GA-P35-DQ6 vs. GA-P35C-DS3R
I'm building a D.A.W. (Digital Audio Workstation) and need help with which MB is better overall. The difference between the 2 boards seems to be the DQ6 has 2 PCI-E slots x16 x8 (DS3R has 1 PCI-E slot x16), 2 PCI slots (DS3R has 3 PCI slots), 3 IEEE-1394 (DS3R has none), All copper silent pipe/Crazy Cool (DS3R has heat sink on N. & S. bridges) 4 E-SATA2 by cable (DS3R doesn't have any).
DQ6- $236.97 (newegg)
DS3R- $158.91 (zipzoomfly)
Cost is not an issue, Quality and lowest noise are! DS3R is a newer board and more future proof but the price difference has me confused. Why is the DS3R (newer board and supports DDR3 Ram) so much cheaper?
basic plan:
Q6600
Artic Cooler Freezer 7 pro 92mm (or something quieter that is small enough to fit MB)
X-fi Hi-fidelity (requires 1 PCI slot)
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 800 Dual Channel kit
2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320 Sata2 or
samsung T series 500GB
CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX or
Seasonic 650W High-Efficiency Power Supply
decent video card (not too important I dont play PC games much)
PS- When I order from newegg/zipzoomfly/amazon how do I know what MB revision I'm getting? example DQ6- rev. 1.0,1.1 or DS3R- rev 1.0, 2.0????
Thanks in advance!
