Video caed is ok, using my old monitor now.

My 740N went dead yesterday, only the power light comes on without display. Checked the VGA cable so looks like the display needs repair. Does anyone have the Samsung service centre number in Bangalore or address?

Budget comes after I decide which card will suffice. I'll check the local market for prices tomorrow and check if any dealer can "rent" one for the time needed. 1k for 2 weeks is more than enough.

Going to use it for 2 weeks only, 23k is not feasible.

Need to add a graphics card for a couple of weeks, as I have to run photoshop and powerpoint together on separate monitors, no gaming. Currently using the onboard graphics of Asus P5 GC MX on a 19", 1024 x 768 LCD. The other temporary monitor will be my old 15" CRT at 800 X 600. I don't want...

Have a look at PC Wizard, it's free.

It's quite possible that a different bios version may have a bug in the lan. When 0108 does not support 2gb, it only shows that Asus quality control is zero. Why not use a lan card and see if it works?

When you switch on the bios version is displayed, or just hit delete to get into the bios. This particular asus model has problems, google the net to find them. Some don't even support 2GB ram. The bios version 0108 does not appear on the Asus site!!

I have P5GC MX too. Can you check your Bios version. Is it 0108? What Cpu are you using with it?

The install of XP was bad, very slow in copying files. C drive is almost empty, except for MS office and 2 others. No Visual Studio, absolutely no games, system speed is excellent except for disk operations.

Yes, however PC wizard shows the read speed as 10 times more than the write speed? Even before installing XP, it took ages to copy the files from CD to HDD. I think it's the BIOS, but don't know what needs to be done.

Recently bought an asus P5GC MX motherboard with E4500 and Seagate 250Gb Sata. Using PC wizard 2008 the read drive speed is reported as 166Mb/ps but the write speed is 16Mb/ps ??? Copying a 700mb file between partitions takes about 7 minutes. The Bios is revision 0108 and the Asus site has no...

A google search finds that there are "brackets" which enable a microatx to be fitted into an ATX cabinet. Wonder if they are available here?

Thanks for all the replies. The idea was to buy the mb/cpu/ram in 12k as an upgrade, but it does'nt seem to be possible. Looks like a new cabinet is needed too. Even if I use an Intel D915GAVL mb with a 3Ghz cpu/ 1 Gb ram the old cabinet does not have the slots in front for the USB ports. My...
