Hey guys

Watcha think about an upgrade for my bro's computer. The rest of the parts are ok. Just need to upgrade the cpu and the mobo.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

and one of the two. (cant tell the difference other than one is p31 and the other is p35)

GIGABYTE GA-P31-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P31 ATX Intel Motherboard
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P31-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P31 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
 
The P31 just has less onboard USB ports, than the DS3L....and supports a max of 4GB, as oppose to the P35's 8GB limit. The P31 also has the ICH7 chipset, instead of the ICH9, like the P35.
