:p Well not quite twins but of the same mother for sure...

Can anyone tell me what the potential differences between these two very similar Gigabyte boards. I'd like to buy the newegg board but the instant gratification of the Microcenter board tempts me as I live across the river from the store. Is there a down side to one verses the other for the specs in my sig with the addition of an e8400?

Off topic--->I have a cpu thread that is fast turning into a motherboard topic; is there any experienced Abit users with MB tips or tribulations concerning this topic? http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=615209

Thanks to everyone in advance!
 
The UD3L is the LIGHT version. Not bad at all but just a lil smaller and maybe few BLING BLING have been removed ...

The UD3R have heatsink on the Mosfet. If i was you i would just ask a UD3R at your local microcenter ... they can order it for you !
