Just wondering if there are any intel crossfire boards in the works that support 16x pcie bandwidth on both slots? Seems to be current boards are dual 8x or one 16x one 4x. :confused:

Intel X38, within the next couple of months i think. the lastest RD incarnation also does 16x/16x (or 8x/8x/8x/8x!) which is likewise out soon.

So the x38 also supports the new 1333fsb as well? Think i'll be snagging one if thats the case.

1333FSB is supported by a load of P965 and like gen mobos, in the case of the 1333FSB C2Ds like the 6x50 series.

Whether the newer P965s support the soon to arrive Penryn is a matter for speculation, some say yes, but they wont get to use all the power features, some say no.

The X38 will almost deff support Penryn.
