Can people help me decide?

Asrock N68C-S-UCC + AMD Athlon II X3 440
or
Asrock 880GM-LE + Sempron 140

which one is better?

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

I am guessing we are dealing with a very tight budget.Better you get a cheap pure am3 mobo then get a good am2+ mobo.Can you find a pure am3 mobo?

your am2+ mobo has dual support for ddr2 and ddr3. so in other words you can only use one type.

 

[glsibug16]

yup, ill be using one stick of ddr3 with them. so which one is better betwwen the two choices?

One has triple core and the other one has single core but better IGP.

I don't know which one to choose

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

so you cant buy a pure am3 mobo?

 

[glsibug16]

cant find one here

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

is Sandy bridge i3 2100 out of your budget?

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

if you can find a cheap lga 1155 mobo.It would be nice.They are almost the same price as am3 mobos.

 

[glsibug16]

but their procs are way of my budget

 

[ghnader hsmithot]

really sorry... i cant help you out.My lan server doesnt connect well to asrock.

Wait for other members.They would know better..

The athlon x3 is miles better

In this case, i'll vouch towards getting a better processor than getting a better IGP.. Ideally though, the 880G + Athlon II X3 combination will be perfect..
