Anyone know of a chipset comparison for the newer Intel chipsets? I found a X38/48 compare but I'd like to see also 680i, 780i, P35 etc. and some of the pros and cons of each (i.e. 680i & 780i chipsets run HOT, X38/X48 less so but can be more temp sensitive). I haven't kept up with the Intel chipsets so I'm a little behind the times. This would be a good guide!
Other info I have found:
> X38/48 chipsets do not support NVIDIA SLI
> 680i chipsets do not support the 45nm processors
> 780i supposedly supports 45nm dual cores but not quad cores.

Re: Intel Chipsets
X48 only supports DDR3
X38 is "high-end"
P35 is cheaper and just as good as X38
6/780i have trouble overclocking quad and 45nm CPUs
Basically, P35 is, IMO, the best choice. If you can afford to consider a X48 board, I'm assuming money isn't an issue so the DFI LanParty P35 board would be a very good choice.

Re: Intel Chipsets
I may end up going with the Asus Maximus Formula SE. We'll see. I still have a month before I can get my CPU so it does no good for me to buy stuff and have it sit.
