    Connecting 2 PCs wirelessly with D-Link DSL-2730U wi-fi router

    Need help deciding on a Low to Mid-range Home PC

    Need help deciding on a Low to Mid-range Home PC

    Since we call it "on-board" graphics, I always thought it was on the motherboard! Okay, so is the AMD A10 good enough to play games w/out buying a separate graphics card? I'm really wary of buying online. It's a case of one bitten twice shy -- only, in my case, I've been bitten thrice! Three...

    Thanks, Harshil. Thanks Akash. With your suggestion, the PC may come to about Rs.33,500/- (I'm guessing with the AMD A10, I won't need a separate graphics card for mid-range gaming. Is that correct?) Some doubts: a) Is the AMD A10 a Phenom CPU? b) Will a Gigabyte motherboard have a good...
