Which P35 for an E2180?

I gather the Abit IP35 and the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 are the ones people are getting the best overclocking results with. Is there any substantial difference between them? I wanted to go for the Abit due to how pleased I've been with my NF7 these last few years (great board!:)), but now I'm rather leaning towards the Gigabyte due to the Abit's lack of Crossfire support.

Any comments?
 
Is there any reason NOT to go for the P35C-DS3R instead? It's the same price and surely would give a bit of futureproofing, right?
 
Is the Abit a lot better than the Gigabyte? They have a solid reputation and the one I've had from them is excellent, I'm willing to sacrifice CF support if I'd be getting a better board....

Also, unless you want crossfire or RAID, you may as well get a DS3L since they overclock just as well as its more expensive counterparts.

If I didn't want CF I would have gone for the Abit which is (to me) a proven brand tbh :) I don't really NEED CF, I just want to have that option as a cheap upgrade path in the future, so I'm STILL thinking of going for the Abit anyway...
 
hehe, sounds like both mobos have issues :)

Think I'll check out some E1280 overclocking threads and see which one gets the best results...
