[QUOTE="aroy, post: 613546, member: 16090"] It is strange that an i7 MB has less RAM slots than i5 MB. Normally it is the other way round. If your software needs a lot of RAW computing power - large RAW files or video editing then an i7 is better bet. Extra RAM will benefit only if the software can use it, else it is just an idle resource. My suggestion is to find an i7 system that has more RAM slots - 4 minimum, 8 optimum. After all that is what a desktop is good for - lots of RAM slots and lots of Hard drives. A good graphics card van always be added at a later stage, so I would not be much bothered if the system comes with an ordinary card. [/QUOTE]
