Hello folks,
trying to find out, wether i should go for a p35 or nforce680i mainboard.
first of all:
im not planing to OC
i wont use sli
ddr2 is the choice right now
gonna run a q6600 on the system, 4gb machine, mainly work, little gaming, performance needed for virtualization.
i need at least 8x sata (8x internal or 6xinternal & 2x external)..that narrows the options down A LOT. actually im stuck with gigabyte mainboards: the p35 performance seems to be nice on these boards and they usually offer quite a lot of sata connectors.
what im looking at:
GA-P35-DS4 or GA-P35T-DS4 (main difference seems to be the DDR3 support?)
alternativly:
GA-N680SLI-DQ6.
i guess i favour the p35, but i didn't here/read a lot about the performance difference betweens the two chipsets (non-overclocking and single graphic on ddr2).
any ideas/suggestions?
