@sudothelinuxwizard A couple of problems with that mobo:
1. Only one M.2 slot. If you ever want to upgrade storage, it's going to be a hassle to move data from your existing drive to the new one.
2. Gigabyte has a v1.0 and a v1.1 out there, make sure you get the latter. Idk what's the difference, but with Gigabyte, it's probably a fix over the original design.

Some may point out the original CPU was faster for what you need. Don't worry about that, they're both plenty fast.

If you are running AI programs, you should have an NVIDIA GPU, RTX 3060 minimum, a 16GB VRAM card is better. You can run quantized (GGUF) models on CPU only, but that's only for LLM, not StableDiffusion. and will be slowerAlso, more CPU cores or threads can be helpful if you are compiling larger projects since you can set up your makefiles such that multiple compiles run at once.

According to HUB (TechSpot), the PG Lightning pretty much just has better heatsinks and more caps.

Better heatsinks sounds better imo. It also has 4x DIMM slots instead of 2, in case you ever plan to upgrade.
