    Kind of depends on what you are building.

     

    As a review on Anandtech put it, "What we basically have in the G33 chipset is a P35 core with a "GMA950+" IGP unit tacked on it." So if you don't need the onboard video, then go with the SE. The SE is also cheaper (on Newegg).

    If you think you can’t do something, you’ll never be able to do it. No matter how easy it is.
