Hello, i'm new here, i'm from Brazil. My english is not perfect, sorry.
I would like to say, in Brazil, don't have Maximus II formula to sell yet, then i can't buy it.
I'm buying a new computer...
New Config (I already bought all)
CPU: Quad 2 Core Q9450
Mem: 4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800mhz (Cas Latency 4 @ 1.8v)
VGA: Sapphire HD4850 512MB
HD: 500GB Seagate 7200.11RPM 32mb Buffer (NCQ)
DVD-R: Asus 2014L1T
Zalman 460w

I wanna make a cool overclock, to make it perfect.
The Q9450 only have 8 of multiplicator, then ill need a higher FSB.
Ill make something like this: FSB 425 x 8 (Total: 3.4ghz) or, FSB 400 x 8 (Total: 3.2ghz)
[b]I dont will make a crossfire[b]
The computer is for general use, like 30% Games, 30% Multimedia, 40% internet/programs.
And ill let the computer on a lot of time, like 18/hours per day.
Then i wanna a balanced motherboard, to use daily.
At least, but not least:
The new motherboards P45 are on 65nm right? And the X38/X48 are 90nm?

EDIT:
Anyone know a review of P5Q Deluxe vs Rampage Formula?
And a review of Biostar Tpower I45?
It is geared more for gaming and overclocking.
-X48 Chipset ----> 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 , support at full x16, x16 speed
=better Crossfire performance at high resolutions
-includes SupremeFX II Audio Card
-More MOBO fan connector ports
-more "fluff" to overclock
P5Q
-IntelĀ® P45 chipset -----> only one PCIe 2.0 x16
=a little less Crossfire performance at high resolution.
