That's down to personal preference. Feature wise they are pretty much identical. If you can get a licence for $10, why not try out both and see which you like best?... 🙂
Looking at linux dual boot, though it might be fun to check it out on some unused space in my 2nd hd
🙂
I'm a hair away from getting the case.

I have a new 1 gig hd that I was going to put in my old dell minitower, but the power supply in that went down. I bought a power supply and idly looked at motherboards and potential systems, since I'd already sunk money into 2 components and have access to cheap windows, upgrading would be a marginal expense, and then saw and decided a small case on my desk would be better than a minitower on the floor with my room is setup (I also have corgi who likes to shed, lol) . Then I saw the newegg deal and looked up the processor & board and realized that I could have a new small form factor computer for ~$150, lol.
My old computer was an old athlon 64 dual core with 4 gigs of ram and a radeon 4670. The celeron is slight upgrade in the cpu, and my old computer was running down, probably because of a slowly dying power supply, lol. Now I have an 80+ bronze powersupply feeding a really low wattage machine
🙂 I haven't played a modern pc game in a long time, and from the reviews, I think my video playback, which I used the old pc for a lot, will performance will increase.
From some reviews of the board, there are problems with Ubuntu reboots. There are the same for the AMD BIOSTAR A68I-350 combo cpu/board.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138365 . In the amd board's reviews, someon says that turning off 'PSS Support' in the BIOS fixes the issue. Googling tells me that this is a common name for
product service support. That's probably what he's talking about, right? These two boards share a BIOS feature product service support. Apparently, windows 7 & 8 just turn it off. I'll turn it off before I install anything, lol.
