i think 7-8k is too low for a gaming rig upgrade.
i aksed him to dump the xfx mobo and ddr2 idea he had. i suggest keeping the same mobo,proccy . add some ram and buy 8600 for the same rig .

That is true and the suggestion is good.
The confusion would not have occurred if the second sentence was given first.

Upgrade blues
I know the budget is very low for a gaming upgrade. But i need to upgrade the motherboard as i do not have a pci-express slot on my motherboard. Moreover i need to keep the processor till july only after which i will do a better upgrade of my computer.
The only thing that i have on my mind is that i do not have to invest in the motherboard again at that time. So i wanted a motherboard which has support for both the intel P4 and the C2D processors. I think the onboard graphics nvidia 7150 should be decent for some old dx9 games such as doom 3, GTA SA.
As for the jetaway [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]M2A692-GDG , I think it is for AMD[/FONT]. So no chance of getting it.

On stock (default inter cooler), without any heat paste, in a close uATX cabinet XFX 630i 7150 can drive an E2140 at 2.2 GHz 24x7 stable on load
I know you may say, you dont like over clocking, but when its done right (very simple for a tech guy like u), u would like it better than any one
I agree with pathiks, as without OC E2140 isnt a good deal as the E2140 or such is hell of over clocker, better over clocker than C2Ds

I need little time to complete the review as I like to test all capabilites
from all possible mean so that takes a little time with 1 GB RAM its Rs. 30500/- incl all

I hope you meant with stock/default Intel TIM.
or without anything between the processor/heatspreader and HSF?

Cool, means with my 450 W VIP SMPS, I can safely reach 2.2 GHz, not bad....i will over over clock
Any idea how much Asus P5K-VM costs?

Yes, Default Intel HSF... nothing extra used

8k without bargain in Kolkata
way out of ur budget as far as I see , it would be better to buy IP35-E + 8400 GS than same priced P5K-VM

I was in the market today to inquire about the price myself. I am getting Intel Pentium E2160 + Intel DG31PR motherboard for a combination price of Rs 6,400, is it worth it?
I may not be able to over clock, but that's not a necessity anyway. Intel DG31PR has most of things I need. It lacks Intel clear video technology but if I start to look at those things then it is better to buy a GeForce 8600 instead. I m not much into HD Movies, & GMA X3100 should suffice for my "OS only" needs. What say you guys?
One more thing, I am also buying a new Harddisk. 160 GB SATA 2.0 with 8 MB Buffer & 5 years warrenty, the brands are Seagete & Western Digital, which one to go for?

not worth it, as the mobo is rather expensive. I would suggest an AMD based solution instead.

AMD solution available here is even more costly
. Athlon64 4200+ Asus M2N motherboard = 8k- Status
