Last response: in Components
Share

Hi all,

1) I need to decide between three Mobo: Asus P5KPL-CM (chipset G31), Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L (chipset P45) and MSI P45C Neo-FIR (chipset P45).
Which one is the better chocie?

I'm posting a link to the intel comparison between the two chipsets: P45 and G31 (I doesn't see a big difference betqeen them - maybe someone can explain).

2) The POint of view nVIDIA Geforce 9300GS 512MB PCIe - it's a good choice?

Thx,
misi

2. Its no good, the 9300. Its mainly used as an integrated chipset. Why not a 9600GT? If its too pricey, a 4650 will do. 4670 is $60


What about Gigabyte nVIDIA 9400GT 512Mb or ZOTAC nViDIA 9500GT 512MB (+40$)?

As you can see by the comparison chart, the P45 is a performance board that supports more memory, DDR3, and more USB ports. With the new X58 boards on the market, you could probably find a Gigabyte P45 board for a low price. For the video card, upgrade to a 9600GT, low price and enough GPU for most applications and video. ZOTAC is a good brand, I have one and it has worked well.

Yeah, like I said in my previous post, why not get the 9600GT or a 4670? Why are you intent upon 9300,9400? You get GDDR3 with 9600GT which is a major advantage over the DDR2 9500GT. The 9600GT outperforms the 9500GT by quite a margin. Like HW 98 said, what are you using it for?
