The P-35 DS3R New system build thread:

[Gabb]

Someone once brought this up that we should create a thread since there were a large number of users building new systems with a Gigabyte P-35 DS3R ( or any other varient like the C version or any P-35 chipset like maybe that MSI platnum crap hehe )

Anyways heres the thread that will be the flagship one, please post your future planned system specs and progress on how the build is going ( can add dates for when you are going to start etc ) as well as any warnings that fellow Gigabyte mobo owners need to look out for ( apparently a lot... )

Anyways my planned system specs are in my sig:

for OS ill prob use my friends xp and then get vista once it gets better ( apparently they need another friggin year... ) or when we find out directx10 is only for vista ( which hopefully its not )

DATES:
I plan to build my computer whenever I get my ordered parts, plan to get the q6600 come sunday, build will happen somewhere between- August 1st to August 8th, wish me luck!

so no ones building a P-35 DS3R system soon? I could have swore there was at least a couple B1gapl included

I'm upgrading to a P-35 DS3R soon along with a Q6600 and 2GB of..... probably OCZ 800 MHz.

uh....Why the Ultra, if I may ask?

Well I want the extra horsepower and by the time I build this rig (around 2-3 months) the price may come down. If the price doesnt come down I am going for the GTX.
