Does anyone own this board? If so how do you like it so far? I am more interested in the combo versions (MSI Platinum Combo and the combo version of this one). Can anyone give some input on the issue? I think 2GB of DDR2 or DDR3 at any point will be fine for me, thus the justification for a combo board. Obviously this is somewhat performance dependent when benches are released. Essentially the combo board should run at the same as a DDR2 or DDR3 board right?

Combo,
It would run either DDR2 or DDR3 not have both slots. I think only the lower end MB would have both slots, The higher end MB with DDR3 will not be out for a while

Hmmm is it worth waiting a bit longer for the X38 chipset? If the combo boards are crappy in performance and overclocking do you think it is better to go with a P965 chipset with DDR2 and change over to penryn or K10 next year with DDR3? or is it better to go for the DDR2 P35 board and change to a penryn in a bit. I cant go for DDR3 not because it will be way too expensive
DDR2 prices are sinking faster than a Sopranos FBI informat in the Hudson River, why go with DDR3 now anyway
Once the P35's are available more readily the pricing of the already mature and excellant DS3 will likely also drop

im undecided on which p35 board to get.....its for a new build and thinking of getting a p35 so i can just swap the cpu in a year or so....hoping they really do support the next gen cpus.
Well the price of a good P65 board and the DDR2 P35 gigabyte board are fairly close. Is it worth waiting for the X38? is the only difference the allowance for 2 16x pcie slots?
X38 is being designed as Intel's flagship performance chipset. P35 is P965+ with Penryn support, improved memory performance, better overclocking, and enhanced 1333FSB support.
Hi Gary. Is there an NDA for these boards because they seem to be on sale and reviews have started despite the 21st May launch date?
