Next Intel Chipset?

Hi all,

Does any one know anything about the next intel chipset?

the P35 looks good but it doesnt have PCI-E 2.0 and the south bridge bottlenecks HDD performance...

the OcUK IP35 Pro doesnt state that it has pci-e 2.0 support?

P35 doesn't do PCI-E 2.0, but 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.1

Anyway, the P35 replacement will be the P45.

It will have PCI-E 2.0 and 8x/8x Crossfire slots (instead of 16x/4x).
