eah know about the S3, but id rather spend a few more $$ and get a p5b vanilla atleast, but then, we dont stay in US

P5B-e, looks like a nice buy too.

Supposed to release soon.

Its based on the Rev. C2 965 Chipset. So its great too .

Yup it does, one thing that is holding this back is the 2.1V for the memory.

any reviews anywhere?

But the P5B will cost quite a bit more than the S3(160$ vs 110$ US). The S3 looks like a good buy at the price(availability needed first of course)

Edit: My bad thought it was the P5B not P5B-E. Whats the diff between the two?

 

[DuBudhi]

Is the P5B E available in India??? If yes whats the cost of one??
And what about the model called P5B-VM with onboard graphics?
Thanks for replies!!!

can someone give me more info about this board. If its for 6k, then it seems to be good lowcost alternative

Thats an awesome price. Considering how well it overclocks its a brilliant buy in that price range

:huh: Just Check the Deltapage, Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 costs 11200/ What is the difference between Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 and Gigabyte GA-965P-S3...

 

[Switch]

DS3 uses better capacitors on the board as comepared to a S3... But for a users who upgrades every year it wont make a difference...

 

[spyral]

DS3 has solid state caps which will give your mobo a lifespan of 5+ years. The S3 will last 3-4 years. So if you upgrade often your fine with the S3.

The DS3 is a very popular choice for enthusiasts upgrading to Conroe. However, if your willing to shell out the extra cash, the ASUS is the better option.
