Aright, I wish someone could give me and many others a good summary of the differences between the DQ6 + DS3 + DS4

Im looking to OC the juice out of it at stock cooling, depending on the total costs (I may have some to spend on a better cooler if necessary).

Ive heard about the great and precious qualities of the DS3 for OCing, sometimes just reading a sentence saying the DS4 is better and mentioning it as if it still hadn't been released. From some posts Ive read about the DS4 having some of the specs of the DQ6 that the DS3 is missing, but I am really not sure what they are.
Thanks in advance, and excuse any OCing/MObo ignorance.
Adding to that, what RAM would you recommend for pushing the e6400 to ~3.2GHz AND the power supply with what wattage should I use? Again, thanks.



Edit: Adding to that, how does this mem look?

Reviews are not the best, and I dont know much about OCing RAM which Ill have to read about more, but its stock timings are not as low (or is 5-5-5-12 a usual stock timing to OC?)
 
The three boards all have the same FSB potential being around 520Mhz without modification.
really ? oh wow cool i should get a nice overclock with my ds4 and ddr2 667 ram then 😀 i thought it was around 450 +/- they could overclock to
 
look here it could help your choice

i personally think the DS4 is the best at the price (its got a bit of the ds3 and a bit of the dq6) i think it also has 6 phase power as well (meaning it should be more stable than the ds3)
 
Could somebody please get me a link to a DS4?
I cant seem to find it...
😳

edit:Wow never mind I just found ITS COST and that other colorful flat thing that comes in the box[/sarcasm]

And I'm guessing it is not worth the extra price for me since Im not planning on using RAID.
 
Searched on the egg, pricewatch, froogle with Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 and I oculdnt find it. I dont know how I ended up finding it though.
