4400+ = 3875/-
ASUS M2A - VM = 3875/-
Transcend 1 GB DDR2 667 = 950/-


E4500 = 5200/-
Intel DG33FB = 5200/-
Transcend 1 GB DDR2 667 = 950/-

 

[shyamno]

Intel DG33FB ....would be a better choice....???

What about intel G965RY and also the Biostar Nvidia 7050/7150 ...??

Why do you need a AGP supporting motherboard??
I dont think you can get a new motherboard that supports AGP these days..
You need to get a second hand motherboard.

The unfortunate reason is, I sunk in 10K on a XFX 6600GT graphics card at that time (when Digit "recommended" that AGP was the next-best-thing-since-sliced-bread and also said that PCI-E "in their opinion" is going to take quite some time to become mainstream). Too bad that I didn't realize that "quite some time" meant 2 months - my heart bleeds to see this graphics card go waste doing nothing.

So there, that's my sob story. Can anybody help? How do I even go and search for a 2nd-hand motherboard? Any pointers sir???

Going for an ancient Mobo for sake of a past mistake?

Sad story

I am feeling almost same when I bought 8600 GT just to know that 7900 GS / 1950XT are way faster than it and Vista doesnt require Dx 10 haha

Now this system will run 24x7, it has to be a power saver too...

Here you dont need Input devices or VDU, as its a second system so KVM switch will take care of that ... This system will run Windows XP or a Linux distro (which ever you prefer) with torrent clients like uTorrent or or fav ... Note its a second system for those who use a high performance over clocked power hungry system for their main use... You may follow this guide to set up a simple lan and share the net connection between ur main system and this seeder box

For those who wondering What is a KVM Switch ??...

can anyone say anything about the overclockability of the biostar 7050 motherboard......there are no reviews on it in net

i am not looking for the extreme max overclock but like reaching 3-3.3 ghz in a e2140

 

[Pathik]

I dont think it is too much of a OCer.. If u wanna OC get a Biostar p35 with a cheap gpu..
btw Chotoji vapas aa gaye

Please reply....

@Edburg

Sorry bro... few days ago in a local store i saw the BIOSTAR 7150 boad and I went through its manual, I didnt find any option in it which suggest it would support OC... Frequency are all locked under this board

@pathiks

hmm... yaar I have become BSNL connection (kavi hu to kavi nahi) right now in and again would be gone as study presure kicking in

@shyamno

say no to Intel boards as really not value for money as comes with locked BIOS as X2 4000 + M2N-MX SE is far far better than E2140 + DG33BU solution

Intel E2140 is only good and will out perform any contemporary X2 range when u combine it with XFX 650i ultra or higher and OC 10 to 25 %

 

[Edburg]

thx for the info pathiks and choto....

i was looking for a budget overclocker board...even 50% overclock will do..seems the best bet is to go Abit ip35-e for 6.3k and maintian compatibility with penryn

any info on when the new nvidia 750i chipset or the AMD tri-core will launch ??

 

[Choto Cheeta]

@Edburg

Didnt get your point bro... XFX 650i ultra is under ur budget !!! isnt it ??

I or rather my friend is not going to overclock it....so he just need a good upgrade with descent mobo having onboard IGP and a good processor...

So ..which one he should go ...

Processor = E4500

Mobo = 1)Intel G33BU
2)Intel G965RY
3)Biostar 7050/7150

or any combo..better than this....

 

[Choto Cheeta]

this that budget, Personally I would suggest none of the intel solution... I would say, AMD X2 4800 with M2A-VM (AMD 690G) or M2NPV-VM (Nvidia 6150)

Deltapage lists MSI K9MM-V for Rs 2150/-

I 'de suggest a 350W PSU which will be sufficient to run this config.
And buy those EE or BE processors from AMD they draw only 45W power and same as the other processors!
