You are right about the PCI-e, I'm sure. I was only stating the difference between two PCI-e @ x16 (iX38) and two PCI-e x16+x4 (iP35). My head is hurting just trying to keep up with all the versions, steppings, revisions, families, specs,...,... I DON'T need two PCI-e x16! Actually I don't...

Those speeds are "targets". And, as with all targets, one can either hit or miss, with various degrees success. Hence the intervals. From what I read around, any of the bottom speeds are feasible, with competent air-cooling and slight overvoltage. Anything above those will be pure net gain...

Only the iX38 chipset has two full fledged PCI-e 2.0 (x16) lanes, although the new iP45 has support for two PCI-e 2.0@x8. Both the Pro and the Pro-EX have two PCI-e 1.0 (x16+x4). . But I don't think I will ever use the CrossFire platform. Unless I start working in 3D modeling, or if future...

I was wondering what the differences between the IP35 Pro and Pro-EX were, exactly. Besides "color schemes". Quite frankly, can't seem to justify another ?9 (US$14) for OTB 1600MHz support and purrdy heatsinks. Even if it, indeed, looks even more "kick ass" than the old PRO. Regarding the...

Hi! I'm building a new computer to be used mainly for video encoding, photo editing, web browsing and, time permitting, some gaming. The aim a very stable, substantially OCed system (though not X-treeem!...), to be determined by CPU choice and, of course, MoBo. It'll run WinXPpro/SP2 x86...
