I would rather wait and see what DFI's RD600 mobo will do - a nice cool running chipset with allegedly amazing overclocking rather than Nvidia's heat monster Nforce chip

well that was a disappointment, think ill stick to the plan of a gigabyte 965DS3. costs less too.

get a p5b deluxe or a p5b, if you get a rev 2 they clock like mad

p5b-e does 500fsb out of the box
and p5b deluxe does 600

..obviously if your mem / cpu is capable

Personally, Id go for the DS4 because it has better PWMs, although the DS3 is sorta equivilient to the DFI 975 (not including chipset) and is still a lot cheaper.

For my money, I'd forget noisy Crossfire or non existent SLI and get a P5B dexlue and a 7950/1950.

that ceramic heatsinks interesting. Is the different coloured PCB for product differentiation or because green pcb's are cheaper?

Probably a bit of both, although that's an educated guess rather than ever looking at numbers. Most industrial boards are green or tan yellow so bulk is cheaper Id imagine.
