thx...looks like ddr2 will be a more realistic option until something happens to ddr3 prices
wonder why asus still insist on sticking the ROG metal sticker on SB...they shud just make fins/pins like the NB n PWM's...for those using inverted casings ie LL..the SB gets very warm
*
SB not so hot as NB... ASUS want to show their product identity that way... coz NB pre-applied with water colling block, no space to place the sticker

maximus formula hv bout same spec with maximus extreme, just formula for ddr2 and only hv 2 pci-e 16x compare 3 on extreme, sli... maybe after new reversion or new chipset (no one know the truth)

sorry for my noob question....
izzit recommended to get ati gc over nvdia since x38 are featured with AMD crossfire technology
is there any cons if i use nvdia gc on these board?
nop... unless u wanna crossfire, u need 2pcs ati vga (same model) coz x38 just support crossfire, not nvidia sli, if u wanna use single nvidia card it will be fine

so far there are no gc hv true physix capabilities, no vga support havok fx api... btw, read some romur that intel in the way to buy havok, but don't know true or not... if true maybe physix will be embedded in intel proc..
