Intel Bearlake G35 socket support

I'm planning on buying a very intense system upgrade shortly. I had been planning on picking up an Asus G965 board and a c2d 4300 and overclocking the daylights out of that thing like a celeron 300a, but I have recently heard that Intel is releasing the "bearlake" chipset family shortly. I have googled high and low and I have not been able to figure out if intel will be supporting socket 775 on bearlake so that I can re-use my CPU if I want to simply buy now and upgrade my motherboard later.

So, the question is-- will "bearlake" support socket 775?

and

Any word on a release date for "bearlake" other than "q2 2007"?

also....

since "bearlake" supports ddr3, that means that I must buy ddr3, huh? (and therefore it would be a bad idea to plan on upgrading just the motherboard from a G965 to a g35)


Thanks!
 
I don't think you're going to be overclocking the daylights out of anything on a G965, you need the P965
 
Bah.. Do your upgrade and don't worry about Bearlake..
Fsb 1333 DDR3 support and PCIx 2.0 support.. "Big" news..

Besides that if you want to upgrade later Bearlake has both DDR2/3 memory controllers built in.. So this won't be an issue..
