Help me out with the mobo & is there anything 2 change in the above config????

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^ from where have u got those stupid prices ??

here goes AMD X2 5000+ dont exceed 5300 Rs.........i got this for 5100 rs

ASUS M2NPV NM with HDTV Out for 4200 Rs

and transced 1 GB 800 Mhz RAM for 2100 Rs
while i was offered 1 GB 667 mhz transcend for 1600 Rs.....both 3 yrs warranty...i dont know from u got lifetime warranty !! common for RAM ??

for AMD X2 5600 the price shld be around 6800 Rs dont pay 7.5k !!!

 

[mavihs]

saw the price at a site. anyway should i go for 5000+ or for 5600+ as there is 0.2GHz & the cache difference & also the power consumption. & thanx for the reply.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

naa since its a budget 1 5000 will just do fine !! later with a 4k gfx u can watch HD movies @ hig rs no problem

the rest of the money if save keep it for later gfx card money or get some thing good as good speakers if music is alll that imp may be 5.1 if later u can get money ...so save it

you are a 17 yr old guy.........so dont worry this ASUS M2NPV NM has got a onboard gfx...which will let u play the games or else which wont load at all

later add a gfx and get that quality in the display !! like 8500 GT is at 4.5k

hey this mobo has no support for Quad Core as of now !! note this !!

if u go AMD way...there are no quad cores !! yet to be released and that too socket AM2+...

 

[mavihs]

thanx. i'll be going with 5000+ then. i hope imb cache won't make much of a difference & as 5000+ also has power saving it'll really be a good value for money.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

well i dont know how its cache affects.....it performance

but when u compare its benchmarks and performance it beats the budget C2D and come to the level of C2d E6420

check out *www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2007.html?modelx=33&model1=878&model2=928&chart=419

 

[Pathik]

y dont u get the 5200.. 1mb more cache ll boost ur performance.. and get a m2a vm instead of the pv vm..

 

[mavihs]

but hows 5200+ its power consumption??????????????

 

[cynosure]

I dont want to be rude but you guys are just defeating the main purpose of the thread started by choto_cheeta. Fireseeker couldve asked the question there and people wouldve replied.

 

[factor]

aks_win,
can i have the name of the shop in bangalore which sells ddr2 800 for 2100.i did ask a store near my place and he said 2400+ 4%.i am from rajajinagar area.

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

ok then go for 5200 u shld get it for 5700 to 6000 rs dont settle for anything higher

ask any shop in SP road.......they will say 2225-2300rs bargain it

see this post

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=566239&postcount=109

@fireseeker check this out....i suggested 5000 on the basis of CPU charts and benchmarks...and price being about 800 - 1000 rs less then 5200

*www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9485_13041^13076,00.html

check this out every thing is given...even power supply

for brisbane is 65nm and windsor is 90nm
65nm has less power consumption !!!

 

[arun_chennai]

go for the following config....
Core 2 duo E6750 - 8700
Intel g33 MB - 5500
Ram 1gb kingston - 1800
Seagate 250gb - 2700
Zebronics lava with 400w PSU - 1300

Total-------------------------20000

after some time u may change the PSU........

It will kill any AMD offering at the stock speed itself....if u have graphics card buy XFX 650i instead....

 

[mavihs]

not interested in Intel right now.

& plzz help me choose a good amd mobo. i'm really confused which 1 to choose. so many options.
