    GA-EP35-DS3R vs GA-P35-DS3R

    There's really no difference as most people who decide to overclock won't use the DES feature anyways. PLUS, I believe Gigabyte has made the DES feature a free download for its boards. Personally, I went with the EP35C-DS3R. The C means it can take DDR2 or DDR3 memory. Not sure I need the...
