You cant put GB directly into the Desire, as update for the Desire GB is not ready yet, instead try GB port ROMS, like Oxygen or Ginger Villain
Here is the Desire Index, and go to links in Ginger Bread ROM section:

Ok Thank you for your answer
So, can you tell me, please, what about S-OFF, root and unlocking in case to put stock GB on my device (I found some ways how to put stock GB )?
And if I loose all of that, can I make it again as on Froyo?

S-Off information Here.
Root, unlock information Here
AdamG's DevNull rom is probably the closest thing to stock GB there is. To make it Froyo again you could Nandroid restore to your original Froyo rom, Flash on a froyo rom, or run an RUU and restore your device to an official Froyo build.

Its weird, that you have managed to do S-OFF and ROOT(ok, its not difficult) and then not sure how to do reflash of new ROM?
Anyway, if you reflash, your ROOT and S-OFF will stay, so not to worry

So, if I can have some suggestion, if you want clean, fast and most importantly stable Gingerbread, go for REDUX, its so far the best GB ROM I have tried.
But if you want Sense(I understand, I love Sense as well and it took me a while to get used on Sense free roms) then I'd recommend ReflexTSense, which unfortunately, still is 2.2, but its great HD rom, very nice, designed for big screen and everything looks smaller on original Desire(and better)

About to Root but which Rom?

Right so I am rooting my desire in the next few days and was wondering which roms are most popular and most stable and also which flash method do you guys use (fake-flash or the normal way)?
Thanks

I'm currently using a Froyo port called DefroST, its a Tad buggy but that's because its not official for the Desire. If you want to stick a SenseUI, then I'd suggest either Pays ROM or maybes even MCR. You should probably go through them all and figure out which you prefer though.

Maybe i should wait for my 16gb sd card to arrive before i root. Seems like i'm gonna need some space for all the roms hehe

Well, as I don't care much about flashing lots of cooked ROMs which are released on the development section all the time, or even going back to the stock Eclair ROM, I decided to flash the full version. Decision I haven't regreted so far, by the way. But, that's my particular case! So, if you plan to flash CM7, I think it will be better for you to pick the fixed version.

Carlos

What is meant by flashing the full version? I know nothing about flashing Android Rom, but I only want Froyo or even Gingerbread if possible...
Anyway thanks again, so kind and helpful!! :-D

I don't know much, either. Android is new to me as well. Anyway, what I've called 'full', ketonkss4 has called 'Regular'. It's the ROM as leaked from Moto. As far as I know, a fixed ROM is recooked to remove some CGs, which would prevent your device from being downgraded, if you intended to do so.
Anyway, here is a guide for flashing CM7, in case you haven't already read it, that is.

Only changes are to acpulock-7x30.c , no additional credits/copyrights were in the header of the one I worked off of. If you had a hand it it, let me know so we both can fix that.

I've tested it. Stable for me, and battery is still pretty damn good with it.
I've tried to flash this kernel on 2 different sens roms and got a bootloop on both am i doing something wrong, i tried it on the [ROM] Incredible 2 / HTC s710d 2.3.3 ROM based on Incredible S - Beta2 and RMK Gingerbread Sense r1 :: 2.18.605.3 (Rooted/Deodexed/Debloated).

Drob box links never work for me idk why... Will this kernel give me anything close to the quadrant score I revived with CM7? It was over 2k I just can't stand not having my sense UI

You will be able to get higher than 2000 with this kernal easily. The thing is though, I don't think you can flash back to froyo after going to GB, or atleast I can't.
this is for GB? Wish it would of stated it in the op. Where can I find a Oc kernel for froyo with this kind of potential?

No this is for the stock Froyo rom. The thing is, in my case at least, I cannot go back to froyo after flashing CM7.

For me, I get the white HTC screen and nothing else. If you have your stuff backed up, try it, see if you have the same problem.

I didn't back up the stock rom. If it messes up just remove the battery, go into recovery, flash back to what you were using before.

I can't say for certain that these will work with the stock ROM, but they are your best bet.
UnityV4
Virtuous Sense a7
Have you conisidered try a custom ROM? if you want to keep it as stock as possible I recommended Virtuous Sense 2.0
Try unity v4 kernel, its for all sense based runs. Let's you OC up to 1.7 ghz. Link is in my signature.

I don't actually want to try a custom ROM right now, as i really like the stock one as it is. I may well try that one though when im bored of it! Is that sense 2.1 or just 2.0?

It is sense 2.1, it is based off the official 2.3.3 DZ update, think of it as what you have all ready but with optimizations.
Oh and welcome to the DZ forums.

That is correct, download rom manager, flash CWM, boot in to CWM and flash .zip
Easy, but if you need anymore help, hop over to the Virtuous Rom IRC and I will be happy to talk you through it

There is a way but I'm very well versed in how to do it. If you read the DZ/G2 wiki it links you to a guide on to root 2.3.3.
if you need further help head to the 'G2ROOT IRC channel
I updated to the 2.3.3 OTA too, and I followed this guide here :

Any way getting this without root. HTC posted 2.3.3 official and.i need to unlock bootloader. How can i do this

Dont do it official 2.3.3 sucks... and to downgrade to froyo in the future you will have to S-OFF and flash RUU which might be too hard for some people.
Either stay with Froyo or Root and use custom ROM's, trust me.

I have loads of people who wants to get away from the official gingerbread, because it s*cks on the danish android forum... Maybe some people thinks its fine, but most people who are trying it, thinks that it s*cks and they want to either go back to Froyo or get a custom ROM, which isn't easy with the official Gingerbread...
So please explain why you are saying stuff like that !!

Not easy eh, you just have to go to revolutionairy.io, click to download the program, fill in your desires serial number, you get code, run downloaded program, enable usb debugging on desire, fill in the code and the program does the rest for you.... Yeah really hard....

Didn't really wanna get into the argument but firstly, I have seen many people do the update.. and then their phone didn't even boot after it.. so well done HTC for releasing a possible phone bricker (since you can't do jack all if that happens with this RUU), You get less space on the GB update compared to Froyo (123mb vs 134mb) and there have been a few bugs reported..
HOWEVER...
You get improved battery life (by quite a margin apparently), The phone runs q lot smoother, you get the fastboot feature and better (stock) A2SD.

This argument is invalid, as you can move to SD card A LOT MORE apps and data.
