Hi, was wondering if anyone knows details about the IX38 quad GT from abit release date. Was thinking of waiting for this moby for my new build instead of the p35. That said now I see x48 is coming out, are these also due around September sometime? What do they offer over x38.

Main reason I'm waiting is to get pci2.0 so I'll be ok for future gfx upgrades...
 
They will just be binned a little higher, overall gains over non binned remain to be seen. Expect slightly increased memory speeds and fsb capabilities, expect a hefty price premium too.

Asus were binning the 680i's for the Striker Extreme, with those not making the grade becoming the SLI Plus boards.

I doubt we will be talking of stellar differences more than 10-20fsb right up top, and around 40-50 mhz on memory, unless the whole fabrication process is enhanced specifically for X48.

Benchmarkers who push systems for the last degree of performance will be those who deem them X48 the most valuable.

For 24/7 systems the outlay is unlikely to show much benefit in real world apps.

regards
Raja
