can sumone please tell me which one of these Mother-Board & Processor combinations they think would be best for the ASPIRE X-QPACK CASE..??? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mother-Board: http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=0&model=1138&modelmenu=1 Processor: AMD ATHLON 64 AM2 3200+ REATAIL BOX with HEAT SINK and COOLING FAN --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mother-Board: http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=210&model=766&modelmenu=1 Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 939pin 90nm Venice Retail Box w/heatsink & Cooling Fan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mother-Board: http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=194&model=536&modelmenu=1 Processor: Intel P4 630 3.0GHz LGA775 800MHz 2mb EM64 Retail Box w/heatsink & Cooling Fan or Intel Pentium D Processor 820 with Dual-Core 2.8GHz 2x1MB 800FSB LGA775- Box ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- which combo would get the most or best performance..?? or does anyone know of any other better bombo of an Ausus or other MotherBoard & processor that will fit into the ASPIRE X-QPACK CASE thats has an affordable price..??
I would go with the first setup you have listed their. I have purchased and installed a 3200+ processor and am quite happy with it. I would say in generel stick with the Athlon 64's and try and stay away from the Intels they run a lot hotter than a Athlon 64 and it wil be harder to keep your CPU cool in the x-qpack micro case. What do you intened to do with this pc?? This could also determine a different/better cpu/mobo config.
First two are good but dont go with the Pentium. The first one would probably be better because it's an AM2 socket, which is pretty recent.
I would say hold out on buying either. Because AMD and Intel are both rolling out their new sockets this summer. And unlike previous days Intels new processors are supposed to have pretty reasonable temps.
