intel chipsets, what does 945/975 offer over 915?

I don't want onboard graphics. I do want sata2, audio, lan, usb, firewire, (basically everything) to work, out of the box.

 

As far as ox86 is concerned, and using a Pentium D, will a 975 m/b have much performance increase over a 945 m/b? 945 over 915? Now what if I change that Pentium D to a Core 2? I don't think the 915 supports core2...

 

What chipsets do the mac mini's have? What about the Mac Pro's?

 

Thanks,

we in the same boat.... but since no one will likely answer you just like they didn't to me.... I'll answer a bit;).... apparently 945 has a better built in video card then 915..... or something like that..... as for 957 dunno....

 

it appears to be fairly difficult to get a strait forward answer when it comes to what is best to go with, but its understood..... me I was told once that 945 is best bet though:P by one of the few who answered:P
