HerbM Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 First, thanks to tonymacx86 for all the work he's done on the UD2. Thanks to VGM10000 for the great guides. I'm a total noob, but I have been reading a lot. I'm interested in the new P55A-UD3 because of USB3 and SATA 3. I do realize that it is untried. How different from the GA-P55-UD3r could it be, other than the USB/SATA? Being a noob, should I get the UD2, use tonymacx86's method to get up and functioning, then add USB3/SATA3 via a PCI card later? ASUS has one coming out for $30. I'm assuming I'll have one slot open since the GTX260 covers a slot... Thanks for any thoughts.

HerbM Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thought I'd bump this back up since Space-man007 my have gotten sleep to work on the P55-UD3. Looking at the pictures of the two boards on Newegg, it looks like the P55A has moved the slots over to accommodate oversized cards.

snokarver Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The main reason I skipped this board is it doesn't have firewire. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/198903-gigabyte-ga-p55a-ud3-dilemma/#findComment-1347325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
