Differences between DS3 revs?

Northwind · 12 May 2007 at 18:38

Thinking of buying a used one to replace mine which popped, mine was a rev 2... Anyone know where I can find what the main differences are between revs, in the real world? I can find stats, but nothing that actually, well, means anything to me

Cheers

Dont think there is any real-world difference. But the rev 3.3 natively supports 1333mhz fsb cpus, which could be useful for the next gen of processors from Intel. Thats a big could by the way.

Have a look on Gigabytes website, it allows you to compare mobos. As pointed out above the main diff between the rev2 and rev3.3 is official support for 1333MHz.

Is it not only the DS3P that has firewire? The DS3 rev3.3 doesn't have it and i dont think the rev 1.0, 1.3 or 2.0 have it.
