Which would you choose?
Intel P45 is cheaper and comes with the ICH10R southbridge. It also uses less power and runs cooler
Intel X48 is more expensive, older, and only comes with the ICH9R. It does however have more performance potential, greater overclocking ability, true Crossfire support with duel PCI-E 2.0 x16 lanes and generally better specced designs.
Thoughts?
I'm split between the two although the price is a big plus for the P45 boards.
