thanks all... :)
decided on Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 512 MB DDR3. Unfortunately, itz not available in any of the Chennai stores (however I easily get the 1 GB ver for Rs 4600/-... surprising!!!)
Any idea abt the lack of these cards guyz?? All the shops I visited (even reliable ones I trust like...
thnx for the gr8 advice guyz...
@Cool Buddy
ya... but its PCIe v1.0 (not 2.0).. so another bottleneck!!!
sorely tempted by the HD4670, but guessing PCIe v1.0, the CPU, RAM and mobo are too much of a bottleneck :???:!
can anyone give me an idea of the perf boost i get migrating from XFX 6200...
@sourav
concerned abt spending 4.2k on this rig... is it worth it with 1gb ddr1 and PCI-E 1.0 ver, or wud it be a bottleneck (cpu + pcie + ram)?
was checking out XFX HD 4650 512mb @ 2.9k...
hd 4670 i hear is a gr8 card... will i see the perf in my old rig?
and my PSU is a basic one...
Hi
I have a PC with this config:
Mobo: nVidia nForce 4 nf4xk8mc-rs
Proc: AMD Athlon XP 3500+ overclocked @ 2.4 GHz
GF Card: GeForce 6200 TC PCI-E
RAM: 1 GB DDR1
Using a Sony EX300 TV (22") @ 1366 X 768 res
Can I use this gig for some casual gaming, by upgrading the graphics card? Esp at 1366...
Hey Guys,
Thinking of buying a modded PS2. Any idea where/what price I can get it in Chennai? Also, are component out cables bundled with it??
Thanks guys!
Ya.. and ensure you get Athlon ii x4 with the C3 revision. It will run cooler and will overclock better.
They will all be ADX...GM instead of ADX...GI serial.
AMD has upgraded their athlon ii range to C3 revision silicon. Check the below article:
*www.cpu-world.com/news_2010/2010040201_Athlon_II_revision_C3_pictures.html
this translates to less power consumption/heating... so more overclocking :grin:
Guys, have any of you tried the C3...
@ajai5777
The athlon ii x4 config looks gr8, and i think 2 gb ram + HD 4670 seems a gr8 choice.
but i need more convincing as to whether athlon x4 scores over i3 in scenarios other than encoding (which I hardly use). Wouldn't superior architecture of i3 & more L3 cache overscore the athlon II...
Hey Guys,
Planning to upgrade my aging Athlon64 based sys... RIP baby!
Will use the rig for browsing, dev work (will run an app / web server / eclipse) and casual gaming. Thinking between Core i3 vs Athlon ii X4.
Points to ponder:
1. i3 consumes lesser power, runs cooler
2. i3 much better...
I want to sell my ipod Touch 16 GB. It's in good condition (no scratches) with 5 months warranty left, leather pouch + charger.
Price: Rs 11,000/- [inclusive shipping]

^ what do they mean by that? am confused
r the soft keys awkward when it comes to playing games?
How is n78 for playing games? do the keypad and nav keys support fast gameplay?
The fact that n78 doesn't have even a single game onboard is a big minus. hope ngage support comes soon. need ur views fast guys!
