T430 vs T330

I'm about to purchase a small server to host Quickbooks and SQL express running Win2012r2 Essentials for a custom POS application in a small business office.  All things being equal (cpu/memory/raid/disk/etc) - any reason to go with the T330 over the T430?  Actually the CPU is different, E3-1220 (T330) vs E5-2603 (T430). Price wise they're about the same.  Want to make sure I'm not missing any advantages with the T330 by going with the T430.  Thanks

Hello

Higher tier servers generally offer more configuration options. Also, the base feature set may be different. You can configure the servers to be nearly identical, but the T430 should have a higher maximum possible configuration.

The main difference between the T330 and T430 is memory. The T330 only supports unbuffered DIMMs, the T430 supports buffered DIMMs. The T430 can have much more memory populated.

Thanks
