Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[keith_j_snyder2]

but E2160 performs better or is at par with X2 400+.both procies also cost almost the same (X2 4000+ -> 2.6k & E2160 -> 2.7k).
also E2160 oc's better than X2 4000+.
so ithink its better to buy the E2160 instead of X2 4000+.

So true!
Besides this, i have seen people overclocked their E2160 @ 3.0 GHz on stock cooling.

OK guys, how good is the Intel DG33TL Board? I am buying one shortly, so tell me am I doing right?

 

[Choto Cheeta]

if you have a grfx card then buy ABiT IP35-E and if you plan to run onboard then go for XFX 630i 7150

Intel DG33TL motherboard is good, however have a look at DG31PR motherboard just cos it is cheap & provides adequate enough features.

What DG33TL has over DG31PR

1) Support for 8 GB RAM instead of 4 GB. Do u need 8 GB? 4 RAM slots instead of 2

2) 7.1 Channel Audio instead of 5.1 Channel, again do u need it?

3) Support for HDMI & HDCP, but this is irrelevant unless you don't plan to buy a graphics card.

DG31PR seems like a better & balanced buy to me.

Is 2.5" HDD available in 500GB and if yes, what is the approx cost of the same.

 

[Pathik]

Yep they have started becoming available but are very costly.. If u just want portable storage, get the WD Passport or the Seagate FreeAgent.

dual channel is not present in it.

and its for a friend, not myself. He is determined to have Dual channel. And if this turns out to be good, I myself might concider buying one. We both have the same current config, thats P4, Intel 915GLVG mobo, and ddr ram. Our mobos have no AGP or PCIe slots, so we both want to upgrade to something that can last till nehalem arrives. I have the patience to keep my current rig and wait, but he wants to go for something that can help him play crysis before marriage . My patience too is wearing out, so I am also concidering an upgrade. We both want a solution thats as cheap as possible but still works fine. I don't mind OverClocking, and intend to do it to the maximum level that touches the boderline of safety(343.15 Kelvin). And my friend doesn't mind OCing if its done by someone ecept himself, who knows what to do.

DG31PR = Rs 3,800

 

[nish_higher]

[gxsaurav]

Buy it, buy it right now. He will not be able to play Crysis after marriage, as his life will be in Crysis

 

[nish_higher]

^ lol
Play crysis 1 before marriage
After that its Crysis 2,3,4...100,etc...

DG31PR = Rs 3,800

what ?
deltapage shows 3600 including TN VAT
in chd its for 3650

 

[gxsaurav]

Cost is always high in lucknow which we have to reduce it by bargaining.

Anyway, I am buying the computer today or tomorrow. Should I go ahead or change something?

 

[MetalheadGautham]

Buy it, buy it right now. He will not be able to play Crysis after marriage, as his life will be in Crysis

thats why he wants to upgrade soon
and I am struggling to find a good setup for cheap price.
there are two wannabe crysis player's dreams involved here.

 

[gxsaurav]

^^^ Crysis runs on Windows Vista
