Yes, you can run the DS3 BIOS on the S3. Ask MadMikeSS here on the forums about it - he was doing it for awhile.

I did some further testing on my E6600 with the new F10 DQ6 bios, and just finished a 12h Orthos run at 500x7 3.5ghz 1000mhz RAM 1:1 5-5-5-15.
The everest idle corevolt is 1.38v, and after droop it stays at 1.36v during the Orthos run. While I'm desperately waiting for the Ultra120 Extreme/Ultima90, this was done on AC Freezer Pro, and temps never went over 55C.
Seems my E6600 is a pretty decent chip..

Dont know who/what ever to believe, some guys said that the Gigabyte memory is a "mess", memory wont o/c and compability problems, Thats why I ordered ASUS P5K deluxe, after some readings, I realize that the Asus cooling really sucks, MOSFETS getting very hot, and they got some RAID probs, I am using a pair of Mushkin XP8500(D9MGH) is there anyone who can confirm it will work with the Gigabyte, atm that is holding me back to pick Gigabyte, I got to know today, So i can change my order tomorrow (last date), because I already payed :X So Any help much much much appreciated!!!

I think you're better off w/ any P35 motherboard, like my P5K Deluxe. I've had 2 DS3's, still using a rev. 3.3, and this a better motherboard in so many ways. The memory timings/bandwidth are amazing. And I don't know who has problems w/ temps, but I don't.

With plane old Crucial Ballistix pc2-6400 (800), I'm getting almost 10,00MB/s read, latency of 52ns, @ 1104 speed, normal voltage.

Currently just drifting along at 460x7=3.2.
