[gxsaurav]

hmm, Geforce 6200 non ultra with 128 MB RAM should suffice, look for gigabyte or Palit

 

[paul_007]

why AMD processors considered better in gaming than intel ones even though their clock speeds and FSB are less than those of intel processors?

Cool man, now when you get that beast of a machine, do not forget to post the benchmark scores, particularly the 3d Mark03 and 3d Mark 05 scores. You are my new best friend, congratulations.8)

Am I saying too much, but it is at par with some of the Alienwares and the Falcon Northwests out there...8)

 

[earthen61]

i am planning 2 upgrade my mobo & processor.refering 2 ur great post,does da Asus A8N-E mobo hav decent onboard graphics?

 

[abhijit_reddevil]

A8N-E does not have onboard graphics. It has a separate PCI-express slot. If you want onboard graphics then MSI RS482M2-IL is the excellent choice. 8) It has a separate PCI-express slot too if you want to add a separate graphics card later and disable the onboard display. 8)

 

[comrade]

do consdier Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 that offers very much the same graphics performance as MSI RS482M2-IL but @ a relatively lower price

Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9

Gigabit LAN
8.1 HD Audio
Nforce4 chipset(probably
the best for AMD)

BIOS
Price - 4.4K

MSI RS482M2-IL

5.1 Audio
ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 (RS482) Chipset

[abhijit_reddevil]

Well, for starters, you can download the trial versions of the two 3d mark programs from www.futuremark.com and leave all options at default for benchmarking. For other desktop applications I have no idea. Maybe you can google and find out. Also find out how to benchmark through Farcry, HL2 and FEAR.

For Doom3, you start the game, you bring the console up by 'CTRL+ALT+~' and then type 'timedemo demo1' and enter.

Benchmarking is off-topic of this thread, so if you want I can start a thread in the 'Gamerz' section.

[sunmysore]

atrix :S stay away from it. go for powersafe 450W or 500W

BTW, Kunhar has a website, www.kunhar.com

If you have the cash, go for VIP ZB01 and Powersafe 450W. the combo vosts 6500 here...

VIP ZB01...one of the very best cabbies in india...meant for a server, but its huuuge and roomy

Hey guys how much wud a dual core processor in delhi cost ???

ne idea ??/

 

[abhijit_reddevil]

Which dual core processor are you referring to? I can give you a rough idea, not prices specific to Delhi. If it is a P4 2.8Ghz Dual core then it is something around 12.5k, an AMD athlon 3800+ X2 around 17k and a 4200+ X2 around 26.5k.
