    Is there that much of a difference between the P35,X38 and X48 chipsets?

    Isn't Intel coming out with a completely new socket for Nehalem at the end of this year?

    I can build it for 1/4th the price.  Intel comes out with a motherboard incompatible for using older processors, and is needed by newer processors every 6 months.  The only difference is they keep the same basic socket architecture.

    So a follow up question would be, would an E8400 (wolfdale) hold me over for a few years?
