    2nd ram slot does not work

    In your case I think ur mobo has a max limit of 512MB. Older mobos had limits like this. Check ur mobo specs.

    Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. Cool...then I think Mercury 8600GT wud be the perfect choice for a budget gamer (like me). Am currently running an 8400GS, but if 8600 is this cheap, I'll buy one and gift the 8400GS to my bro :)

    Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. Guys, how's the Mercury 8600GT....heard that it's available for 3K. Is it a good buy? If it's available for 3K, how come people are buying other brands like XFX for much higher price?

    Looking Cheap upgrade.. 2 questions

    Dont worry about phenom for now. By the time phenom becomes mainstream, your motherboard will become quite outdated. Then u'll be better off selling ur mobo/proccy/ram combo and getting a newer motherboard which supports phenom properly. For ur ultra low budget,just get something which will get...

    Get some cheap local brand TV tuner card for around 1000 rupees or so. Encoding can be done using software. This is the cheapest option I can think of.

    Hardware that you should NOT buy

    100% true...never try to save money on keyboard and mouse. Good ones cost so little...u wont save much money on being stingy anyway. Your comfort is worth much more than the money u'd save on a crappy keyb/mouse. Never ever get anything lower than a standard logitech/microsoft keyb/mouse.

    Hardware that you should NOT buy

    Add SONY-NEC(Liteon) DVD Writer (model no AD-1790A) to the list. Drive makes so much noise....and tray mechanism is so very crude...feels like it's gonna just break away one day...ughh!! But my 3 year old LG DVD writer still works flawlessly...and tray mechanism seems so sophisticated by...

    I have an offer for a used Linksys WRT54G Wireless router. Bought in May 2007...having 3 years warranty. I thought it was a good price, but I can see that new netgear wireless routers are available for around 1.9K, Do you guys think 1.6K for this is a good deal?

    New PC Problem

    Sounds like a power supply problem. Check if the 4 pin/8pin additional power connector is plugged in properly to the mobo (this is in addition to the 24 pin ATX power connector). If this is not connected properly, system wont get enough power and will behave erratically. U cud also try removing...

    DVD RAM drive out of order, HELP!!

    Yeah..if it's in warranty period, take it back to the shop. Else try cleaning the lens (carefully..dont use force) with some spirit and a soft tipped cloth or cotton swab (now that u've opened the drive). If this also doesnt work, just throw away the drive and get a new one. It's quite cheap...

    Upgrade Query!

    1GB DRR RAM will cost u 2300 which is a dead investment. I wud say get another 256MB DDR for Rs 650 to get ur system RAM to 512MB (u shud be able to run XP comfortably with that). If u r ready to spend 2300 for RAM + 500 for SATA adapter, then it's better to upgrade the whole thing.
