DS3L Vs. DS3R?
I've been looking at these two motherboards:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L w/ DualDDR2 1066, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, PCI-E x16 Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R w/ DualDDR2 1066, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, PCI-E x16 To me they seem identicle but are obviously not, can someone tell me the difference between the two? I don't plan to overclock, and I'm going to be using a E6550, with 2 GB PC6400 RAM and most likely a Nvidia card. I'm leaning towards the DS3L since the price is tempting, but am wondering if it's $100 for a reason. Will I be fine with that mobo? Thanks.

The DS3L has half of the sata port the DS3R does, it doesn't not have raid and is practically a cheap version, if you don't need over 4 sata ports then go for the DS3L

I would only need SATA prots for a hard drive, and CD drive correct. I only plan to get one CD/DVD drive.
