Looking at your siggy, I have this question: you already have a beast, so why another ?

And please tell the perpose of the two systems. I recomend an Uber Beast(add more power to your beast config) and a basic flyboy. I suggest you go for an AMD x2 processor for the flyboy, preferably the brisbane core. Go for a basic Direct X 10.1 graphic card from ATi or nVidia.

The Uber Beast can wait till Next year unless you are in urgent need of a system, because processors are undergoing a major revision from all companies this year.

wow! beast on beast gaming! now THATS what I call awssome!
then why don't you wait for a while for the 45 nm processors ? Why do you want to pick up Core2 in its last few months, or AM2 in its last few months ?
My friend has a rig, that was once the best available(at the time he bought it).
It was a rig with the Pentium D 840 Extreme Edition.
It was supposed to crunch all games down at that time. But he got it when core2 was just about to be launched. Now he deeply regrets his purchase, as Core2 has lived for a long time successfully after that.

And what about the flyboy ? The other system planned to buy ? Is it for himself or somebody else ?

45 nm is already available even here in India. E8400 sells for about 9.5K or even less.

still i guess there another good 3 or 4 month time when in India we may see the SpiderPlatform as in MainStream...

the AMD Phenom Quad Core with present 690G is certainly would be waste of the money :( but yes, once u couple this up with SpiderPlatfom (AMD 790 chipset + AMD Phenom + RD3870 Crossfire) then its gives a real good fight to Intel Core 2 Quad + Any Chiptset + Nvidia SLi) then again when the testing was done we had only the 65nm Core 2 Extreme or Quad, but now when 45nm is here i really doubt that whether SpiderPlatform would be able to deliver or not :(

does the Intel's X48 support both DDr2 & DDR3 on same m/b?

MSI X48 Platinum does.

- Supports dual channel, DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600, DDR2 667/800.

The idea was not to support DDR-II as to push DDR-III in... however if MSI comes up with such option, I dont think ASUS / Gigabyte would stay behind, then again at-present there are no other company is coming up with x48 :(

All Intel Motherboard

All ASUS Motherboard supporting LGA 775

so, at present there is no x48 from Intel or ASUS i guess :(

OK guys, for an update of my brains, please tell me the cheapest motherboard for intel and AMD processors that support DDR2(if they don't, state it explictly). Also tell me the most value for money(cost vs performance) motherboards for Intel and AMD processors.

For Intel Lowest but what makes sense is XFX 630i 7150 + E2140 and for AMD X2 4000 + ASUS M2N-MX SE / MSI K9AGM2

both supports DDR-II how ever Intel mobo 630i doesnt have Dual Channel support :(

@gautham yaar XFX 630i ultra is the best combo of performance and onboard gfx and that too at a reasonable price of 3.4K.You should not get any mobo inferior to this

Very satisfied till now.. Will put up benchmark results soon
Just a quickie, M2N-VM DVI has only one IDE slot.. they all expect us to own STAT HDD by now :(

Also , need to buy a Photo printer for domestic use. Budget under 5-5.5 k
