I have the newest F6 bio and the Balistix is 800.

Hey all, here is my setup: Gigabyte 965p S3 e6300 Ballistix DDR2 1GB (2x512mb) I can only get up to a 420 FSB nothing higher. When I do, I can't boot into Windows. Other Specs: Voltage: 1.35v on CPU +2 on MCH and FSB +3 on VDIMM Memory timing is at 5-5-5-15 How can I get this...

well now I see where it says November.. still gonna go with the giga...don't want to wait that long..especially since the S3/DS3 has a lot of kinks already worked out.

where did you hear that from? people at biostar USA didn't have a clue. seems like it iwll be drop-in for any p965

That review there looks pretty good, good to see you can boot it at 1.8v. Maybe I will pick this up for this great price.

So SHould I look for memory that says 1.8v instead of 2.2v? I found this memory for a really good price at ZipZoomFly . This memory however was not listed on the Crucial website for the S3 or DS3 motherboard. What is wrong with it?

doesn't help me any though :(

well, probably 3-4 years, which is the supposed lifespan of the S3, maybe I will just go with that, there doesn't seem to be any other performance gains with the DS3.

so, the extra 30 bucks is worth it then for the caps? quick price check w/shipping: S3=115 DS=145

so are you saying to go with the S3?

I am building a new computer with C2D 6300. I have these two mobos in mindL Biostar P965 and Gigabyte P965-S3. Here's my dilemna, I can't get the Biostar here in the US. Should I wait for the Biostar or should I just get the S3 and stop waiting. Which one is better in your minds...
