It's the follow-on product to the IP35 Pro, but uses the newer X38
chipset. Should be good.

There's a bunch of feedback on most of Abit's current offerings over
on their forum. You can check out the current Intel based boards

Apart from early problems with Bios which seems to have been rectified with
later releases I'm thinking this is the fav. Thanks for the info

These gains from SSE4 seem impressive:

....using software designed to take advantage of them. The OP did mention
video editing. The decreased power usage should translate to more
overclocking headroom. My Q6600 @ 3GHz gets mighty warm in this
cool room under full load, even with the monstrous air cooler...
