Is this not the X48 ?

WJA96 · 14 Jun 2008 at 11:23

I reckon they'll knock £20 off for next week's This Week Only after a few people have posted with overclock results and built up a bit of demand.

5 quid less than the DFI LT, i guess they don't want to stick around europe for too long then.

It was the X38 originally but apparently it is discontinued. The X48 replaces it and highly doubt it costs any more than the X38. Yet this board costs £60 more than the so called X38 board that we never saw.

Oh and don't be so rude. The smiley wasn't aimed at you, it was aimed at Intel for "doing a nvidia" and releasing the same technology with a new name.

Inno3D stealing your motherboards.

If you look closely, and compare those pictures... to this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...X48 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

You will see that the two boards are IDENTICAL. Capacitor for capacitor, the label on the socket, every last detail.

the cost is more than 40% higher, and not in good supply.

duplicated, delete.

As I predicted the low X38 board price was based on X38 being discounted to clear stock, at the time kenofstephen believed this wasent the case but now hes saying there is a 40% price difference.

It makes sense and was predictable.

Not correct. Mine both have a J&W sticker on the Northbridge coolers.

I'm not really sure what your point is? J&W are the original manufacturer, and they sell the board to Inno3D, which is a marketing company. I don't see any issue to be resolved in that?
