Foxconn Blackops..Worth buying???

[Gravitational24]

I have an ASUS P5q pro at the mo. But I've just seen the foxconn blackops selling for cheaper than my board. Would it be a good idea to ditch my P5Q PRO and switch to this X48 board?? I currently cant get my board past 435 mhz FSB but this board would probably do that right?? I would have to buy ddr3 as well which is more money

And is it worth it as I imagine I would upgrade to newer tech in about 2 years???

If I were you, I'd just wait for the newer Core i7 architecture to become more mainstream and thus more affordable. Your upgrade route should tend towards the X58s.
