All this upgrade talk makes me want to dump my Crossfire X1950 Pros, and pickup an XFX or eVGA 8800GTX tomorrow.

Oh man... can't believe I'm even contemplating this right now....

R700 is just around the corner.... btw did you guys see no more GT/PRO/XT/XTX tags? The last 2 digits of the model will dictate its performance level.

yeah I dont think the -35 is much against the X38 chipset but god damn are these p35's easy to overclock and muck around with! highly impressed with intels chipsets lately as i've been an nvidia chipset fanboy in my previous years =) (nforce2,3,4,etc)
