Editorial: Intel X48 is a horrible idea
 

The problem is the X48 chipset, quite possibly the second best chipset not on the market yet.

It is a minor, and I mean minor revision to the otherwise excellent X38 chipset. The added 10 merely brings you from a 1333FSB to 1600FSB. It is otherwise the same part, one look at the mobos that have the X38 sticker hastily crossed out and the name X48 written in will tell you that.
