Intel Extreme D975XBX2KR BAD AXE or P35 Chipset ?


Was about to buy the Intel Extreme D975XBX2KR BAD AXE motherboard, but have been reading about the P35 chipset. Is it worthwhile waiting for the P35 boards to come out ?

If you can hold off for about another year then yes go for it, but other wise the Bad Axe 2 would be a good choice. The thing is that P35 or Bearlake supports higher FSB natively and PCI-E v2.0 but the as with all things brand new it will cost a lot compared to the actual gains.
