    My brother recently broke the dfi rdx200 board on his pc.
    Now i have to upgrade:D.
    I have decided to put in a AMD Athlon II X2 240 processor.
    My question is whats the difference between the MSI 770-C45 and the MSI 770-G45 boards,
    since there is only a 3 euro difference between them, And will the G45 overclock as well as the C45?

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    go for the asus M478-em or the pro much better overclockers and the EM will take ddr2 ram if you're still planning on using that from the old machine costs about £58

    Thanks for answering so quick.
    I am ordering all my parts of www.komplett.ie
    This the only motherboard they had that resembled that was the ASUS M4N78 SE.
    Is this much the same?, Will i see much of a difference between ddr2 and ddr3?

    Thanks

    ddr3 is much quicker but obviously you'll need a ddr3 board ,The board you're looking at is very similar but has 2 ram slot compared to 4 on the EM

    is the ASUS M4A785D-M PRO similar to the M478-em?
    it seem to be pretty good as it is only 65 euro and supports ddr2 and ddr3 ram
