nexidus Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 So I have been ready to buy my system from Newegg for a week now. I wanted to wait and get everything I need on one invoice. I have been waiting for the GA-P35-DS3P to come back in stock, but as of 5 minutes ago it has completely disappeared! So I head over to Giga-byte.com, scared I would have to settle for the DS3L and low and behold version 2.1 is listed on the site. This is brand new as of at least the last 2 days. Only a few changes I could see. Changes for v2.1: Support for DDR2 1200 O.C. up from 1066 O.C. Updated support for all new core 2 45nm processors ATI Crossfire X support up from regular ATI Crossfire Dynamic Energy Saver Seems like some nice changes. I like that extra RAM headroom. I would think this update should result in even better/easier overclocking results. Is ATI Crossfire X real improvement? I mean, without a really competitive card to the 8800GT it just seems like something I could over.

ZdProjects Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I found the GA-P35-DS3P rev.2.1. It has a new name call the GA-EP35-DS3P. Here's the link to the board, GA-EP35-DS3P. Now i can start making my Mac! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81296-new-ga-p35-ds3p-revision20-to-21/#findComment-585885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Ah well, the changes aren't groundbreaking I guess. I don't even use DDR2 1200 memory and CrossFire. Also, I don't know what the Dynamic Energy Saver is but most people don't even use the energy saving settings anyway But I am curious about the updated support for 45nm processors. What are the exact details on that? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81296-new-ga-p35-ds3p-revision20-to-21/#findComment-585927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZdProjects Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I know a lot of the older boards could support 45nm. I know my current nForce 680i board does. The main reason I really want the 2.1 is because its the only one that i can find on newegg. If they had the 2.0 and it wasn't open box and cheaper I would get that. There shouldn't be too much of a performance difference though pcwiz.
