hey friends, can anyone tell me the probable date and venue for Book fair 2008 ? I am planning to visit home at that time.

 

[Anindya]

I can only help u with the dates! Dont know when is it going to be held. Its going to be held at the Park Circus Maidan. There will only be book stalls. No food-bank-computer games-and such other non book stalls.

 

[gauravakaasid]

^^thnx for ur reply

@royal..Most probable date is end week of Jan to first week of Feb.

 

[royal]

Thx for replying guys...afraid I won't be able to make it by 1st week of Jan
and I was hoping that it would be held at Salt Lake like last year.

BTW, can u ppl give suggestions regarding this ? I need this info real bad...

Guys, did you check the new store beside Vedant at Ganesh Avn and Chandni Chalk crossing? Its Suntronic Infotech. I bought 2 1GB RAM Modules yesterday, and it offered the lowest price, even lower than Vedant. I bought the two modules for 2000/- (including VAT) whereas Vedant quoted 2100/-+Taxes extra. This shop also quoted XFX 8600GT 256MB 5300/-+taxes (though I forgot to ask whether it has a DDR3 or DDR2 memory)

Congrats on you purchase buddy..btw what is the brand of ram you got bro?

 

[src2206]

Its Kingston bro.... 667MHz DDR2...and I checked the part number (model number), it is listed in the ASUS's QVL.
I thought that it is high time upgrading my memory from 1GB, 'cause I do not think that the price is going to plummet any further. So I hope I got a good deal- right? And what do you think about the price of the card? Are they offering a good deal?

 

[sabret00the]

^^ no doubt it's a good deal considering DDR-2 might as well go the DDR way and if suddenly phased out by the market owing to DDR-3 then ram prices will start to go up again. There is likely a chance that this will happen soon which is why I feel manufacturers and vendors are clearing enormous stocks of DDR-2 667mhz rams at throwaway prices.

 

[gauravakaasid]

^^right said dude...n hey are 800mhz rams also ddr2? ddr3 rams are 1033mhz i guess. correct me if m wrong

 

[entrana]

u r wrong ddr 3 is 1333 and above

 

[src2206]

Yup, DDR3 are 1333MHz, but I do not think that ese are going to come out in a big way before the middle of the next year (WRT Kolkata Mkt).

BTW, what do you think about the price of the XFX 8600GT 256MB card's price?

 

[sabret00the]

what do you think about the price of the XFX 8600GT 256MB card's price?

I had bought one for Rs.8200/- early this year so what can I say...seems like a gr8 price to me...

 

[gauravakaasid]

^^Arya recently got the XFX 8600GT 512mb for about 6.2k.

Just to let you guys know...I have started this new thread All Memory (Ram) related queries here.

Thanks for confirming mate ; thanks Gaurav.

BTW, these RAMs have latency figure 5-5-5-15, I know it is not what Digit prescribes (4-4-4-12), but neither the manufacturers clearly mentions it, and the resellers are completely oblivious to this. I had asked for the Dgit recommended latency figures, but none of the resellers have any idea about it.
