I was shopping for an AMD 780 based MATX mobo to pair with AMD 5050e processor for an HTPC build. I settled for Gigabyte mobo for it rich feature set. However, I found 4 versions of the mobo with subtle differences. Here is the comparison page from the Egg comparison chart

The most obvious difference is that DS2H has 128M SidePort memory. Beside that, I see small differences in memory speed, max memory, SATA RAID supports, and onboard USB. I can't believe Gigabyte makes a different mobos, base on the same chipset, with that small differences. Are there more to those mobos that can't be gleamed from the comparison chart?
