Ouch, sounds like an escape plan might be the best solution.

actually, i was asking about the e6850, not the qx6850.

in the U.S.:

e6850 and q6600 ~ $280

qx6850 ~ $1,0000

P35 is the way to go, without a doubt. Its a mature board already, with lots of brands to choose from. I have a p35 from Gigabyte and have been able to OC without issues. Great chipset!
