Hey
One or two months back I got some advice on what build to buy.
Due to exams and some other stuff i was busy with I never bought the parts because i didn't have the time.So now I noticed that I still have 8 Gigs of DDR2 Ram lieing around that still should work, I thought why buy 4 Gigs of new DDR3 RAM when I can use the old RAM.I'd be saving more than 110 € / 130 $.
So now my question is what should I do ? Is it worth getting the i5 Build ? Is it easier to install Snow Leopard on a P55 board?
This would be both Configs:
1. P45
Mainboard : GA-Ep45-UD3RL (80-90€)
RAM : 8 GB of DDR2 800 RAM (already included)
CPU : Intel Q9550 (230€)
PSU : Superflower 700 W Modular Crown Edition (80-90€)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Total of : 390-400€
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2. P55
Mainboard : GA-P55(A)-UD3 (110-140€)
RAM : 4 GB of DDR3 1333 RAM (90-100€)
CPU : Intel i5 750 (180-190€)
PSU: Same as P45 Build (80-90€)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Total of : 500€-510€
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanx alot in advance.
