Gigabyte EP45-DS3L

any better choices out there>? also is there a huge diff between ddr2 800 and ddr2 1066???

TIA!!

 
ASUS and Gigabyte both make quality Mb's.
I think any of the choices you listed would work fine for you.
If you need to shave some cash, get the Gigabyte Mb.
If you are planing on overclocking, the ASUS Mb's look to have better voltage regulation and may overclock further.

No, there is little to no difference between CL4 DDR2 800 and CL5 DDR2 1066.
They both access stored data at the same speed.
Save some $$ and get This set or a pair of These sets.
