h67 vs p67?
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 5:47 am
hi everyone
so though ive been trying to figure this out, i still have a question... i want an i5 or i7 sandy bridge. i don't need "gaming" graphics so my next problem is to pick a motherboard. here's my confusion, it doesnt make sense:
h67: on chip graphics, no overclock
p67: external gpu, overclocking
regular sandy bridge: no overclock, 2000 graphics
"K" processor: overclock + 3000 "enhanced" on-chip graphics
so if you put a K processor in an h67, you don't get to overclock, doesnt make sense. and if you put the K in the p67, you don't get the extra 3000 K graphics, also doesn't make sense. the only thing that makes sense is to put a regular sandy bridge in an h67.
so what have i have gotten wrong?
thanks for all the help

ps another issue, im on linux (debian, but ubuntu would be ok also). from googling it seems linux support for the on-chip graphics wont be ready for some time. not a big deal, but would it matter p67/h67 for the eventual linux setup?
