Just a funny thing to note, the G.Skill DDR800-HZ ram that we all recommend to people got the worst reviews in comparison:
X-bit labs - Choosing the Right Memory for Core 2 Duo Platform - Part 3: DDR2-800 SDRAM Modules Roundup
and the Gigabyte P35-DS3R were all raving about also got a very sub-par review when compared to a P5N-E
X-bit labs - Meet Intel P35: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R Mainboard Review
from their review:
"Relatively low performance with overclocked FSB"
can these guys be trusted?
