Gigabyte use a appropriate arrangement for allotment their motherboards. For archetype the GA-P35-DS3R. The aboriginal segment, GA, artlessly denotes that it's bogus by Gigabyte. The additional articulation indicates what chipset it is using, in this case Intel's P35. The third allotment shows what appearance the motherboard has. This articulation mostly contains a cardinal of abbreviations. General formula: GA-[Power extenuative method+Chipset name+form factor+Specific Feature]-[main features+minor Feature]
Available 1st articulation abbreviations:
If "A" appears afterwards the chipset code, it has the 333 onboard dispatch (USB 3.0, USB Power X3, SATA 3.0 6 Gbit/s)
If "M" appears afterwards the chipset code, it is a mATX board.
If "N" appears afterwards the chipset code, it is a Mini-ITX board.
If "M" appears in advanced of the chipset cardinal it agency it is for an AMD processor, but has a non-AMD chipset.
If "MA" appears afore the chipset cardinal it is for an AMD processor and has an AMD chipset. ie: (GA-880GMA-USB3)
If "E" appears afore the chipset cardinal it has Dynamic Activity Saver as activity extenuative method. ie: (GA-EG45M-UD2H)
Available 2nd articulation abbreviations:
E - If it appears as the aboriginal letter in the third articulation (ie.GA-EG45-EUD2H), it agency it has Easy Activity Saver feature.
T - Alone DDR3 SDRAM abutment (i.e: GA-MA770T-US3)
C - Both DDR2 and DDR3 SDRAM support
F - Includes FireWire anchorage and attack (i.e: GA-EG41MF-US2H)
No T or C abbreviations beggarly that the motherboard alone has DDR2 SDRAM support.
Available 3rd articulation abbreviations:
D (Durability) - Indicates that the motherboard uses alone solid accompaniment capacitors.
U/UD (Ultra Durable 3) - Introduces 2 ounces of chestnut for both the Power and Ground layers.
USB3 - Indicates that the motherboard fetaured Ultra Durable 3 and USB 3.0 support
S2 (Smart, Safe) - Various appearance such as Q-Flash BIOS etc.
S3 (Smart, Speed, Safe) - Aforementioned as above, but includes overclocking features.
S4 (Silent Pipe, Smart, Speed, Safe) - Aforementioned as above, but uses calefaction aqueduct cooling.
S5 (CrossFire, Silent Pipe, Smart, Speed, Safe) - Aforementioned as above, but with CrossFire support.
Q6 (Quad BIOS, Quad Cooling, Quad E-SATA 2.0, Quad Triple Phase, Quad-Core Optimized, Quad DDR2 Slots) - Indicates quad-core optimization.
Available 4th articulation abbreviations:
# (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9) - Compares boards of aforementioned class. (i.e: GA-P55-UD3)
Available 5th articulation abbreviations:
R - 2 added SATA 2.0 ports and possibly RAID support. May accept FireWire port. May not accept ATI CrossFire support. (i.e: GA-P35-DS3R)
G - Solid capacitors for the CPU Volt Regulator Module.
H - HDMI port. Possibly Changing, Application it for DisplayPort if HDMI anchorage accepted (i.e.: GA-H55-USB3 has HDMI)
L - Probably "Lite". Fewer SATA 2.0 ports. No RAID support. No FireWire ports. No ATI CrossFire support. Heatsink cooling. (i.e GA-P35-DS3L). It could additionally announce Gigabit LAN (as in GA-G31M-S2L, against GA-G31M-S2C which has abutment for 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet).
