Difference between DS3 and S3?

Was curiously looking at the 2 gigabyte boards and wondered what the difference was. At first looks i can't see any difference between the specs on the gigabyte site.

They look identical on the images, you got a source for this info?....

Yes i would to, i just wondered what the difference was and if its really proven to be that much better or not.

I looked on Gigabytes site, and the specs are identical.

Hence why i'm asking someone here.

So the difference between the 965p_S3 and 965p_DS3 is the capacitors.

Thats all i needed to know.

You got some concrete and useful information straight from the horses mouth so to speak.
