Er yeah. When I place my final order I'm going to see what the offers are like at the time, if a DS3 isn't much more expensive than an S3 I might get one...

There's a new DS3 coming...likely they're clearing out the current ones

Here are the differences:

Two PCI-16, one less PCI, quadbios and firewire are the big changes, the rest look like just slightly newer integrated components.

If that OCs like the DS3 these changes make it an even more attractive board...

Southbridge: Intel ICH8R in place of ICH8 .

Wow, I entirely didn't notice that there are 8 SATA ports instead of 6, too.

Dual pci-e is nice...I could get 2 x1900's on there for double the folding power...
