are there any real big improvement in performance between the x38/48 and p45 if i were to crossfire 2x 4850 ive been looking at benchmarks and it seem they are well within each other range
 
Not really, as long as it's pcie 2.0 there is no need to worry about 8x vs. 16x at this point.

Agree, the dual x8 lanes on the P45 is adequate to handle CF at this stage with 4850's and I'd be comfortable with even 4870's, now if you go game at some crazy high res and enable 16 x AA you might see a bottleneck with the dual x8 vs 2 x 16 that the X38/X48 offers.
