My 2x2GB PC6400 Corsair just arrived from OcUK, the parts are falling into place. As soon as this board comes out I'll order it with a Q6600.

Production will be within this month, so ETA should be March.
Fantastic 
Looking forward to see how this board does, shame it couldn't be in Feb, but prefer the product to be better produced first time round.
Will the X48 board, be identical to the X38 but just with the X48 chipset?

Well considering in a months time competition from Gigabytes low end X38 will probably be £110-£120 inc VAT, I guess pricing will be based from there. I want a P45 but I don't know if I can wait long enough, so a X38 might have to make do

Said samething days ago

£129.24p
No point waiting or thinking
Of course once we start seeing 99 quid mobos using pciexpress 2.0 things will be good, its a shame the P65/75 series didnt get an update revision to support pciexpress 2.0.
Theres some lovely P35 board out there with crossfire/2 pciexpress slots for 60ish quid which is excellent buy still, but shame no pciexpress 2.0 not that it makes a difference anyhow but good to have.

Its less of the PCIe 2.0 more of the electrically 16+4 combo I'm more concerned about. No point thinking or waiting? well its more of the fact I know that it will be priced competitively regardless if the gigabyte is £129, might mean this is cheaper
Is there any idea of the feature set yet? I'm very interested in this board since I am looking for PCI-E 2.0, but I want to make sure it has RAID on.
Certainly like the sound of this board, hope its ready for the Q9450 on the 10th

If you mean the IP35-Pro, then no, it doesn't.

But X38 boards have been available from £120 for months now. I only paid £125 delivered for mine not long after launch.
