This board uses DDR3 and will accept up to 16GB. These can be had used for $60.
They are still PCI-E2.0 and USB2.0 only. P45 boards are more like $100 or so, not worthwhile.
These are socket 775 and I have several unused quad core CPUs on hand.
My current setup is an ABIT IP35 PRO with 8GB DDR2. Will the Gigabyte board give any measurable improvement over the ABIT?
I don't have the budget for a Ryzen setup and assume a newer Intel setup (Ivy Bridge) will cost in the range of $300 or so. Would an AMD3 setup be better?
What's the best bang for buck for say $300? I'm in Canada, so stuff costs more. Off-lease I3s can be well over $200 here.
any suggestions welcome.
