OK, crunch time! I know I want a new rig (current is Intel Bad Axe with ATI X1900XTX), and the 8800 GT IS THE CARD! Question is, should I go for the 680i chipset (which is tailored for the nvidia GPU) or go for the P35/X38.
Chances of SLI are slim to none, so dual graphics is not a consideration.
Also, I dare ask for board recommendations... 
Thanks for all input...
Hmm can the p35 not take 45nm? i thoguht someopne said they could....
And cant most mobos go up to 1333? I dunno im not too hot on mobos.
Mepersonally...i would get a p35 because im noty planning on upgrading my ram for a while.
*edit - Post above wasnt there when i sarted
