the p5w needs a bios update, does the DS3 work right out of the box with conroe?
does anyone have a link to an I/O shot of the DS3 (i cant find one)
i will not be using crossfire GFX in this
can i have some opinions/comparisons etc on the boards please
(im basing my decision on this )
The Gigabyte uses the 965 chipset which was designed for C2D, so it shouldn't need a BIOS update wheras the P5W DH uses the x975 chipset, which wasn't designed for C2D but will run it with a BIOS update. Here's a very recent review where they pit the DS3 against the Intel D975XBX (Bad Axe)...which performs similarly to the P5W DH.
