Sup guys,

Here are my final system specs to purchase. I got glued on to this board when I first saw it. It has everything from DS3 plus a real nice heat pipe and its costing me only $20 more than the DS3 if I buy it with the e6420.

What do you all think?

Component list

Gigabyte 965P-DS4 DDR2/FW/GBE/S2/8ch + C2D 6420
PC 5300 Corsair DDR2 667 CL5 (1GBx2)
Seagate 250GB Sata2 16mb
Nvidia MSI 8800 GTS OC Edition 320mb
Sony AW-G170A 18x DVD+-RW
antec trupower 550w

Here is a pic of the board.

Thanks.


Just got the components yesterday, everything the same except they ran out of Corsair 667 so I got kingston 667 cl5.

I wanted to get antec because I have always been satisfied with their stability. I got the antec tru power trio 550w which is very heavy duty and you pay a higher price for it as well.

So guys here were the final specs.

Gigabyte 965P-DS4 + C2D 6420
PC 5300 Kingston DDR2 667 CL5 (1GBx2)
Seagate 250GB Sata2 16mb
Nvidia MSI 8800 GTS OC Edition 320mb
Antec trupower 550w
Vista Premium

I will post pics of the system pretty soon.

It's probably not out here yet. They probably get boards a lot sooner over in Singapore, I mean think about how close they are to the company headquarters and where the boards are made. Still, DS4, cool. I can't wait for it...because then the S3 and DS3 will be real cheap! :)

The DS4 is not distributed in N. America.
Can be ordered from Australia:

Note: prices listed are in Australian dollars.
Several of these (Ozdirect & TechBuy are 2 examples) say they can ship to N. America, and accept Paypal for payment.
Ozdirect's pricing: $268.83AUD ($181.70USD) + postage ($40.56USD)

heh, yeah, not worth it in my book, only if it could guarantee your cpu would reach 500mhz fsb on the stock multi...were that the case, i'd buy one of those with an e4400 ;). elsewise, definitely not worth the price premium over the ds3 here in the states.
