Ještě další popis rozdílů:
Gigabyte includes a range of "3" series boards with very subtle differences, so make sure you check what you're buying. If you want CrossFire, then Gigabyte has the GA-P35-DS3P which also includes Firewire, but you drop a useful PCI slot. If you want an upgrade path, than the GA-P35C-DS3R offers very similar features to the GA-P35-DS3R we reviewed here, but includes two extra memory slots for DDR3-1333MHz. The GA-P35-DS3 (no R) uses the vanilla ICH9 southbridge without Intel Matrix RAID technology and finally the GA-P35-S3 is the cheapest of the bunch with no Ultra Durable II, no solid aluminium capacitors and only six SATA 3Gbps ports.
Verze "C" je právě ta hybridní - DDR2 a DDR3. Někdy bývají s takovými problémy (a samozřejmě nejdou oba typa pamětí kombinovat současně), ale u této desky podle ohlasů snad žádné problémy nejsou a zas to může být výhodné kvůli upgradu.
Tady zas třeba doporučují verzi "R", kvůli RAIDU a lepšímu chlazení čipsetu:
I would recommend the DS3R unless you are on a tight budget.
The DS3R has added chipset cooling which makes hitting higher FSB speeds a litte easier/safer on this board. You may need to a chipset cooler fan on the DS3L otherwiste.
The DS3L is great for the 800FSB chips which do not need to clock the FSB as high to reach extremely high speeds.
The DS3R along with better chipset cooling, adds RAID support and support for more sata drives.
The Higher boards add more items such as IEEE, External Sata etc....
