The end of 775 socket (LGA775)

It's likely or should I say "obviously"? The Intel's P45 Chipset series will most likely be the last LGA775 motherboard that would supports Pentium 4, Pentium D, and Core 2 Duo/Quad. This is not a bad thing, as a matter of fact this just basically means Intel will start focusing more on Nehalem motherboard. Since this will be the last chipset for 775 socket motherboard manufacturers' will put more efforts on enhancing the designs, BIOS, components, and the longevity of the motherboard.

Speaking of longevity if anyone been paying attention to the soon-to-be-released Asus P5Q3 Deluxe which will dedicate 16 PWM to the cpu, 3 for the memory, and 3 for the north bridge! Octo core anyone? :drools:
