Hello! I find myself on these forums very often so I decided to finally sign up and ask a question!
On my machine I currently have a "Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1155" server processor. Why did I go server well it was $100 cheaper and only lacked on board graphics until the new editions released.
I've read that the 4th gens wont see much difference in the 6th gens but I was curious if this was the same affect for a Xeon processor? Would the i7 6th gen perform much better than mine?
The main reason I ask is because my motherboard is dying and before I go about buying a pre-used or clearanced motherboard I wanted to know if instead it would just be worth upgrading. I found a few motherboards that support DDR3 along with the Skylake processor, or should I go all in with DDR4 as well?
I don't mind dropping the funds for a CPU upgrade if its worth the price. Thank you!
