I need help deciding

[PP Mguire]

Ok i cant really tell what the difference is here. PP Mguire is heading over to the darkside because Frys has an excelent deal right now. e8400 and ECS board for 132. As soon as im paid im swiping that!!

But, i will be upgrading my board first thing.

Now i need to know which one is better and more importantly...why :wavey:

This ones

Or this ones

I see the green one has an extra pci-e slot but the red one supports 1200 and 1066 DDR2 natively. Does the green one come with chipset cooling??

Thanks guys.:worship:

The UT has better power management and components in general. Its an UT so its got a gimpy heatpipe array, the LT has separate NB, SB and PWM sinks.

UT has add in card audio too iirc.

Lookin like the UT is the better deal.

The LANPARTY UT. You get a x1 for the highend sound cards or network cards if you use one, and you get a better heatpipe/heatsink system so your North and South Bridges stay cooler. You also get Hyper-Threading on the UT. I don't use it, but you might so that might be a plus for you.

UT! I have the LT and love it. Plus the color scheme is slightly better lol.

Alright thanks guys. Seems the UT and e8400 will be it for me!
