I think THIS THREAD SHOULD BE LOCKED
I dont think it is a good idea to have all queries in one thread...
1) Many ppl, including me, never looks at this thread... bea\cause itś so confusing u never know what is going on.
2) It is stupid to ask someone to read the entire thread to search if his question is been posted... but if there are many threads it is easy to point out.
3)The biggest problem: It is almost impossible to figure out how many questions are still on, how many have already purchsed their computers, which post reffers to whose question.... n it´s damn confusing
4) If i ask a question and if there are sufficient number of posts after that, high are chances that discussion is on some other query and what should i do to get my answer, should i post again and again

Why should this thread be locked. It has helped many people like me. If u want answer to a specific query of urs then post it in a new thread and we can all help each other.
No, I don't think this thread should be locked.
More over if this thread is to be locked it should be the decision of DIGIT Admin/mods and not us. And I don't see any valid reason (DIGIT FOURM RULES) for it to be locked.
Even the graphics card STICKY is a mess and it's difficult to find ur answer over there.

Here is one of the possibilities regarding your configuration:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (socket 939) ~ Rs.5600
Motherboard: Asus A8N-E ~ Rs.5800
Hard disc: 80GB ~ Rs.2500
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 6600GT 128MB ~ Rs.9000 to Rs.11000 depending on your choice. (from any manufacturer like XFX, MSI, Leadtek, Gigabyte, Big etc. I particularly prefer the Leadtek 6600GT extreme edition, it comes factory overclocked to 550/1120Mhz and costs a cool Rs.10800 (price qoute directly from Zebronics, Chennai)
RAM: 1GB DDR PC 3200 (400 MHz) (512MB X 2) ~ Rs.4400
Optical drive: Sony combo drive ~ Rs.2000
Monitor: Samsung/Acer 17" flat ~ Rs.6600
Keyboard: Microsoft/Logitech multimedia keyboard ~ Rs.450
Mouse: Microsoft/Logitech optical mouse ~ Rs.400
Speakers: Any 5.1 speaker ~ Rs.4000 to Rs.6000 (Eg: Creative Inspire 5.1 5200 or Altec Lansing VS 3151)
Cabinet: ATX cabinet with 400W SMPS ~ Rs.2000
Total: Rs.45000 approx. depending on choice of components and variance of prices.
The main difference between K8N-E (nforce3 chipset) and A8N-E (nforce4 ultra chipset) is that K8N-E mainly supports socket 754 and the latter supports socket 939. Most socket 754 motherboards have AGP8X slot which are becoming a thing of the past gradually. PCI express is th future and socket 939 boards have PCI-express slot (s). There are other minute differences which you can see if you visit their respective webpages.
For K8N-E: *in.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=14&l3=66&model=772&modelmenu=1
For A8N-E: *in.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=171&model=455&modelmenu=1

Not much performance gain of the 256MB over the 128MB due to 128-bit interface. True that it is only around 1500 more, but that 1500 more can be used to...say, buying some more RAM. Anyway, people have already around 1GB so I can say that if you have the budget then you can buy the 256MB one.

I would recommend that u buy a 6800gs if possible. But the price difference between 6600gt and 6800gs would be somewhere around 4-5K. Or as u are already buying 1GB ram then u can buy a 19" monitor instead of 17". Don't know about APC but Powersafe is certainly a good choice. I am also using one.

On the other hand, I would recommend the 6800GS card. The extra money is really worth it. You can really tax it using FEAR and come out in flying colors at 1024X768. The soft shadows thing on FEAR really stresses current generation cards. Do read some reviews on the net before making the final decision.

also can u guys explain what exactly is INTEL GMA 900 . is it direct x 9.0c compliant. what about its performance with other 6600 and 6600 gt cards
vijay_7287
Cyborg Agent
gma 900 is the onboard GFX support for the intel 9xx series
it is good
but is no match to an external GFX with a 6600 chipset

@digitized the X800XL runs FEAR without any lag at full everything !!!!
@Siriusblack 6600GT 128 MB is for Rs.9500 , 6800GS is for abt Rs.20500 .. Go in for ATI X800XL , its for 17700 and its better than 6800GS .. see my posts on the 2nd page of this topic (i think .. otherwise search in this topic for dat post ...)
@Siriusblack u can always put in more RAM or a drive later ... but u cant upgrade ur graphics card .... instead of combo drive for 2000, get a DVD write for 3500 ...
