Whatre the differences between these mobo, aside from the chipset, what're the disadvantages and advantages of each? (besides the p35 on the ds3) which would you suggest for non-sli heavy overclocking.
 
The p35 has increased memory performance. I think its about 22% better then 965's... I'll try to find the link, one sec.

Edit: Found it, its 16-18% in benches and 2-5% in real world applications. Better then nothing I guess.
That means the real performance surprise in these tests is that the revised memory controller in the Bearlake chipset improves buffered memory bandwidth by 16% to 18%, with a real-world improvement in gaming and application performance of 2 to 5%. This is a pretty impressive improvement for a memory controller update. To repeat an old saying please remember that memory is just one small part of the system, so a 2% to 5% increase in gaming from the memory controller alone means the P35 memory controller is significantly improved over the P965 chipset.

is the p6n plat a 965 chipset?

also, would 2-5% really be worth it? Also, im looking for an external sata port....any p35 mobos have that?
