still selling it now via phone orders.
It appears to be back up on their website now.

Gigabyte has it up on their website now too.
