In their article, ASUS P5E3 Deluxe: X38 and DDR3 arrives... almost, Anandtech takes an early look at a new motherboard from Asus based on the x38 shipset from Intel with ddr3 memory. Due to some quality testing issues the x38 isn't ready for broad release right now and has been pushed back to mid October so this article isn't based on the final product, merely a mostly final product.

Whats impressive is the performance gains ddr3 has made. Before there was little reason to buy it but this board is showing improved performance compared to ddr2.
