Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. Having seen members posting good opinion about SMC in other popular forums, I had bought one MSI 5570 1GB online from SMC few months back. The box had importers sticker (Acro Engineering Company), got proper VAT paid bill and was charged only the...

It is a nuisance and seems from Karnataka BSNL! How to block the site which has been hijacking my home page for the last few months?

Thanks to all of you for the quick replies and suggestions. Initially I had tested the mains socket using a multimeter. The voltage between left and right (neutral and phase) was normal. (~ 220V) Between earth and phase, it was near to the mains voltage. (~ 217-218V) and between earth and...

It is found that there is electric shock when I touch any metal part of the cabinet. Over the last several years I never had such an issue. What may be the reason and solution? The first thing I did on finding the issue was to check the mains earthing using a multimeter and it seems alright...

Also my Casio Illuminator wrist watch bought about 11 years back is still in regular use! Even the battery is original but the strap has been replaced several times. One more thing I can remember is a Powersafe 700 VA twin battery UPS (made in Kerala) which served me 7 years until it was damaged...

I can give just one example. After more than nine years of trouble free service, my Logitech mouse was donated few days back and a new one bought.

Recently I happened to purchase the same for Rs.1300/- since no better brand was available here. But I find it far better than my old BSNL supplied one.

With many of the 5230 users utilizing the GPS function and Nokia navigation recently made free, the holder becomes most useful. When I saw it, I enquired if it is available separately and the shop keeper replied that if it was so, he would have bought the first piece!

Get Belkin only which is the best. Nowadays available even here and price has also come down. Lifetime warranty.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. Recently, a dealer in TE was giving VX450 for 3.5K shipped. Not sure if it is still available. (Myself still on a five year old Antec SP500!)

Hitachi, Samsung etc. being sold in very small numbers, complaints about them too will be rare. Between Seagate and WD, complaints regarding each are seasonal, ie., varying with models, batches etc. With Seagate, there were lots of complaints regarding their 7200.11 series and now it is the turn...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here. Ordered MSI 5570 1GB DDR3 from SMC and it was shipped yesterday. Total cost Rs.4750/-. It is enough for me since I don't game. 5450 should be below 4K but IIRC, it is 64 bit.

Yes, it seems many have migrated to other forums.
