| 571557 | 2007-07-23 04:01:00 | Would rather the Gigabyte version (www.gigabyte.co.nz)its cheaper for a start! Eh? Gigabyte's entry-level P35 motherboard is $192 (GA-P35-S3). Asus's entry-level P35 motherboard (Asus P5K) is only $188. Well, woop-dee-doo - I just saved up $4! :p |

Well, woop-dee-doo - I just saved up $4! :p Erh, we arent talking entry level here, there is like $60-$80 difference between these board, BUT the most important difference is the Gigabyte has the better chipset for Quad OC'ing......dont get me wrong, I like nvidia chipsets, but the 680 series does have issues. |

This is standard, no overclocking or anything. |

This is standard, no overclocking or anything. This is the first I've seen of DDR3 actually being used. 800MHz DDR3 sounds like the early days of DDR2, with good old DDR2-400 :p |
