    Building a Home PC for INR 30k.

    Thanks ASHISH65. Would an AMD-based rig be better for the said usage or Intel-based rig be sufficient? And just to cover all ground, how much would an equivalent AMD rig cost me?

    Building a Home PC for INR 30k.

    1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.') Ans: No gaming. Mainly used for MS Office 2010, 1080p movies...

    Upgrading from my Nokia 5800XM

    Hi guys, I've decided to buy the Nokia N8. Is there any price cuts expected any time soon or can i buy it right away? The dark grey color seems to be out of stock at both letsbuy.com and flipkart.com. However, saholic.com seems to have stock of the same. Price after applying coupon code 20.7k...

    Upgrading from my Nokia 5800XM

    @PraKs: Yes i did get a chance to check the O1 and the Ace. Both are good phones in their respective price ranges. Personally, i found the Ace's UI to be a lot more intuitive than the O1. OTOH, O1 felt very zippy. @kingpair: Thanks for the inputs. My only qualm with the N8 is that the UI...

    Upgrading from my Nokia 5800XM

    Hey guys, Today, i went to check out the phones first hand. The following is my take on these phones. Galaxy S/SL: UI felt great. But ruled out as it felt a little too big. This also rules out all the 4+ inch monsters. Moto Defy: Felt perfectly sized but wasn't impressed with the UI...

    Upgrading from my Nokia 5800XM

    Thanks for the response guys. I'm not going to invest in a dual-core phone just yet. Maybe the next upgrade will be to a multi-core phone. For this upgrade i'd like to stick to single core phones. My only crib with the Arc is the MASSIVE screen size. I don't think a 4.2 inch screen will be...

    Upgrading from my Nokia 5800XM

    Hi Guys, It's been almost 2 years with the brilliant 5800XM and i've enjoyed every moment with it. But now, it is time to move on to the world of Androids. 1. Budget? 20k. Can stretch if the phone is really worth it 2. Display type and size? I'm ok with TFT or SLCD or AMOLED as long...

    New PC for around 15-20k

    Hi guys, Posting on behalf of a friend who is looking to replace his P4 based rig. He already has a Samsung 19 inch LCD monitor so that won't be needed. He uses his PC till it stops working, so a little bit of future-proofing will help a great deal 1. What is the purpose of the computer...

    New desktop for around 25-30k

    The build is complete. Picked up a 6 month old used XFX HD 5770, 1GB DDR5 GPU for 5.5k. That should be more than sufficient given my usage.

    New desktop for around 25-30k

    Hi guys, Finally bought the rig yesterday. The motherboard unavailability did overshoot my budget a bit. Rig bought: Processor : AMD Athlon II X4 640 @ 4.2k Motherboard : Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 @ 6.8k (!) (How good or bad is this?) RAM : Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333MHz @ 2.4k HDD : WD...

    New desktop for around 25-30k

    guys, Gigabyte 880gma is not available. Only the 880gm is available. Msi 880gma- e45 is also doubtful. Any other options?
