hi all,
I had did some research on gigabyte website on these 3 model and found out some of the difference between them.
Theirs common Specifications:
Supports Intel® Core™ 2 multi-core and upcoming 45nm processors
Supports DDR2 1066 only, Dual Channel architecture up to 8GB by 4 DIMM slots
ATX form factor, 305 x 210mm
1 x PCI Express X16 slot
3 x PCI Express X1 slots
3 x PCI slots
1 x floppy disk drive connector
1 x IDE connector
The NorthBridge HeatSink is also different in size, DSL got the smallest and DS & DSR is about the same size.
here are some of the difference between them:
GA-P35-DSL (rev 1.0):
Internal I/O Connectors
4 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors
4 x USB 2.0/1.1 headers
1 x S/PDIF out connector
Back Panel Connectors
1 x parallel port
1 x serial port
4 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports
Integrated SATA 3Gb/s interface without RAID function
Ultra Durable Motherboard

GA-P35-DS (rev 1.0):
Internal I/O Connectors
6 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors
4 x USB 2.0/1.1 headers
Back Panel Connectors
1 x parallel port
1 x serial port
4 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports
Integrated SATA 3Gb/s with RAID function
Ultra Durable 2 Motherboard
------------------------------------------------------------------
GA-P35-DSR (rev(2.0)
Internal I/O Connectors
8 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors
2 x USB 2.0/1.1 connectors (supports 4 ports)
Back Panel Connectors
8 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports
Integrated SATA 3Gb/s with RAID function
Ultra Durable 2 Motherboard
Actually i am planning to sell away my Asus P5B together will Intel Pentium D 940 3.2GHz. So i had make the comaprison on these few model as they are very similar but i'm also not sure whether want to choose Asus P5K series as i do not need the extra PCI Express X4 slot and Firewire. Raid function is also not a must but i think it is good to have.
This system i will be using it mainly for doing web/application programming and running some application/web server such as tomcat, apache, mySQL server, sometimes i will also run Virtual PC and occasionally playing games such as warcraft 3, C&C Tiberian Sun.
So is it worth selling it away and upgrade it? And i would like to know whether these mainboard is suitable to install Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro? And i know there are some issues on the RAID i read at this fourm but not sure whether it had been solve?
Thanks everyone
