[QUOTE="kszabo, post: 551844, member: 61646"] I would buy a motherboard with 790 chipset, they can unlock X2 and X3 Phenom IIs to an X4! not a bad thing.... There are not too many µATX boards with 790 though. They have the HD3300 with higher GPU speed = more grafix performance. Paired with a Phenom II X2, unlocked to X4.... :-) If you are on the "energy saving" hype, Athlon II X2 would be the choice (no unlocking more cores possible), and you don´t need the 790 chipset. maybe this: [URL="http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a455873.html"]http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a455873.html[/URL] or this: [URL="http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a408752.html"]http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a408752.html[/URL] A model with sideport memory is better (ca. +10% 3D performance), but the 128 MB sideport is way too unsufficient for 1080p/i DXVA decoding (it needs at least 256 MB), so no unburden of RAM of shared memory possible. If you watch 1080i material (mainly HDTV) you need a HT3 capable CPU for optimal deinterlacing if paired with onboard graphics. [/QUOTE]
