So what is the desktop Penryn's fsb going to be? I was planning on buying a new motherboard, a Gigabyte P35-DS3R, but if the X38 chipset is more future proof I was thinking of going with one of Asus or Gigabyte's new X38 motherboards.

Penryn will have a mainstream FSB of 1333MHz and an 'Extreme Edition' FSB speed of 1600 MHz.

Alright, so as long as I don't plan on buying a $1k QX9650 (or w/e it's called) I'm good to go with a DS3R until I eventually upgrade to Intel's next socket?
