    I'm pretty sure the G31MX is capable of FSB400 (1600 QPed) which will get your Quad to 3.6GHz or E7200 to 3.8GHz :)

    so what is the difference between da P35 chipset and da G31??

    Because even though 9400GT is released quite recently, it is slower than 8600GT :P

    And I'm not saying you can't play Crysis on a decent VGA. You just need to buy a decent VGA. Bare minimum of a decent VGA is nVidia 9600GT or Radeon 3870/4830 .
    how much would a 8600GT cost?
    machan umba hithanawada mehe tiyena jeewitheta ahala nathi chinese brand 1ka 9600GT VGA 1kata 15000 yata karana eka mole ati wadak kiyala?

    i brought my Nvidia FX5200 Eagle VGA card 3 yrs ago and it gave me coloured dots and other lines after 2 yrs and just died.now im in a 32MB vga :P

    ya who knows....anyway im lackin USBs n SATAs alda tym...my current PC nly has 4USB n 2SATA 1 :(


    G31 max RAM support is only 4 gigs.. while the p35 supports upto 8 gigs..

    the G31 does not support COre 2 Extreme(ViiV technology) procs and the P35 does support Core 2 extreme

    and the p35 has more USB ports

    p35 supports dual channel DDR 3 memory.. the G31 does not
