Well guys at last my 4 year old processor (P III 933 Mhz Socket 370) failed after frequent PC hangs.Now I have to get a nwe one but sadly the box pack of New P III CPUS are not available in Kolkata. All that is available is Old (second hand) Used ones.The dealers are Saying that I cannot get new CPU in india

A new P3 may not be available now. I guess the dealers are quite right. You will have to either settle for a second hand one or upgrade MoBo, processor, RAM, cabinet.

If you decide for a 2nd hand one, there will be no guarantee for how long it will work :(

Thanks guys I guess Now I have to go for New Sys. So Please suggest me a Config with the lowest possible Budget. Its Because I will be using this PC only for Surfing Web and Downloading Stuffs form Internet.(This is the Only reason I wanted to get my P3 machine running again).So Pls Suggest me a config for such a low end PC with Prices and i don;t Mind if it is Intel or AMD

You don't need to change your monitor, modem, CD drives, keyboard, mouse, etc.

You need only a MoBo, processor, RAM and cabinet. Take a P4 2.2 (minimum available) with original Intel board (not too cheap, but 3 years warranty and almost everything is on-blaord), 256 RAM and good looking cabinet ;) with enough air flow and front USB ports.

Amd is cheaper than intel.Go for asus motherboard and very important is the cabinet size and cooling fans.
