I need some help to answer. I'm planning on getting a Q9550, if it comes out january 20 but I don't know which chipsets are supported. Anybody care to share their knowledge with me?

I found that the previous Core 2 Quad processors supported the 975X, P965, X38, P35 and maybe others but I did not find any specifics for the new processor.

EDIT : I just searched a bit more Inttel website and it says the following for the Q9550 :
G33 Express Chipset,
G35 Express chipset,
P35 Express chipset,
Q33 Express chipset,
Q35 Express chipset,
X38 Express chipset

I don't think that's a complete list. I've read people talking about the X48.
