why did u mention so many GFX cards
i think the one from leadtek is the best
and if u can go for RAM from Corsair, they perform better

 

[Siriusblack]

i was just givin u guys the prices. me thinks will go down with 6800gs. btw does leadtek also sells 6800gs with 128 mb memory . i dont know and also whether the a8n-e is better or the deluxe model which supports the sli and what are the advantages of the deluxe model.

 

[vijay_7287]

just tht it supports SLI
if u dont have SLI in mind in future, dont even think of it
as performance wise a8n-e matches it in all counts

[Siriusblack]

@ yash New 1 gb Transcend Ram around 3900 here in Mangalore Yep 7200 rpm harddisk is load better and for benchmarkin u can use Sisoft sandra 2006

 

[Siriusblack]

if ur motherboard supports go for ddr ram its much better and if it does and u have got pockets deep enough try for ddr2 667mhz

 

[yash]

@ siriusblack do u even get 1gb sdram chips? i didnt think so because when i enquired in lamington road vendors said that 512mb sd ram wont be available anywhere.But this vendor is asking 3.5k each for 2 sdram sticks "hynix"..and can u tell me if sandra came with some magazine cd because i cant download on this dial up connection its way slow

on the ram topic, my dealer is insisting on me buying simtronics RAM, how is this company?
Also the MSI RS482 M4 IL needs a cable to connect to the TV pls suggest where I can find it .
Thanks

 

[vijay_7287]

simtronics is no tht bad

but kingston, trancend, corsair perform better and are much more reliable

 

[Siriusblack]

@yash i dont know about sdram module of 1 gb but my uncle bought one 512 recently sorry dont know the price and yes the sisoft sandra versions are regularly featured in digit in system tools category

can't find it here
*www.gigabyte.in/products/Motherboard.htm

also does it have PCI-Express graphics port?

My friend has a 2.8 P4 478 CPU. It is around 2 year old. I dunno the FSB.

See this : *www.gigabyte-usa.com/Motherboard/Products/Products_GA-8IG1000 Pro-G.htm

Think this is the mobo.

Do the new age mobos (eg ASUS A8NE) support ultra ata hard disks. i have a 80 gb ultra ata 7200.7 rpm hard disk.

Also can anyone tell me if the A8NE support both AGP 8x and PCIE

 

[abhijit_reddevil]

Asus A8N-E only has a PCI-express slot and you have to install an additional graphics card in order to get the display as it does not have on-board display chip.

 

[john_the_ultimate]

Yes a8n-e does support PATA and SATA I/II harddisk.

Hi all,
Planning to buy a budget PC for around 15k mainly for work (office suite, a few non-graphic-intensive software)... Following is proposed config (mostly taken from *deltapage.com/ )

1. AMD Sempron 2500 64-bit processor - Rs 2600
2. ASUS K8V-MX motherboard - Rs 2900
3. 512 MB DDR 400 RAM - Rs 2100
4. Sony CDROM - Rs 650
5. Seagate/Samsung 80 GB 7200 rpm - Rs 2500
6. Mercury Cabinet with 300 W SMPS - Rs 1150
7. Samsung 15" Monitor - Rs 4200
8. Logitech KB+Scroll Mouse - Rs 500

Total: Rs. 16600

Question 1: How does Celeron D compare to Sempron 64-bit? I read recently that Cel. was better in synthetic benchmarks but Semp was better in realworld benchmarks... Is this true? If you recommend Cel D, please specify suitable Motherboard...

Question 2: Is 300 W SMPS enough? And how is Mercury quality in Cabinet+SMPS? This is only an office PC so will not be used for intensive stuff.

Points to note: No need for UPS. No need for CD-RW/DVD drives. No need for HDD > 80 GB capacity.

Please post comments, suggestions...

Thanks in advance
