Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 Motherboard

[xxsk8er101xx]

Anyone got any information on this board? is it a newer DS version? I noticed the item# is higher but that doesn't really mean anything.

GA-965P-S3

thanks!

from what i can tell it is the same as the ds3 minus the solid state capacitors, the d is for durable.

what i want to know is besides the crossfire, what does the GA-965P-DS4 have going for it?

Is that really going to matter though? How much will it lower the lifespan of the board by? I've been starting to look more and more at the S3 but I don't know about the whole capacitor thing.

Yea if you want to keep it for 5 years or something then it might help. But not worth it for me. My S3 will be here either on Tue or Wed. I will have 2gb of ram and a 805 chip. So I will update my other S3 thread when I get it up and tested.
