I am trying to help a friend upgrade their PC.
Was going to recommend a P45 but I am curious what the actual difference between a P45 and P43 chipsets ?
-CPU will be Q6600
-Video card will single card...either one of the NV 200's or ATI 4870.
-4gb of DDR2 800
No real desire to do any serious OCing. Primary use will be for gaming...specifically Age of Conan.
Specifically we are looking at the GIGABYTE GA-EP43-DS3L or GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L. So around a $50.00 difference in price.
I know what the differences are between the board configurations..i,e ports, etc..But curious what will be missing if anything going with the P43 chipset over the P45?...
