I think I'll be holding out until some of the other boards come out. DFI and Foxconn, where are you?

DFI is seemingly always late to the party with a killer BAMF board. I can wait.

I've got the hots for the Foxconn Blood Rage. It'll let me keep my 775 HSF and will hopefully own face like their P45 board does.

It's my understanding that we should start to see Westmere by Q4 2009. I'll burn through a handful of GPUs by then, but I think the Q6600 will continue to serve me well.

Westmere isn't scheduled until mid 2010, with volume shipments by the end of the year.
