I was considering moving to X48 in the coming weeks in anticipation of a 45nm quad-core upgrade (currently running a 65nm quad-core part at 3.2GHz on P35), but I think I'm going to hold off on the mobo move until P45. P45 sports ICH10R, which supposedly has 10GbE, and likely will do a better job overclocking the 45nm QC's. It's due out in June.
The real problem is that the new Yorkfield series use a 1333QDR FSB, meaning that the multipliers are lower than the current Kentsfield. That means I'll need something likely capable of 475MHz+ FSB 24/7...that isn't P35 or X38, and likely not X48. P45 I think gives me the best chance at a high FSB to push to 4GHz. :) I wouldn't touch 780i with a 20 foot pole.
