    I'm guessing that they should in fact be GA-G33M-DS2R, GA-G33-DS3R & GA-G33M-S2.
    The M in a name means mATX so the S2 & DS2R are mATX but the DS3R is full ATX..

    At the risk of sounding dense.. which blob is the Northbridge on those? I see NB coolers like Noctua make and they look rather large and I wonder if the blob close to CPU socket is where they belong?

    I think Buff's got it - there's two boards labelled as S2 with the same specs but different prices, and Gigabyte have the DSR2, the S2 and DSR3 on their site... I'd imagine the more expensive one was the DSR3?

    The more expensive one has no RAID ??!?!

    Well its out of stock anyway, I've ordered the DSR2 (LN18892), as the specs says 533/800/1066 for that but only 533/800 for the two you listed.

    Confusing aint it?

    I would have thought the most expensive one should really be the G33 based DSR3 motherboards, which is the only one of gigabyte's G33 boards to be ATX. Its specs are similar to the DSR2's...the ones on scan's website are probably someone copy-pasting the S2 motherboards's specs in twice by mistake, but that's confusing because the S2 is a uATX board and both scan's spec listings say ATX. Someone needs a kick

    FYI anyone.. the GA-G33M-DS2R board is great now that the new beta bios has a 1:1 divider. Run your Ram at 400/800 and your CPU FSB at 400. Got a 3.2ghz C2D now... Nice!
