p55 vs h57 choice

[Deleted member 54091]

atm looking to purchase a new pc

is the only difference between p55 and h57 is that the latter can utilise the onboard graphics on the clarksdale cpu's.

basically what im planning to do is buy a h57 + core i3 and use the onboard graphics, untill nvidia fermi is released.

atm im eyeing the Asus P7H57D-V Evo
it comes with usb 3.0 and sata 6gb/s

so i want to know if i should hold off and wait till more h57 boards are released or just go with a p55?

ive found this

is there any advantages going with p55 over h57 or are they exactly the same

Is there a Crossfire/SLI option on the H55/H57?

Looking at that chart it appears not?

Looking at some of the boards OcUK have in, some of them support Crossfire and SLI.

the mentioned model Asus P7H57D-V Evo does have crossfire & sli support.

im just trying to figure out whether the h57 just had added IGP support
