Simply ignore DDR3-based X38 boards for the time being because there is literally no extra performance on offer - this is very likely not unique to Gigabyte though. Even then, as a top of the range DQ6 board, I don't feel the box package and the overclocking capabilities are where they should be. There's nothing over and above the DS5 apart from different capacitors, a few more power phases and a Gigabit Ethernet socket. The GA-X38T-DQ6 is a good, stable board at stock speeds but I'd still buy the GA-X38-DS5 which does the same for less, without the extra burden that is the cost of DDR3 memory at the moment.
