GA-P35-DS3P ( http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...me=GA-P35-DS3P )
-- Supports DualBIOS Plus with 2 x 8 Mbit flash ROM (the P35-DS3R only support Virtual DualBIOS and 1 x 8 Mbit flash ROM),
-- Includes IEEE 1394 Controller,
-- Comes with second PCI Express x16 slot (PCIE_16_2 supports x4), however, when this PCI-E slot is in use the PCI-E x1 slots become unavailable.
however, if you are sure that you won't need these items, or your budget is tight, then forget about this board.

as for the RAM i think i like this one more... but please check around first.

i suggest memory with the micron D9 chips such as the Crucial Balistix Tracer 1066Mhz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148070

theres also a MUCH cheaper Ballistix (yellow version) that was about $170 but newegg stopped carrying them

memory or the G.skill 1000mhz ram (these modules work best under active cooling)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231077

the OCZ Reaper HPC 1066mhz memory also has D9 chips, better cooling and is only a few bucks more, best deal i think http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227191
