Basic Guide Purchase a New System
- Status
Dude congratulations. I have NO idea about synthetic benchmarks since I am so used to doing things the old fashioned way:
see the time taken to encode Digit Don DVD (ah... those were the days of digit mag) to XviD high quality 700MB video with Vorbis ABR 128kbps using Handbrake
Play Crysis and at the same time browse in IE for cheatcodes
While doing the above ripping, also browse firefox with 20 tabs open and listening to audio from music player
etc
Hadrcore old fashioned but most realistic. If it satisfies you, consider the result positive
I guess only hellgate or darklord or similar benchmark guru can help you...
no need to be sad

Does Intel 810 chipset have PS/2 port ? Does it have a port to connect a printer ?WOW!
What and Idea yaar
Thanks Gautam
Actually my Uncle who lives in Our Hometown want a Small PC for Typing and Little Internet work
So this suits perfect
and I can also give him this low budget PC as a Gift
One Question
Can we connect Printer and PS/2 in Intel Dot Station ?
Depending on that reply, my answer is Yes or No.
And BTW, this is one of the most crippled PCs you can buy as a gift. It looks attractive, and I have seen it running on a store for billing system when I was out hunting for fresh frenchies, but I doubt it can do anything big. Other than surfing with old version of IE, typing in office 97 and running windows 98, it can't do much.
Given a choice between spending some money for getting a better CPU and a better Graphics Processing power, what would you prefer ? Thats the simple question. A basic GPU can easily fit in a 35K budget
And Express Gate is a feature many ASUS motherboards have, read this: *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop then decide if its worth spending 1K extra for this awssome feature.
@Chota Cheeta
What a Ignorance.
I am trying to communicate from 7 days even i opened 2 threads for this still i am not getting a simple answer to my question.. I am not asking for a full config just want a good mobo and a decision in amd and intel.. Now i am leaving to mumbai no need to tell anything.. This is really stupid that i asked something on this forum.

Hello Gautham, i will choose for better graphics processing power coz i don think i have any use in gettin a high speed cpu. for my use it will be like fittin horse's head to a donkey's body.
And ya express gate seems 2 be a nice feature. if itz worth i will go for it.
so wat config wil u suggest me.

@shift,
OMG, you bought XFX 8600GT and running two of them in SLI mode??? that's a terrible mistake dude. It's a microwave reaching ultra high temperatures.
two of them will be enough to make grill chicken
if you notice ultra high temperatures, replace the GPU's fans with cooler master's
COming to the audio issues, just check the motherboard layout in the manual or call the dealer who sold you the PC.

Sorry to disappoint you,
Please do understand, just like you I am also just another member here.. I dont get paid to post my reply and make no mistake mate, I dont enjoy keeping people on hold...
Please try to understand we have our own physical life to live.. I have to execute tasks assigned to me, and find some time to come down here totally volntrly to share what ever little knowledge I have...
The idea was / is never to ignore any one but rather try to share what ever is possible, but some time the volume of request is really really high, once again please note, this is not the single forum where I am active in so there are many other sources from where support request comes I try my best to see if I can answer every single of them, but as I said some time the volume or emails / blog entry / forum threads / PMs gets so high that it becomes really hard to cover all of them
If I have missed anything from you, I do appologise and once again, I want you to know, what ever it is, it is never intentional !!!
If you have any thing to ask, please post, if I have any knowledge about it, I would surely try and share it...
P.S. :- Think in this way also, you have felt ignorance, where as what I would feel after reading your comment
, even after finding time from my own day to day schedule, even after devoting my self totally free of cost still I would face a comment in which would crown me an unhelpful / un worthy member Do u think it would help the moral to continue to operate till 2 - 2.30 even after knowing that I am in need to leave bed at 6 in the morning ??

Dont be discouraged saurav.. sometimes ppl are nt able to see through other ppl's efforts when they are not satisfied themselves. Its a basic human nature to yell/rant when somethng doesnt happen according to ur comfort, though its is not present in all of us. And i might have told u before (and i see no harm in repeating it) that its becoz of ppl like u this "thinkdigit forum" is different from other tech forums. I cant say about others but as for me, i really admire ur efforts. Plz dnt get upset becoz of one single Poster or comment. i think i have made my point clear (i am not much of a debator so dnt have experience of looooooong posts.)

hello gautham , shantanu , cheetah n others . i once again went to dealer and based ur suggestions he has quoted me following for the components :
AMD Athlon 4800 + - 2975
Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H - 5,600
2 GB DDR2 RAM - 1975
250 GB SEAGATE SATA - 2400
DVD-RW LG 22X -1200
ATX-CABINET MERCURY -1300+
22" TFT AOC/SAMSUNG/LG - 12,500/16,700/14,000
MM KB N OPTICAL MOUSE - 750
5.1 SPEAKERS CREATIVE - 3600
UPS 600 VA - 1950
TV TUNER CARD PINNACLE - 2350
TOTAL - 36,600 ( INCLUDED AOC MONITOR ) + 4% vat
how do u rate this configuration ??? is it worthy ?? do u think i need a graphics card anywhere or the on board graphics will be enuff ??
@gautham - i did ask him abt the express gate motherboard as u had advised me earlier. he said that he doesnt have any clue bout it n he doesnt deal with ASUS motherboards. Nor do most of the dealers in mangalore. they prefer other mother boards above ASUS.
