I spent the afternoon poking around these boards on their website. They are making a big deal out of polymer caps, so I guess they follow this board.
It appears if one wants to not have the ICH9R (raid) controller, and prefers the ICH9 (non-raid) version, then one cannot buy the Silent Pipe heat convection system. Pity.
Tom's Hardware has done some Intel processor testing using this board, and they seem to like it for stability. I have no experience with Gigabyte, so am posting it here. It looks like GA-P35-DS3L might be a real nice board for a hundred bux. Combine it with DDR2-800 (or faster) and an E6750, it should be a hefty machine for a modest outlay.
Anybody have thoughts on Gigabyte for general reliability?
