Im looking on building my machine now and im centered on the 720BE but not sure if im going to be running DDR3 or DDR2. Price is a big factor. Rally Big factor.
I am going to be running a 4870 OC Video card.
Ive seen boards with the 790 chipset (of course im getting a 790), but what it the downside to the 790GX chipset. Now I know the GX has the GPU IGP, but there must be a downside to using that chipset and mating it to a 48xx series gpu. (hence turning the IGP off)
So the cliffs:
Is there any performance decrease in the GX chipset compared to the FX when not using the IGP???
Thanks all!!!
