GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 (rev. 1.0) Pro Reviews

However, we did note that memory timings suffered at the new overclock levels when compared to other boards, even if the performance differences are minor and certainly not noticeable in day to day activities when using the system. While the board still does not live up to its overclocking potential in our opinion, we do commend Gigabyte on the continual improvements they have made in each BIOS - unfortunately sometimes fixing problems caused by a previous release. We have also found Gigabyte to be very sensitive to customer complaints or suggestions, and while their BIOS releases have not always been timely in addressing issues, they have been very responsive in addressing these requests. We already see further improvements in their new product releases and we will be able to share those results in the very near future.

The Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard isn't going to surprise anyone with fancy new features, but if you want an inexpensive motherboard for your new Intel Core 2 system that provides stability and even some overclocking options, you may want to check it out.
