I have been planning (in fact , already ordered) on buying the EP35-DS3.
I read in some forums that both models (EP35-DS3 and P35-DS3)
are actually the same , but I think they are not.
Look at the pictures:

http://www.gigabyte.co.nz/FileList [...] s3_big.jpg
See the diffrences? the first one is the P35-DS3 and the second one is the EP35-DS3.
Clearly , they are not the same , and even the specification are diffrent.
I also read that the EP-DS3 models overclock better (http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php? [...] mitstart=3 this is the EP35C-DS3R which is actually worse at memory overclocking and diffrent only by the ICH9R and the 2 DDR3 slots)
So what do you think?

They have the new Dynamic Energy Saver (DES)

Correct , they are indeed the same.
But Im ordering the E version because there is no telling which
version of the P35-DS3 they have.

Isn't the only difference just the addition of the energy saving feature, which you can just disable anyways. I guess like ilan2212 said, by buying the "green" version you are essentially guaranteeing what revision you will get.
