| mrstickball said: I looked into the 1055T after I posted. The benchmarks have been unsatisfactory. Going back to CPUs, which would be the best of the 930, 860 or 750? Assuming they are the same price (for me, they are). |
You should get the LGA 1156 variants. The LGA 1366 cpu socket (930) is dead after this generation of hardware. The 860 has hyperthreading whilst the 750 does not as far as wikipedia can tell me. However the LGA 1156 socket can only take 4 core variants of the next generation which is pretty terrible. The AM3 AMD motherboards have forwards compatibility to their bulldozer micro-architecture. Thats the reason why I went AMD in my latest build because good motherboards are too expensive to rebuy every 2 years.
Tease.
