DDR3 would be the "extreme" models of Maximus, Rampage, & Maximus II. When I checked
Newegg the MII & Rampage for DDR2 were same price. Just seems a waste to not have the
xtra lanes "in case" given same price for both, but certainly both are great mobos.

wound up ordering a Asus Maximums II and a e8600. Love the pin fin cooling on
that MB. way overkill but WTF.
my existing mb has leaking caps and little weird bugs that have been bugging
me. Bad caps was the LAST thing I would of thought of on a fairly new mb. (
less then 2 years)
major jump for me, AMD to intel. AMD will probably now come out with something
better, figure they been watching me :'( could not see no reason to go i7 or
quad core. ( to much heat )
thanks

The main difference is that X48 is X16/X16 crossfire capable but P45 is X8/X8.
Are you a hardcore gamer with a 1920x1200 or above monitor? P45 is newer and
much less expensive.
