The DS3 is actually an intel 965 chipset
blah, I've been seeing the numbers six, eight, and zero for like a month and half straight, so my brain automatically just assumed thats what the DS3 was lol, my bad. I don't know if your last post was hinting that you might try a 680i, but if you are I'd point you to EVGA's A1.Better stability reports and EVGA's support sounds good from what I've read. My friend has an A1 and loves it. Admittedly I know very little about the 965 except that it out performs the 680i's RAID capabilities, so I don't have 2 cents to give you there =/
