Intel Core i5 intergrated graphics

[joffy]

I've not upgraded for a long time and I'm currently considering a Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 board and the Intel i5 cpus, but see they now have integrated graphics!
Can this feature be disabled easily? I have a ATI 5850 so don't want any potential conflicts.

Cheers.

If you buy a P67 motherboard you can't use the integrated graphics anyway.

If you want to overclock you need to buy a 2500K or 2600K processor and a P67 motherboard. The "K" is the important part.

Thanks for the info, not into overclocking.

Just ordered;
Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3-B3 Socket 1155 Motherboard
Core i5 2500 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
G-Skill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600mhz Ripjaws Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V

Should keep me going a few years.

Change your order.

Assuming you've ordered from OCUK then the retail 2500K is only £4 more than the retail 2500. For the extra £4 you get:

- the ability to overclock if you want to (dead easy on Sandybridge)
- better saleability/price in the future
- a free copy of Shogun 2

You'd be mad not to do it .

Thanks, but already have Shogun 2 and didn't buy from OCUK.
