Re: [H] New CL2 stepping for Core2 Duo?

What is the feedback on the P5B - Deluxe in regards to the 8 phase power design? Any real world benefit, overclocking, stability, etc? My only nix on the DS3 is that it uses (from what I can tell) a jmicron raid controller and not the ICH8R/ICH8DH/ICH8DO

That imho is basically the perfect combo. The ds3 board is insanely solid 
and a great performer

I bought a Gigabyte board--965-DS3. E6400, ddr800 ram.

I'm perfectly happy with it. I wasn't planning on getting SLI/
Crossfire or anything, so this board is fine for me. haven't tried
overclocking yet, but people seem to have had some very good results.
There's always kick-worthy stuff out there, but for now, I'm happy.

Plus I managed to add support to the OpenDarwin (opensource OSX code)
ATA driver for the 965 chipset, so get good speed there too.
