GA-X38-DQ6 and the GA-X38T-DQ6.
http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view....=6&id=2315&pg=1
september release
now lets guess how much will this board be hmm.gif

Abit
http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/5410_large_abitx38.jpg

for more other x38board:

asus, biostar, dfi, gigabyte, MSI, foxconn seems like MSI has 4 16x pcie slot
http://www.dailytech.com/Intel+X38+Express...article7543.htm

QUOTE
Biostar is preparing the TX38D3-A7 Deluxe with three PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. Two of the PCIe 2.0 x16 slots operate at full speed while the third slot has four lanes. Biostar also adds one PCIe x1 and two PCI slots into the mix. The TX38D3-A7 also features onboard power and reset buttons for the tweaking-inclined.

DFI has two X38 Express-based models in the pipeline - the LANParty X38-T2R and the X38-T3R. The two models differ in the memory support department. The LANParty X38-T2R supports DDR2-800 memory while the X38-T3R supports DDR3-1333. The upcoming X38-T2R and X38-T3R feature genius BIOS and CMOS Reloaded technologies. New to the LANParty X38-T2R and X38-T3R is the DFI Bernstein 8-channel theater-level audio solution.

Foxconn has the X38A on display with three PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. There are also two PCIe x1 and two PCI slots. The Foxconn X38A supports DDR3 and DDR2 memory on the same board. There are four DDR3 and two DDR2 memory slots. Users can only install DDR2 or DDR3, not both at the same time.

Gigabyte is taking the same route as DFI, with two X38 Express based motherboards - the GA-X38T-DQ6 and GA-X38-DQ6. Both boards have similar feature sets, with the GA-X38T-DQ6 offering DDR3 support while the GA-X38-DQ6 supports DDR2. Gigabyte takes DDR3 further than other manufacturers by claiming support for DDR3-1600 memory. Gigabyte has opted to equip its GA-X38x-DQ6 motherboards with two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. New to the Gigabyte X38 Express-based motherboards is the Realtek ALC889A high-definition audio codec, offering a 106dB signal-to-noise ratio.

Intel also plans to join in on the X38 Express festivities with the successor to the D975XBX2 BadAxe2. The new DX38BT Bonetrail features three physical PCIe 2.0 x16 slots. The DX38BT is one of the few enthusiast X38 Express motherboards currently on the Computex show floor without an elaborate heat-pipe cooling setup. Instead, Intel sticks with a simple aluminum cooler.

Lastly is MSI with the X38 Diamond. MSI manages to squeeze four physical PCIe 2.0 x16 slots into the X38 Diamond. Two of the PCIe 2.0 x16 slots are full-speed while the other two slots are half-speed. MSI also squeezes in support for DDR2-800 and DDR3-1333 memory on the same board.

Gosh...check out the neat rows of PWM's....lol....certainly looks pretty beefy...12 phases...wow

"As a 'DQ6' motherboard, expect the same 6-Quad features such as 12-phase PWM. The GA-X38-DQ6 will also feature all the new Ultra Durable 2 componenets as well. Notice how 'normal' the heat-sink setup looks on the board however, in comparison to all the previous boards that have ever took on the 'DQ6' suffix"

Probably more than that. Expect around RM1300. I see the trend of letting the high-end board price tag more than 1k is rather intimidating.

That, and the northbridge/southbridge heatpipes/coolers.

That's what I'm afraid of. Apparently, the upcoming penryn family of CPUs may need these 12-phase feature although it is claimed that the P35 mobo's can support penryn when it comes out..... I just ordered my P35... rclxub.gif

You misunderstood something.
P35 is a mid end chipset.
While X38 is a high end chipset.

X38 isn't an upgrade from P35. smile.gif

Now, this is at least much better looking than the previous P35 DQ6. No more enormous amount of bulky chipset coolers for now. Very neat one from Gigabyte..

The word SLi being repeated number of times in that preview. It looks like Nvidia finally giving up SLi to Intel together supporting it, but still I'm very skeptical about it.

IIRC, P35,G33 and X38 chipset have been announced together few months before... P35 is an upgrade from P965, but can we say that X38 is an upgrade from 975X too? wink.gif

But I just curious, why Intel don't name G33 as G35? P35 and G33 not much different, rite? Just G33 chipset will come with a built-in graphic? Too much chipset on the market, confusing.... rclxub.gif

but lol compare the p35 dq6 againts giga n680i which has insane 4 RJ45 lol i hope giga really can add at least another rj to x38...well it seems come true

Kinda waste of resource and I bet most of users don't fully utilize all 4 ports.
