P35 PCIE-2.0 Support

[asoccerplayer99]

I am about to build a new rig based around a Q6600 G0, and was wondering if it is worth waiting for the X38-based mobos to be released (presumably early-mid September as I saw elsewhere on these forums). The main thing I'm looking at is PCIE-2.0 support - don't want to be left in the dust with a P35 if they don't support it.

I found this article through a Yahoo search:
http://www.netscape.com/viewstory/2007/06/21/p35-supports-pci-express-20/?url= http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bit-tech.net%2Fnews%2F2007%2F06%2F06%2Fp35_supports_pcie_2%2F1& amp;frame=true

While it looks legit, can anyone else confirm this?

Thanks.

No. A P35 does NOT support 2.0

Its a rumor that it will support PCI-E 2 :

No, the guys misread the diagram and said that it does. It in fact does not. Just go to Intel and dload the specs. Or hell, check the wiki.
