Thanks for all the suggestions. I went with the same config with a few modifications due to availability etc. The changes I made were Motherboard: Gigabyte H97. LG DVD writer instead of Asus since it was only 900 RAM: HyperX Fury 8GB 1866Mhz (Free upgrade) Cooler Master K380 Corsair VS450 Also...

I think I'll stretch it a bit and go for i5 instead in that case as suggested by you guys. What graphics cards would you suggest to go along with it in the future? Will I be able to add an SSD and another HDD to this config in future?

I compared both the chips here and wasn't quite impressed with the power consumption. AMD consumes almost double of what Intel does, and there doesn't seem to be much difference in both performance wise (?). Over a period, the operating cost would be higher. Good point about the RAM but...

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: Photo editing softwares like GIMP, Photoshop, Lightroom and...

I used an Artis multimedia PS2 keyboard at home for nearly 13 years until it conked today morning! :wah: Keys are still good and worked perfectly without any issues. Now the PC doesn't detect it any more. I used to work in a transcription company once so our office keyboards used to see pretty...

I've been having the same problem over last week, and I wasnt downloading any update so its unlikely to be related to the update. I had this problem quite long back for a while after which it rectified and connection had become stable. I think calling up BSNL would help rectify the problem.

Thanks VexByte and NIGHTMARE.. I was afraid of getting this reply. :(

I just switched to 750 unlimited plan. Want to know what is the torrent speed you guys are getting on this plan. I'm getting like 30-35 tops on a good torrent now. I was on 500+ plan earlier and used to get around 200 kb/s after configuring port forwarding and reannouncing torrents on...

I check my usage at data.bsnl.in and my mail id ends with @mail.bsnl.in unlike the dataone.in site where it ends with @dataone.in. I dunno which is NIB-1 and 2 but for both users it seems to be different. In fact, I cant even remember my portal ID. There are 11 digits in it!

Without portal ID you cant check account usage. You have to call up BB customer care and they will provide you with one.

Tried this and everything works except for an initial hitch.. When when my PC wakes up from hibernation, it goes to the logon screen and I've to click my username.. Is there anyway to avoid this?

Was digging through the forum for something and saw this. I'd this headache for quite a while and tried lot of things. To cut a long story short, finally a boot-time scan scheduled in Avast got rid of the virus. That's how I fixed it. If you want to read the long story of it...

Re: Post what you purchased. I didnt check the shader model while deciding, which I should have.. I was advised against 6200 cos it was turbocache model and has less small amount of memory on the card itself to reduce cost. I didnt want to go for 7k series as I didnt want to spend so much on a...

Re: Post what you purchased. Bought WD 500 GB w/ 16 MB cache SATA for Rs 5600 and Gainward FX Powerpack 5900 XT AGP card for Rs 2400 from SJP Road Bangalore. Yes AGP cos I've an old MOBO without PCI-E and I dont plan to upgrade for another year..

I have about the same budget.. How much will the 6600 cost like you said?

I think this problem has something to do with Monster Truck Madness 2 that i'd installed recently. after a few days, MTM2 had this problem with grays and whites. after i pause the game and then return the colors and graphics used to run properly. i've uninstalled the game as of now. Strangely, I...

Still the same problem after all that and fresh install. No colors except 2 shades of gray. only the weapons display and crosshair are colored. e.g. take this page. you cant see any words or posts but you can just see the outlines of the posting box as gray and white. hope u get what i'm trying...

I have P IV 2.4 GHz HT, XP SP2, Intel 865G motherboard, 256MB ram, and onboard graphics. I'm not able to play Recoil properly. The game loads, but there is no color. the textures are mostly white or gray and impossible to make out anything. i tried running it in compatibility mode for both 95...

i bought recoil today to play for nostalgia sake. it runs on xp under the compatability mode but the screen is washed out with white and some gray terrains. no colors. i'd got the same problem when i played monster truck madness 2 got free with june's digit. i copied msvfw32.dll into the recoil...

I wish I could blow that much on a gaming rig. Well, just one suggestion. Get a PhysX chipset. Mind u, its NOT A GRAPHICS CARD. Its called a PPU or Physics Processing Unit. I guess it ships for $300. Its supposed to give a realistic feel to how particles and physical objects behave in a game...
