Totally agree,
nice layout should be a good motherboard.
Just would like to know when the release date will be.
I contacted Foxconn UK yesterday and I am just waiting for a reply.
So why is x38 better than p35 what is the seller here ? anyone want or need 2x 16xpci slots ?.The ABIT IX38 QuadGT looks like it may be the best again abit are back in a big way imo first the quad gt then ip35 pro hopefully next the ix38 quad gt.

Yeah looks like the overtake of Abit by another company seems to have turned them around, they are producing killer boards at the moment and I'm also hoping the X38 range is just as good / better than the previous boards. P35 and X38 aren't that much different, most X38 boards seem to aim at DDR3 whilst P35 has a much better mix. X38 also offer 2 - 3 16x PCI-E lanes whilst P35 only has 2, and only at 16x / 4x. Not sure of the other differences but apparantly they are near enough the same. I did hear that P35 was the mainstream chipset and X38 was meant to be the upgraded P35 offering high-end stuff, which it does I guess (such as the PCI-E lanes).
There is also of course PCI-E 2.0 spec and DirectX 10.1 on the X38, unlike the P35.
Guess it will be 965 or 975 all over again.....some wins, some losses.....horses for courses......chalk and cheese (might be getting a bit tenuous here !)
For me, I don't have much a reason to swap to P35, except perhaps 45nm compatibility.....possibly - in the future - X38 will be made worthwhile through PCI 2.0....and all P35 has to offer.....but price could well be a factor ! In the end, maybe it will really only be worth changin voer when DDR3 becomes more established, by which time likely that both P35 and X38 are old hat !
