Nice review! Color schemes are starting to make a little more sense- they almost had it right except for the memory slots. I like the blue theme.

I also like the look of the aluminum shields over the nb sb heatsinks, but I would think that the air would get at the cooling fins better without them.

Not terribly interested in this mobo, but i'm very interested in this:

Also, there are actually a few soon-to-be-released 4GB DDR2 kits that will be able to achieve DDR2-1300 speeds with relative ease, so stay on the lookout for those!
Info please?


Even higher binned ProMOS?

Who's coming out with these?

Hi,
This is my first post. I'm really enjoying reading the reviews here.

Great review on the Gigabyte EP45-UD3P. I also read the reivew on the Gigabyte EP45-DS3R mobo. Can someone tell me what the main difference is (if any) between these two boards.

Here's all I could find. not sure why the DS3R costs more.
EP45-UD3P: $145, 8 Sata ports, ultra durable 2oz copper on the board
EP45-DS3R: $160, 6 Sata ports,

I have the same question what board is better to get im counting the cost and right now the EP45-UD3P is on at newegg for $144 free shipping and a $20 MIR so im definitely thinking of jumping on that fast.

Newegg.ca - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
