Anyone? Just wanted to know thoughts on the above.

Thanks sam. Since I will be purchasing 4gb ddr3 ram will the sideport 128 mb be of any use to me at all? Any giga equivalent with such a sideport? If the giga has all solid caps then that means the quality is better/sturdier right? Also, I did some reading on the chipsets(also saw some...

Hmm. I personally have never backed up my windows partition. When windows gets currupted I simply format & reinstall it since I have nothing important on my C drive anyway. I currently have a really old(around 2003-2004) dvd combo(cd writer) of liteon that is still fully functioning in my p4...

Do you know of the availability of Bio boards? A local guy told me it's hard getting a specific model. I saw someone on these boards bought the 785g bio board for 3.9. That would be a difference of 400-600 bucks from the GIGA boards. Is the slightly better IGP worth that much? Are they...

I have never needed to boot or use ms-DOS, so that doesn't matter to me. Is that the only problem you've encountered with SATA? Then it's no big deal. It should be able to use my windows xp back disc if windows crashes. Are there any performance/speed benefits of one after the other? Also is...

Lightscribe is just extra benefit. I don't need it. (It's for making design on the disc right?) What do you mean it comes without a box? No warranty/bill either? How much is boxed one.

Any one else have any opinions on sata or ide?

I guess I'll stick with a decent IGP board then. Is the 880gm the best I can get for this price range? I find it odd that it costs the same as the 785 board unless it's lacking some features. Any idea? Where are you getting these prices from. I checked itware,smc and prime websites. Very...

What's the price of LG or LITEon dvd writer? I've heard prices being mentioned from 900 to 1400rs. Should I get SATA or IDE? Also who has the better service /warranty in Mumbai. Will buy from a local shop. Btw-I keep getting a posting error that my message is blank. Anyone else?

Hi, I will be buying my new rig very soon this month. I need a decent IGP for the time being since I will buy a good graphics card after 4-5 months. I found these 3 models by looking up some older topics: Biostar TA785G3 HD 4.5k GIGABYTE GA-MA785GMT-US2H 4.5k Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H 4.5k (I...

The replies have been helpful. I guess I'm going for lite-on or LG depending on price and warranty quality. Btw Gagan, don't motherboards come with 6+ sata ports? Is there any benefit to using one over the other? Besides the type of cable.

I suppose the guy who was advising against the Lg writer probably had a rare bad piece. Still open to suggestions.

Thanks for the reply. I read that lg writers usually die after 1 yr. I remember a few years back 2008 or so, that liteon was always the most frequently praised model in tech mags. Don't know about it's reputation now.

Hi, I'll be purchasing my rig soon. I was thinking about which Dvd writer to go for. My only experience has been with a Liteon dvd combo( no writer) and it's working for years! I don't know if it would work(cables) with a brand new pc. Plus i'd rather get a new one that burns dvd's...

According to transcend's website the model I'm referring to is 25m. Welcome to Transcend Website - StoreJet 25M (grey & orange). Its the only kind I've seen at shops. I haven't come across the 25f.(*www.transcendusa.com/products/ModDetail.asp?ModNo=226&LangNo=0&Func1No=&Func2No=). Doesn't...

Appreciate the replies. The shop you mentioned, their website doesn't list transcend. Plus, the seagate portable drive price is higher by 100rs than a shop I know in the suburbs. Also, any opinions on transcend vs seagate?

I was interested to know the prices for 500gb external/portable hd for seagate, transcend and others. One shopkeeper in the suburbs quoted 3800 for transcend and 4050 for seagate. Is this correct? or too high? Which one should I go for? Transcend one seems to be the most sturdy and...
