i dont oc. so i don know any better but i recently bought e7200+gigabyte ga31m s2l mobo for 6000+2850 (im guessing that mumbaiites can get it for 1k or so less) e7200 has native 2.53 ghz &1333 fsb.its 45nm so i guess its futureproof
sorry y'all for the belated reply.
got the 20k rig with the e7200 ,unfortunately its the ddr2 version(couldnt get the dealer to change since I'd already paid the advance b4 i got the "ddr3 is better" reply) but heres a real shocker- it worx better than the ddr3.i found only minimal (if not...
how bout e7200 + gigabyte g31 + 2gb x1 + 250G hdd + nV8600gt(512)ddr3 +case=19390?
ie 6000+2850+2100+2350+4100+1250+tax=19390

hey its me again *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?p=843903
i've narrowed out the competition to this final list of candidates:-
e2180 3200
gigabyte g31 2850
2gb (800mhz) x1 2100
250 gb seagate sata 2350
nvidia 8600(512mb)...
okay the ultimatum has fallen.plan A (post 55) has been officially eliminated.
folks wont let me buy a better gfx card later so i'll have to make a one time decision now("or wait another 5 years for an upgrade...")
so heres the deal.plz provide a good gfx-procc-mobo combo for gaming in 10k/-...
oh boy!now i'm supremely confused to the max.
the 9500gt kicks 8600 butt but aint expected till a while.so now i'm thinking go for 8400gs+good proccy(main job is gaming....still)and get a better card later (better than 9500 maybe)
also, which biostar are you talking about?
how...
WAIT A MINUTE!!!
The e2xxx series is listed under Pentium Dual-Core Processor list & not undr core2duo.
why?is it not a true dual core?
@snyder:thats ok i'll be using my lg 500g crt monitor.its max resolution is 1024x768

thank you all for your quick responses.
@kooki is there any diff in video encoding speeds?
@hellgate ip35-e sounds expensive at 5k&im not sure i can get my hands on biostar
@khan what is VFM?
@pathik when'll it be released?if its @5k then i may not be able to buy it
why is the e2180 2k/- cheaper than e4500 ?does it have worser perfrmancethan the latter?
