PhilipMcc wrote:Agree the priorities were out of kilter. (What I want is a Xeon 1230 and a big NV card). I am replacing a PC that is not my primary PC. That was purchased refurbished and has done well for 3 years. The current processor is a Core2Duo 6300. It looks like both the Llano and i3-2105 will be a nice performance bump. I am leaning toward the Llano because I want to remove the video card as a point of failure. Is this silly?
