Intel’s new X38 chipset sweeps aside the elderly 975X and storms to the front of the queue as the natural choice for anyone building or upgrading a Core 2 Duo, Quad or Extreme PC. In essence, the X38 is a souped-up P35 with added support for the next-gen 1600MHz frontside bus (FSB) as well as Intel’s 45nm 'Penryn'.
As things …
Worth noting that the Asus "Extreme" boards use DDR3, whereas the "Formula" boards use DDR2. Asus haven't opted to stick with DDR2 exclusively, they're offering consumers the choice - although there are subtle differences in board layouts between the Formulas and Extremes.
