X38/x48

i herd that the x48 or x38 isnt very good is this true?

 

[lovely?]

no x38/x48 are very good. its just that for some people, PCI-E 2.0 and DDR3 is not appealing as of yet, so P35 is still great.

 

[computeruler]

does the p35 overclock good? and can you run ddr2 on the x48 or x38?

 

[computeruler]

also the x38/48s seem way out of my budget

I have my Q9450 clocked at 3.4 and very stable on a P5K Premium P35 board, also using 4 gigs of memory.

 

[computeruler]

so the p35 chipset is a good one then? could you overclock it higher then that if you wanted to?

 

[colt1911]

With the Q9450 on air about 3.6 is all I'll get out of it .There are some with a watercooling setup that have reached 3.8 to 4.0. But I'll stick with air cooling for now until I learn more about a water setup.

 

[computeruler]

so p35 it is?
