Hello again fellas...
I did a bit of research on both options(A6-3500 Y i3-2105). The first thing that stood out was the price difference....WHOA!! I just got around to seeing BluRay's i3-2105 post with the same case as you Beer40oz! If and when I do start my new build, it will be within the next 3-4mo so maybe price will drop on the i3. I see both options are 65W but I did notice the TripleCore feature with A6-3500 VS. the DualCore w/the new Hyperthreading technology offered by the i3. I dont game or do anything besides HTPC'n w/XBMC so i'm not sure if these features would be of any extra benefit. Multitasking without issues and no Macro on my HTPC is a must. The only thing I do extra is HDAudio bitstreaming so of course I will be interested in the HD6530D vs. the HD3000 iGPU's.
Hey Blu... do you know of anyone using the i3 along with Daniela's build, if so what was the response?
