Hello Guys,

I am going to build a new rig and use most of my old stuff for the unit. I am stuck on two things, one being the motherboard choice and the other memory.

The two boards I am considering is the Asus P5e or the Asus P5K deluxe to pair with an e8400 CPU. They both are nearly the same in cost. Does anyone know which of these boards might be best to use with an e8400?

One other question, I see the e8400 and the Xeon e3110 appear to be very similar in the specs. Can anyone help a girl out and tell me the difference or advantages of using one or the other?

P5E
P5K Deluxe


After I select a board, I would also like to talk about the memory for such, but need a board first

Thanks for helping a girl out.

Hugs,

Mary
