How does Gigabyte do its naming
I'm a newbie to gigabyte motherboards. So far I have had no problems
with the board. I have a P35C-DS3R. My prior motherboards have been ASUS. And I was able to understand what the naming of a motherboard meant. Please correct me if I am wrong! P35C-DS3R P35 relates to the Intel P35 chipset. I'm happy with that. I have no idea what the C means. DS3 - seems to be able to use DDR3 RAM then the R on the end? What does that mean? This is my first foray into Gigabyte Motherboards, and so far I am quite happy.I was having very tricky problems with my old ASUS board using Vista, so they swapped the motherboard. My problems seemed to go away.I would like to how things go.

I find their methods of naming better than the manufacturers who call there boards such things as "Master Gamer Monster Ninja Pro" and then one has to hit the spec sheets where half the items are listed as "option" and there is no indication of the option codes.

Nither does mine have an "R" but it has two raid controllers
Nor does it have any memory ref. "me/2" wrote in message ... On Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:26:00 -0500, Marcus Coles wrote: :Gorby wrote: : I'm a newbie to gigabyte motherboards.

My P35-DS4 definitely supports RAID since I'm using it. Note there is no "R" at the end of the model number. me/2

Maybe, but "Speed, smart, safe", doesn't say much. A company is hardly likely to say "30% chance of failure!" ;-) I was just reading where some boards now have "PCIe 16x (at 1x)" listed, meaning the board has a long PCIe slot for PCIe cards, but only runs at 1x speed! Why the feck put the 16 in there... arrggh!

Marcus One other piece: E before chipset designation, e.g. EP35, designates a board using their 'Dynamic Energy Saving' technology. Here's a link to check out. About half way down the article is a chart that gives a decent overview and perspective on their current line-up of boards. http://www.digital-daily.com/motherb...mimsya_s_ddr3/ Mike
