hiya guys. am not a much knower of all the hardware..
i have core2duo 2.20 Ghz with 3gb ddr2 ram, gigabyte 945 chipset, 512 mb graphicscard nvidia geforce 8400gs and 250 gb sata hdd.
i have to run softwares like maya, 3ds max and photoshop with a little bit of gaming and playing hd movies.
my budget is not much and there is no remarkable difference between i3 and i5 other than boost tech. so i've decided to go for i550 or i560 processor.
now the problem is with the chipset, i know these processors have inbuilt graphics but what would that mean? will i be able to install my graphics card in that? or there is no need?
also is it possible to install ddr2 ram on the new chipset? or i'll have to buy ddr3.?
do the new chipsets come with sound card, my earlier chipset have inbuilt sound card.
am confused a lot plz help..!!
