After Intel launched P35 chipset, X38 is the one they declared the highest model.
If only compares the specification P35 and X38, the X38 seems a step higher than P35.
But after my lab test, the P35s OC performance is a bit better than X38
Although there are some rumors on the internet that X38 and X48 is almost the same,
but X48 is something good after sorting. Anyhow, X48 is the highest-end chipset in 2008,
which is the utmost chipset that supports PCIe-2.0 and PCIe x16.
As the case of P35 and X38 motherboard, X48 should be having both DDR2 and DDR3 version.
Although the price of DDR3 module is decreasing since 2008, but DDR2 module is still the best-buy product in the market.
In my personal opinion,
DDR2 is still the mainstream product in market for the moment.
This time, I got DFI LANParty DK X48-T2RS for a test.
The Dark(DK) series, almost has the same capability in overclocking and incorporates with quality component.
The Price is just around USD$230(more or less)
The package is just keeping the same, the black style.
The accessories
Cables, menus, quick installation guide, drivers CD and IO shield.
A close look of DFI LANParty DK X48-T2RS
The lower left of the board:
2X PCI-EX16(Support 2.0 mode, CorssFire x16 + x16)
1X PCI-EX4
3X PCI
Realtek ALC885 audio codec with 8channels.
The lower right,
1 x Floppy
6 x SATAII (ICH9R)
SB by ICH9R support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 0+1 and RAID 5
Built-in Power/Reset button and debug LED, such a handy function.
The upper right,
1X IDE
4X DIMM DDR2 support 667/800/1066
24PIN power-input
The upper left,
The board incorporates 4-phase digital PWM and VRM11 power input, then,
the extra 16 Mosfet are enough to take care the latest Quad core CPU in market.
IO part
6 x USB2.0 ports
1 x Gigabit LAN
Red Jumper is the clear CMOS
DK incorporates with a new type heat sink.
Its not that big, so the other heat pipe or cooler in the same board will not be get stuck by each other.
It is useful in the way.
