They are not good IMO...... they are unstable, non user-friendly, they crash, etc........ problems and more problems.

primeabgb.com
Antec EA 650 Rs.5140/-
theitwares.com
Corsair TX 650 Rs.6000/-
(increased by Rs.100 probably due to dollar rates)
The 8-4 pin mobo pins are for additional 12V supply
what about 680i chipset

Well this is what Wiki guys have to say about Modular PSU
"While modular cabling can help reduce case clutter, they have often been criticized for creating significant amounts of electrical resistance. Some third party websites that do power supply testing have confirmed that the quality of the connector, the age of the connector, the number of times it was inserted/removed, and various other variables such as dust can all raise resistance.
While eliminating the excess cables can improve the flow of cooling air inside the computer case, the modular connectors tend to reduce airflow inside the power supply itself. The emphasis on appearance in modular power supply marketing tends to underscore this point"
I personally believe that it depends upon ur need and usage, got a small cabinet then go for Modular one in order to reduce of wire clutter and maintain proper airflow.

By far 9800GT is better than 9600GT but but are sure you wanna buy from Lynx, the place is near my city and I went their personally and found disparities in rates quoted by them and the rate of Nehru Place. The only positive about them is that they've got a good collection of variety of Performance products.

Modular has the convenience of using only those cable that you need and hence better cable management and better airflow in the cabinet. But there is also argument that it increases resistance in the circuit but it should be negligible. I have been using an Antec modular for past 3+ years.

Sorry, I didn't notice the post by Plasma_Snake

Hi guys,
I soon planning to buy a new rig. however, before buying it, I would like to know
when will be able to install more than 4 gb ram in a 32 bit windows?
it is dependent on which factor- os, motherboard?
and when should we expect this to happen?
thanks

It is an OS factor. There are some cracks through which you can get 4GB of RAM to show up in system properties in 32Bit OSes..but I dont think that it will REALLY work.
And I dont expect to see 4GB RAM support in 32Bit OSes officially.
620 is costlier but said to have better ripple control.

but today, if you use a graphics card with 1 GB ram, you are left with only approx. 2.8 GB ram for OS and other uses.
3 years from now, dont u think we will need more than that, if we are multitasking.
if only os is the limiting factor. that means if windows 7 supports 8 gb of ram in 32 bit. then I can buy a new rig now and additional ram later on. and I will not need to upgrade any other hardware later on.
am I right??

32bit OS'es cant address that much of RAM.. only 64 bit OSes can and Win 7 wud be 64bit only I guess

windows 7 will be both 32 and 64 bit.
will 32 bit OS be never able to use more than 4 GB ram in the future??
that means in 3 -4 yrs, when 3 gb of usable ram will not be enough. 32 bit systems and os will become useless???
