After the relative success Gigabyte had with it's "D" line of P965 based mainboards, they are back with a the new Ultra Durable 2 series. What's new is the fact you will only find solid-state capacitors this time. If that wasn't good enough, they have also improved the CPU's voltage regulator circuitry, which means it will use less power (longer lifetime, lower temperatures).

Among the mobos in this line, one that's getting quite a bit of attention is their DDR2 AND DDR3 compatible P35C-DS3R. Previous attempts to give users this flexibility of RAM options (MSI) resulted in not very competitive products. This one is a different beast, performing with any kind of memory you choose. There are several reviews for you to enjoy: Hardware Logic, CPU3D, Hardware Zone, Techgage and X-bit labs.

Overclocking capabilities vary, but this board is capable (on average) of hitting 500 Mhz. Not bad at all for a P35 based motherboard.
