Hi all.
Could you please inform me for the intel chipsets that are now on the market?
I am still in the P35 era, when it was about the X38 to come out.
What is next?Whats the main improvements?

Id like to buy a decent mobo (with DDR2) for a E7300 (need it for games too) and dont know which chipset i should use.
Thanks in advance.

P4x for mid range, G4x for graphics, X48 for the high end. You should be looking at P45 motherboards.

Until Nehalem is out and not so over priced that it costs 2X what a high end system costs today. I would say stick with your P35. I have a working E8400 on an Abit AB9 Pro. I know that I can get a small bump in memory speed with a P35 or P45 but the bang for buck just is not there.
Now if you want to go cross fire that's another thing altogether.
