    Re: Which one is better Gigabyte GA-P67A-D3-B3 or GA-Z68P-DS3

    What i have found is that the both are good but both lack in some functional areas.The Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3 and the GA-Z68P-DS3 both Support the
    processors/Intel Core i5 processors/ Intel Core i3 processors/Intel Pentium processors/Intel Celeron processors in the LGA1155 package and the L3 cache varies in both as per the CPU but the GA-Z68P-DS3 comes with a Intel Z68 Express Chipset which has been found better from a no of people as compared to the GA-P67A-D3-B3 having the Intel P67 Express Chipset and even i feel the same as i am using the GA-Z68P-DS3 currently.It really gives you a great performance but i am not that aware of the GA-P67A-D3-B3 performance.

    They both are having the support the same operating system i.e Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP and they even have the form factor as common i.e ATX Form Factor; 30.5cm x 21.5cm but when you check the bundle software then the GA-Z68P-DS3 is having some better option such as the Norton Internet Security (OEM versionIntel Smart Response Technology and the LucidLogix Virtu where as the GA-P67A-D3-B3 on the other hand is just comes with the Norton Internet Security (OEM version) but you have to make sure that the monitor cable is connected to the integrated graphics port on the back panel for GA-Z68P-DS3.

    • Support for Q-Flash
    • Support for Xpress BIOS Rescue
    • Support for Download Center
    • Support for Xpress Install
    • Support for Xpress Recovery2
    • Support for EasyTune
    • Support for Smart 6
    • Support for Auto Green
    • Support for eXtreme Hard Drive (X.H.D)
    • Support for ON/OFF Charge

    where as the GA-Z68P-DS3 supports all of the above + the following:

    As far as i know there is not much difference between the GA-P67A-D3-B3 and the GA-Z68P-DS3 because i have found that they have many things in common.The following things are common between GA-P67A-D3-B3 and
    • GA-Z68P-DS3:
    • BIOS
    • H/W Monitoring
    • I/O Controller
    • Back Panel Connectors
    • Internal I/O Connectors
    • Chipset
    • CPU

    so i dont think that there might be much difference between their performance

    Other than that they also have the following common things:
    • Memory
    • Audio
    • LAN
    • Expansion Slots
    • Multi-Graphics Technology
    • Storage Interface

    and the difference i have found is that the GA-Z68P-DS3 has 12 USB 2.0/1.1 ports (6 ports on the back panel, 6 ports available through the internal USB headers) where as GA-P67A-D3-B3 has 10 USB 2.0/1.1 ports (4 on the back panel, 6 via the USB brackets connected to the internal USB headers)
