Hi, I had ordered a DH55TC at my local dealer but instead he got a DP55WB. Processor is i3-530, someone told me that dp55wb won't support the onboard graphics of this processor. I'm not buying a seperate graphics card at the moment. Plz tell me about the compatibility of DP55WB with i3-530 . Is it better to buy DH55TC?
Thanks
 
If you want onboard graphics, you need DH55TC or any other H55 chipset mobo. I know that i5-750 is compatible with both P55 and H55 but not sure if i3s are compatible with P55.
 
I've asked him to get DH55TC as I'm not buying a separate graphics card as of now. Thanks for your reply :)
 
It is compatible but then u have to use a seperate GFX as the P-55 cant make use of the on board IGP of the proccy.
The P-55 boards doesnt have VGA, DVI or HDMI ports. So u wont be able to connect ur monitor to it and run the system unless u get a seperate Graphics card. If that not possible then change the mobo to a H-55 one.
