Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[dOm1naTOr]

No need for celerons, The Athlon 64 3200+AM2 is for 1.4k nd i think no celerons wud touch that in vfm nd celerons are worse than even semprons in same price tags.

Anyway, is there a room for a Celeron vs Sempron shootout here ?

last Cel D processor i bought was 2.5 Ghz and too hot too noisy in fact Celeron Mobile processors are quite good

On the ubuntuforums.org users have no complaints withthe Asus M2A-VM board , so i guess that off. Linux has been unfriendly towards ATi but i will be taking a Geforce 8600GT , so np for me. So guys is the config good then ?
Just finalise the proccy if so so i can go ahead and buy ..
once again to review ,

Asus M2A-VM
2 x 1 Trancend 800mhz DDR2 SDRAM
Geforce 8600GT 256MB

Proccy, AMD 64 X2 4400+ ( as of now) but if there is any ohter better one i can fit in my 12-13k budget , please do tell me

Was it that 2.53 GHz ~1.6K model ? I used it in a local internet cafe here, and it was fine for Firefox.

in fact Celeron Mobile processors are quite good

This is Compaq Presario 702 and all other new sub 25K books and UMPC craze that makes you say that

not just 702TU i have used other celeron models from HCL and LG and all those are pretty decent performer

Entire what? Mobo + Proccy + RAM + GPU ?

I have seen similar fans. Ask me. I run a P4 2.66 GHz.
But the one in that cafe wasn't so loud.
And what about Sempron Mobile & Athlon Mobile(mono core) ?

@Mavrick

u can go for X2 4400+ or 4800+

 

[Maverick340]

Entire what? Mobo + Proccy + RAM + GPU ?

Hey , please do read my above posts ..
Yea entire refrred to the Proccy, mobo, ram and gfx card
All of them minus the proccy comes to 11000 rs. So I can extend the budget to 15K and push in an AMD X2 4400+. But i am confused , 4400+ or 4800+
Which one ?

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^X2 4400+ :3.7k
X2 4800+ :4.3k

 

[Maverick340]

Is the 4800+ noticeably betr ? Otherwise 4400+ looks good.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 BE-2350
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+

all above are worth concidering, but I recomend the last, combined with better graphics, as its the cheapest(the price drop compared to the rest is atleast 1000 rupees.

@Maverick

ya 4800+ is better..........if u r so tight on budget stick with 4400+, it will do the job

 

[MetalheadGautham]

not that much. just a few decimals of GHz in clockspeed. thats all.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

personal though after using those 3 I mean 4200 and 4400 and 4800...

iether buy 4200 or 4800 all these AMD X2 do follow their AMD golden rule of OC... so a 4200 is best value for money where same with 4800 too...

So get 4200 or 4800

I do need a fast(relatively) proccy since my work is not gaming but 3D animation. Will 4400+ do the job in this case ?
Gfx card , I think we are settled on the Geforce 8600GT 256MB .. are we ? I cant afford a better one and this one is quite a steal

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^I personally perfer 4400+
