core i7 920's price is 14.5k and not 32.5k
1) do not get Intel motherboard. Get Gigabyte or ASUS or EVGA offerings.
2) Phenom II is a terrific processor and gives superb performance in gaming and Phenom II X4 955 is an allrounder but considering that you have 70k or so budget, I would suggest core i7 over phenom II
3) if you are not doing any overclocking, you can stick to stock cooler, given that your CPU has enough airflow. core i7 runs a bit hot. You can monitor the temperatures of i7 intially and post them here. we can then check if aftermarket cooler is necessary or not.
Sorry I was talking about (Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 + core i7 920) = 32.5 K. So is it correct cost as it is showing 2.5K difference with your quoted cost 30K? I will check with vendor again.
Thanks.
Ok, i understand d convenience,when qty is 14
y all amd
why not 7 intel & 7 amd
try variation for future convenience
hmm. not sure if core i7 supports virtualization. will check and let you know.
This machine will be used 95 % for virtual machines for doing labs. (For example - VMWARE or HYPER-v installed and I may need to start 4-7 machines on while testing). These machines will be only switched on while testing so you can say only for 2-3 hours testing. (MCSE Labs, windows 2003, windows 2008, exchange 2010)
I may play few games for initial stage (only for few days) but I usually avoid them later as it affect my studies. In fact I am ok to spend as less as possible on graphic card to save that amout to spend on cooling. (Though I think I will go with stock cooler for time being)
I think we are going in right direction and core i7 920 with 6Gb seems like right solution. Just hoping that it should cost the same amount mentioned.
Thanks.
^^ I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO GO WITH q9550 THIS WILL HELP YOU
