    Friends,
    which one of the following is better for video editing & graphic design?
    1) GA-EP45C-DS3R
    2) MSI P45 Platinum

    I'm a newbie so I've lots of confusion If I buy any one of these two,( or u may suggest others) which Ram(ddr2),Processor(core2duo) & graphics card should I buy (budget = 25000 max)

    Is it OK to buy a ddr2 compatible mob or should I go for one that support both ddr2 & ddr3? cooling solution is also a concern because my current CPU (p4 3.06ghz) just get restarted often due to over heating (weather condition not overclocking):wallbash:

    I dunno, it could be 25000. What we don't know is, 25000 of which currency?

    ¥25,000 = ~£170

    If you're going for graphic design and video editing, and have a £2500 budget, you really should go down the Core i7 route. Core i7 920 looks like the way to go. Probably go for an Asus P6T Deluxe with that. In fact, take a look at the Bit-Tech high-end hardware guide. With that, you could probably cut down on the graphics card and not bother with an SSD.
