I am looking for a new MB for the i5 CPU and want to make sure that I understand the differences between them.
As I understand it, the P55 is a basic board that supports the I5. The P55A add support for USB3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s. H55 does NOT support USB3 or SATA 6GB/s, but adds support for video output, which means that if I am a non-gamer, I really don't need a GPU. Is that right or am I way off?
What else do I need to worry about in choosing an MB for a home office system that will most likely have the i5-750 CPU (i3-540 is a possibility). Are there huge differences between various manufacturers, MSI, Gigabyte and ASUS, for example?
Thank you for your help.
