From the current lineup, really, everything over the P35 seems kinda
pointless to me...
DDR3 is just not cost effective, and PCI-E 2.0 is... well, by the time
it actually matters, the board will be long obsolete anyway.
Personally I'm all about the Asus P5K-E series

I presume I want the X38 or X48 to be in the same Extreme desktop
board group that my Badaxe 975 was?? :)
