I have a Nettop with a dual core atom board, and think I'm going to upgrade to something with a bit more power (then take the Atom and make it into a home server likely).
I already have DDR2 ram (no i3 cores), dvd, 2 hds, 4350 vid, wireless in an Antec HTPC case
So, should I go with a:
G41 board with a E5400 Wolfdale 2.7GHz about $120
- or -
a 785G board with a AMD 245 Regor 2.9GHz about $130
(and adds crossfire hybrid)
both are rated 65W CPU's
both boards tend to have about same level of stats
What's your thoughts?
