Core2duo and Motherboard???????

[darklord]

It would have been very useful if you please...give a particular one or two..names.

Ok I am giving out the names of the P5B varient..you tell which one to go...

1) P5B-VM
2) P5B-V
3) P5B-VM SE
4) P5B-E
5) P5B-MX/WiFi-AP

These are all intel chipsets..Will it be useful to go for Nvidia...like

1) P5NSLI
2) P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP
3) P5N-E SLI
4) P5N32-E SLI

I don't know the prices of the models..and many of them may be out of my budget..So consider only which are within 8k..

Of all the boards listed above, P5B-E,P5N-E SLI,P5N32-E SLI are worth buying.

Does the..mobo with Nvidia chipsets have onboard graphics...I visited..the asus site but didn't got my answer..

If anyone can answer..pls..

 

[assasin]

^^^ no they dont hav onboard gfx.

 

[shyamno]

^^^ no they dont hav onboard gfx.

That mean's..for playing any games...I need a graphics card inserted in the PCI slot..

Not a single model of ASUS built Nvidia chipsets..contains..onboard graphics ?????

Guys..what is the difference between Intel P965 and G965..and which is better ???

Also..in the 965 series..what is the difference between the G965RY and G965WH..and which is better..

Is it better to go for Original Intel or Any other manufacturer..such as ASUS etc..??

Intel DG965RY (Rogers City; Classic Series)

1. no RAID
2. no S/PDIF
3. STAC9227 5.1 Ch. HD audi


Whereas has Intel DG965WH (Westchester; Media Series)

1. RAID 0/1/10/5
2. STAC9271D 7.1 Ch. HD audio
3. optical S/PDIF out. Supports Intel Viiv Technology.

 

[shyamno]

So the 965WH will be a better choice..????Can anyone give the latest price..of this board..????

Will it be better than the ASUS P5B variant ???

 

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Yes, DG965WH would be better. I specially got this MOBO from US .

Not sure about Indian Price but it is around Rs6500. P5B have overclocking abilities while Intel MOBO dont have that but you have onboard GFX which only P5B-VM has.

U'll hav 2 install a pci-e x16 gfx card not just 4 playing games but even for running ur pc if use any Asus nVidia 680i/650i chipset based boards.

P965 doesnt hav onboard gfx and G965 has onboarrd gfx.

if u want stability go for Intel original mobo,but if u want other features such as oc then buy Asus mobo

@george101
JFYI .If u r not in a hurry to get ur new pc, wait a few weeks more.Intel is planning to cut core2duo prices [By almost 40% is what the websites suggest ]
so more bang for your buck !!!

 

[assasin]

^^^ it'll be may-june before Intel reduces price.
even i'm waiting for that price cut.

 

[shyamno]

My friend finally bought

AMD AM2 4200+ and M2NPV-VM both totally costing around Rs 9650...

Is that config OK ???

does the board have onboard graphics. upto what memory ??

 

[pra_2006]

will this motherboard 'Intel DG965WH' support 8600GT or some 8 series card with direct X 10 ?

 

[darklord]

All 8 series PCI Express cards will work on motherboards with PCIE 16X Slot
