    soundblaster live 24-bit

    Even i was getting it at 1950 with bill and 1900 without. BTW if you are getting a latest Mobo Intel 925 Chipset above or the MSI Neo4F upwards..you will get ALC 880. The onboard 915P uses the ALC 860 HD audio. It's pretty good. Although the SB live wud be definitely better. But you...

    Atlast a world class Chassis in India

    All the PSU's with the generic cabby's are crap anyway.. The point to consider here is that does this Chassis lower the temprature. I don't care much about the build quality.. but this is the only cabby i saw with a proper side vent and a rear big fan.. Anyway my Board temp's are...

    Hey Mohit. Saw this in your Signature rite now. I purchased this cabby a few days ago. Is this the Ibox Grantsdale cabinet with Side vent.. Wanted to know if it's helping you keep the temps down. What's your temp at Idle and load for CPU and the board. Thanks,

    How is sony DVD writer, suggession please

    The Benq and the Pioneer rock! But LG pretty much sucks! In the Indian market i think a Sony(rebadged Liteon) would be better than a LG for sure. I know of 2 LG drives that were defective. One was DOA. And the other had to be replaced thrice. Try and get a Benq. Dw1640 is available if you...

    MSI RS480M2-IL: My review

    Yes i was very disappointed with the sound. Supposed to use the ALC 650 5.1 codec. But the sound is not in the same league as the new Mobo's (AMD or Intel Based) that feature the ALC 860/861 codec. This sounded as bad as my old system on an Intel 865 chipset based mobo.

    Plz complete my Intel PC config..

    Thanks for the info. There is a SATA NCQ 7200.8 - what does this mean. How is a disk with NCQ different from one without it. Are these priced different? And does the SEAGATE 160 GB SATA have a 8 Mb Buffer - or is it 2 Mb only?

    MOtherboard woes - DDR or DDR2??

    Yes i think getting more DDR is a better solution than forking out so much for DDR2.. Get a Transcend/Kingston/Corsair 512*2 PC3200 in Dual channel.. YOu'll have 1 GB RAm with smoking performance! For Movies and normal tasks the GMA 900 onboard on a GAV shd be more than enuf.. You can...

    Plz complete my Intel PC config..

    Thanks.. will check the prices and maybe get one of these! Wherever i seemed to look on the net- the Benq DW1640 was consistently topping the benchmarks. From what i could get -NEC and Benq seem to be the best. I have a CDRW by Sony - it pretty much sucks! So was not overly keen on going...
