Desibond and dominator,
That information was definitely helpful. Actually i am not a gamer. I don't get to play games. I am into testing applications and running Virtual machines a lot. I have a Geforce 7200GS card and its more than enough for my needs apparently as i dont play games.
Having considered the opinion that i dont play games do you feel that there would be a great performance boost in my day today processing if i spend about 3K on a new processor. Shall i spend a little more and buy 9650 X4 AM2+ - Around Rs 6750.

9650 is not a great processor. Instead, get Phenom II X3 720

Thanks Desibond. Sorry that i am keeping the thread going.

Where in Bangalore would i have to buy the proc as i plan to buy X2 7750 coz in computerwarehouse its 3600+ vat !!

I have concluded on the X2 7750 now looking at the cost and the recommendations made. Is 7850 a good choice too if i dont see a price difference?

Btw... Any comments on the stock heat sink and fan for 7750. Coz the one on my 4400 is for sure noisy.

I bought 7750 for 3.2k at SP Road. YOu better go there and enquire in few shops and get it from the one that gives the best price. And make sure that the box is sealed with AMD hologram sticker. Also, make sure you got 7750 Black Edition and not 7750.

There is no difference at all between 7750 and 7850. you get one that is cheaper.

Hi Desibond,
I ended up buying my 7750 Black Edition for Rs 3350 all inclusive from SP road. No shops had less than 3.4k even if i stand upside down .
My current mother board is Gigabyte M57SLI-S4 which has a Nvidia 570 chipset.

I have installed the same in my mobo and have 2 issues which i am not sure how to proceed further. (I will post the same in the blog that you are actively on as well)

1. I am unable to overclock a bit also. (ie) even if i change the multiplier to 13/12 or even 11 or 7 also it does not pass the post screen. It goes blank at the part when its supposed to display the OS choice. If i modify Vcore voltage / bus speed the same happens.

2. Memory is showing up as Unganged and it used to be 128 bit with my old proc (AMD 4400+) and it changed to 64 bit which i was able to replicate in my old processor by running the same on 1 stick.

3. The noise of the fan is very loud compared to my AMD 4400+ which was loud. Is this normal?

Thanks for all your help
