Hey,
First time on the forum
Searched a bit last nigth for info...but i couldnt find it so i thougth i would ask
Currently planning on upgrading my xmbc ubuntu box which is currently running on this hardware :
Asus p5e deluxe
Core2duo e8600
8gig ram
Radeon HD5450
I have a motherboard that i sent for RMA that i should be getting back really soon.
Its a gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3.
I cant decide between i3-3240 (140$ CAD on directcanada.ca) or Intel Pentium g2020 (58$ CAD on directcanada.ca)
I dont use this pc for gaming and never will....its hooked up to my tv and its only purpose is to run xbmc ubuntu.
So my real question is is the pentium g2020 powerful hd for 1080p playback ? (i would like to remove the 5450 card )
Or would i be better off with the i3.
And also is 4gig ram enough ?
Thx for your answers
