Difference between these two motherboards?

What is the difference between the S3L motherboard and this DS3L motherboard? The only thing I can find is the memory standard

The price is also different. 🙂

Weird dude.

According to the dimensions the GA-P35-DS3L is actually smaller as well??? But looking at the pictures it doesnt look smaller

Hmm; from looking at pricegrabber.com, shopzilla.com, amazon.com, and buy.com, newegg is the only site that has the S3L
Very odd.

The difference is the type of capacitors they used. S3L uses old capacitors, while the DS3L uses solid capacitors. They're supposed to be more durable and lasts longer.

Oh, I see (though that source doesn't say that the DS3L uses solid capacitors-how did you know?)

I have another question-how can I know which revision of motherboard I would be getting?

Thanks for your help.
