@Debajyoti

Make sure the Motherboard is M2A-VM DVI stick with 2 GB single stick, though it is sacrifising the option for dual channel but it gives u option to upgrade to another 2 Gb to make it 4 GB dual Channel later on

and the over all deal price seems reallly good go for it

 

[Debajyoti]

bro as u suggested b4 i go for M2A VM without HDMI

M2A VM
*in.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=496&l4=0&model=1568&modelmenu=2


M2A VM with HDMI

*www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=101&l3=496&model=1585&modelmenu=2


so i hope there is no other model with DVI .. coz M2A VM supports DVI.

and i bought it 2day.

1st i go to the it shop then i take their qt go to estrn logica. take their qt then i arrived technoraqt and give it shop's qt to a guy call bipul. he show the qt and amazed and then ask me sevrl time r u buying now ..r u buying now ..i say yes. YES!
he made some horrible number of calls and give me the qt. in that time i know thats the optimal price. i go 4 it.

what do u say ..?i did right ?

Friend can increase budget upto 44k

@ Choto Cheeta : I need ur suggestions too

Now getting off, will come 2moro in evening

 

[Choto Cheeta]

@anujsaini

Just one suggestion opt for 2 GB Single Stick as it gives u option to add one more ram later on when price drops for 2 GB modules too to run Dual Channel but with 4 GB and for XFX 8600 GT, make sure the model is PV-T84J-UDF3, not PV-T84J-UDF7 !!

rest seems fine

Monitor - Samsung 19" widescreen - 10500

does it come with DVI ?? else dont buy !!!

@Choto, among m2a-vm and the m2n-vm, which one has better onboard gfx for playing games?

 

[varunprabhakar]

[saurabh kakkar]

Hi
My brother has decided to go for an assembled PC basically for movie purpose , some general office use like ppts and Watching TV , NO GAMING
I have suggested him the following config:

Intel Dual Core E2140
ABiT IP35-E
2 GB DDR-II 667 MHz
160 GB SATA
DVD RW Lite-on IDE
Local Cabinet with 500 watts SMPS
Samsung/View Sonic 17inch LCD Moniter
TV Tuner Kit
Logitech Keyboard
Logitech Mouse
APC UPS

Is this config ok ? Plz suggest me the best Tv tunner card that can work for xp and vista

 

[spikygv]

^^ for movies , 19'' Wide is better .. i think a amd config should do although ur config is fine.

 

[janitha]

^^ for movies , 19'' Wide is better .. i think a amd config should do although ur config is fine.

Exactly what I would also suggest. Plus there is little cost diff between 17 and 19.

 

[j1n M@tt]

ABit IP35-E don't hav on-board grfx........so at the least I recommend an 8400GS for watching movies.

 

[Hustlerr]

@Choto Cheeta : Thx for suggestion about Graphic card. I will confirm about

DVI port for Samsung 19" wide

i wud say m2n-vm dvi

I dont kno much about ati's onboard gfx. my mobo has onboard nvidia geforce 6100 coz of which i hav been able to play games like world in conflict and COD4 (not to mention, i hav 512 MB DDR400 RAM and AMD athlon xp 3200+ 2.0 GHz ....well, cant help boasting coz most of my frends havin 845s and 915s r unable to play these games ).

m2n-vm has onboard geforce 7050 which is obviously better than mine(geforce 6100) and so dat mobo wud b able to play most of the latest games, atleast at low settings. So i am curious to know if the m2a-vm can outperform m2n-vm in gaming

 

[dOm1naTOr]

@pushkaraj
both 7050 and X1250 has similar performance in games, while 7050 has Sm 3.0 and X1250 has Sm 2.0.
And ive tested CRYSIS[yes Crysis] on both onboards and amazingly it ran much smoother on M2A VM than M2N VM DVI. But things may change with ither games but not much.

But i wud anyday recommend M2A Vm over M2N VM DVI coz M2A VM has ample overclocking features which the latter dont have. And both have DVI-D. And also M2A VM is cheaper by 300/-
