One thing I can tell you is that my sister has a E1505, and the speakers leave much to be desired.

doesn't Santa Rosa user DDRIII? I thought that wasn't going to be commercially available for a few more quarters. Or does santa rosa have a separate northbridge for DDRII?
Overall good advice though, newer chipsets are always a good thing. I kind of wish I had waited for 650i instead of going with 975X
