Which system to go for?one given techfreak or cilus?
and what are these h67 and z68?
please give me one best system.
also suggest some reputed shops to buy all those hardware in banglore.
Will somebody help me to get rid of those crazy questions?it is asking me every time i post?please.
Thanks
Lets clear your doubts first...
Current intel Core ix (x is 3, 5, 7) are based on Sandy Bridge architecture, best till now. All of them are having IGP integrated inside the CPU die. So the IGP is in processor now, not in the motherboard.
i3 based models are dual core with Hyper threading enabled. So it can process 4 Threads simultaneously leading 10% to 25% performance improvement compared to a dual core processor without HT in heavily multi-threaded applications. Example is Core i3 2100. They comes with HD 2000 graphics
i5 based processors are True quad core processors but they have their HT disabled and can process 4 threads simultaneously. But due to the extra two physical cores comapred to the logical cores of i3, they offer superb (read Unbeatable) performance in budget. Examples are i5 2300, i5 2400, 2400K. They are mainly targetted to Gaming oriented system. They comes with HD 2000 graphics but run at higher than that of a Core i3.
i7 based processors are true quad core processors with their HT or Hyper Threading enabled. So you get 4 physical and 4 logical cores, resulting processing of 8 threads simultaneously. As a result in highly multithreaded applications like Designing, Audio/Video encoding, rendering, they offer simply unbeatable performance. i7 2600 and 2600K is the only two i7 processor available now. They come with HD 3000 series graphics, better than HD 2000.
K and Non-K processors: both i5 and i7 series processors come with K and non K version for a perticular model, like i5 2400 and i5 2400K and i7 2600 and i7 2600K. K series has unlocked multiplier and can be overclocked by just increasing multiplier value to offer better performance. But even for enabling oveclocking K series processors, you need specialized motherboard chipset, namely P67 and Z68.
H67, P67 and Z68 chipset:
1. H67 chipsets are actually designed for Non-K series processors and they are well suited for normal day to day configs. It offers On-boad Video output. So you can use the integrated IGP of the plugged processor. Although you can plug a K processor like 2500K or 2600K in it, H67 does not allow overclocking.
2. P67 is the bigger brother of H67 as they offer overclocking of K series processor. But they lack the onboard Display output and when plugged into P67 based mobo, the IGP of Sandybridge processors will be disabled. You always need a discreate graphcis card for it.
3. Z68 is actually best of the P67 and H67 chipset. It allows you to use the on-board GPU of the Sandy-bridge processor as well as allows overclocking of the K series processors.
It also offers some additional features like Switchable Graphics between IGP and dedicated card and SSD caching where a small size SSD can be used as a buffer between Ram and HDD to improve performance up to 4 times higher than a standrad HDD.
thetechfreak's suggestion is actually a high end gaming system, not for what you want. So I suggested you a config for workstatio based needs.
