Hi,
I have 2 PCs at the moment, as follows:
PC1
Core2Duo e8500
Asus P5K-e
4Gb Ram (PC8500 DDR2, I think)
XFX 4890 GPU
Full size case
PC2
Athlon II x4 630
Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H mATX
8Gb RAM (10666 DDR3)
Onboard graphics
SFF case
I had PC1 as my main PC, then started an MCITP course, so needed something to act as a server, hence the large amounts of RAM in PC2.
My question is, which would I be best off keeping, once I finish my course? The chips seem much of a muchness, and I can put the 4890 in either of the PCs. The use is general internet + the odd game of CoD/Half Life, etc.
I appreciate that the PC2 mother board probably has more life in it, but would it be able to take a new generation chip when they're released?
Thanks in advance...
