Yep. That's right. The new version, (which I thought was rev 3.3, but never mind, the 1.3 looks right) officially supports 1333fsb processors, which are coming out very soon.
Having said that, the old board would overclock to 333 ext clock with ease anyway, so I don't quite see what they had to revise. Anyone else any the wiser?
Why is the 1.3 newer than the 3.3? that doesn't make any freakin' sense. I always thought 3.3 was newer or 1.3. This is getting a little confusing on my part.

The 3.3 version has 3 fan headers and slightly newer onboard sound.
The 1.3 version has 1 fan header and the older onboard sound.
Big frakkin' deal. They both support quad-cores and 1333mhz processors.

no, 3.3 is the new version that supports 1333fsb, newegg sometimes gets things wrong
A fan header is simply the 3-pin thingeys on the motherboard that allow you to connect a fan. Most people will only ever use 1 for the heatsink/fan on the CPU, but one could have installed extra fans for the northbridge or southbridge, so it may be useful for some to be able to connect another couple. Of course, you could always use the molex connectors (the white 4-pin ones), so it's really unimportant.
ha, never thought I'd be called baron for being wrong between revision 1.3 and 3.3 firmware on gigabyte boards. Though I'm pretty sure 3.3 is the newer one, or at least the more featured one because gigabyte keeps bragging about revision 3,3, not 1.3, and it wouldn't make sense for them to go 1, 2, 3.3, 1.3, I thought it used to be 1, 1.3, 2, 3.3 (and I'm pretty sure this used to be the order)
I'd never call you a baron! That would be low! But we can all do a Baron from time to time.
I was just saying that both the 1.3 and 3.3 support 1333mhz processors. (btw, rev 2 does not, which suggests perhaps that 1, 2, 1.3, 3.3 is the right order. Don't know) That was my only beef.
I will say this though: Gigabyte really confused the hell out of everyone here. If this wasn't bad enough, you've got the p965-ds3p (has 2 x8 PCI-E lanes) to worry about, and that has revisions as well. Grr...
