SublimeBreeze Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hey Everyone, I've just found a cool comparison tool for looking at the difference between GA-EP35-DS3R and GA-EP35-DS3L I was wondering which I should buy until I looked at these specs and thought i'd post it so others could see as well http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...uctID=2778,2842 I'm going with the GA-EP35-DS3R mobo Cheers Sean Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141753-ga-ep45-ds3rrev-10-vs-ga-ep35-ds3l/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaap Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 EP35 or EP45? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141753-ga-ep45-ds3rrev-10-vs-ga-ep35-ds3l/#findComment-1005505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The DS3R has firewire. Maybe it has one or two other small differences. But they're pretty similar motherboards otherwise.

LogicalUser Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 uhh, you are aware that your comparing a P45-DS3R vs a P35-DS3L right? if so, theres some typos in there would make more sense to compare the P45-DS3R against the P45-DS3L, considering the P35 boards are discontinued and impossible to obtain new.

Zaap Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Actually you can still find P35 boards in unopened 'brand new' condition on ebay.

LogicalUser Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 oh? last time i checked everything was used or refurbished on ebay. i mean if thats what your after, power to you, i've got a EP35-DS3L off ebay myself, refurbished, and i mean... it works, but its not the same as buying a brand new product from an actual retailer. mine came with the bare board in a box, no cables, I/O shield, manual, nothin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141753-ga-ep45-ds3rrev-10-vs-ga-ep35-ds3l/#findComment-1007665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaap Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 For example: http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-GIGABYTE-GA-...93%3A1|294%3A50 BRAND NEW - NEVER USED - NEVER OPENED REV 2.0 RETAIL PACKAGING And it is. Ships no different than the day it was manufactured. I've bought several of these P35-DS3L boards from this seller (Macpalace7). Shipped faster than newegg as well- the day after I ordered. (Of course, the seller is right here in LA where I am also, but the point being, they ship these out fast to anywhere). I highly recommend both the board (the P35, not EP35 which is a *little* flaky in comparison to the P35's rock-solidness) and the seller.

SublimeBreeze Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yes, I'm a bonehead The comparison I wanted to make was this GA-EP45-DS3R(rev. 1.0) VS GA-EP45-DS3L(rev. 1.0) http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Mother...uctID=2844,2842 Basically missing firewire. Anything else? Sean Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141753-ga-ep45-ds3rrev-10-vs-ga-ep35-ds3l/#findComment-1009504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalUser Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 the EP45-DS3R has more onboard SATA ports and the firewire. oh, and i believe an extra PCI-Express 2.0 X16 slot? not that its all that relevant here Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141753-ga-ep45-ds3rrev-10-vs-ga-ep35-ds3l/#findComment-1010294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
