yes they are all around 9k ...this is why MSI P45 neo is such a great buy @ 6k ..its cheap and great performance wise ...

Bro, r u sure its P5KC cause AFAIK there is no such board, although there is a P5QC which I do happen to possess and have all good reviews about it. If u r gettin' the said board for 9.5K then take it 'cause I was mugged of 10K for it.
the actual chennai price.... as per delta pheripherals is 9650 www.deltapage.com
... an there is an Asus P5KC motherboard...
*in.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=534&l4=0&model=1694&modelmenu=1
chk tis link for that....
and yes this board has some good reviews... but its really awesome that with all the price increase, asus has not yet increased their price rates... i've been seein the same rates for over 2 weeks now...
actually it has already increased a lot ...it was available for 8.2~8.4k about a month ago ..so don't think price has not increased ..

now am startin to get confused....
firstly i get a good review for a MSI mobo... but i donot hav after sales support..
secondly i see this asus p5kc which in my opinion, have no idea about it other than the fact that they do hav nice after sales support...
but i couldnt give up the idea that i could get a worthful board for jus 6k....
so in my belief i should get them both..
... yet i choose to pick only one...k... now some people help me here.... get me some pros n cons of both the boards.... atleast they could help me decide....

dude... i've never heard of that brand.... i cant even get an MSI in chennai... forget such brands..... i would never get support....

MSI after sales service support problem is only in chennai ..not all over india ..in other places its just cool ...
but this is the deal ..
MSI P45 neo - P45 chipset,PCIex 2.0 slot,only DDR2 support cheap and performing
Asus PK5C= P35 chipset,PCIex 1.1 slot,both DDR2 and DDR3 support.
Asus P5QC=P45 chipset,PCIex 2.0 slot,both DDR2 and DDR3 cupport.
now P45 chipset is better than P35 chipset ..even though its marginally.
PCiex 2.0 gives more bandwidth so in future games it could prove 7~10 % performance improvement in games.
DDR3 though looks good but doesn't give huge performance benefits as of now ..though its definately better than DDR2..also DDR3 is extremely costly now ..about 4.5k for a 2 GB stick.
i don't know about u ..but i will prefer to buy a VFM mobo @ 6k cos it will let me do anything i want from my system and that is overclock my E7200 and PCiex2.0 for extra few fps on crysis ..and after using it for 1 and half year i will move on to nehalem .till then there is nothing MSI P45 neo can't do .....so for me its MSI P45 neo ..if i don't get it in chennai i will get it from theitwares ..
i don't know if u can find biostar even in delhi but chennai ...it will be extremely difficult to find one of those ...

i c that there are a few versions of this MSI p45... neo and neo3 and some more.... ehich one is good.... i think if i probably dont get it... then i'd rather get it shipped...

ok there are not much difference but main difference are -
MSI P45 neo supports upto DDR2 667/800/1066,1PCIex2.0 slot,costs - 5.9k
MSI P45 neo 2 supports upto DDR2 800/1066/1200,2 PCie 2.0 slot,costs -8.35k
MSI P45 neo 3 supports upto DDR2 667/800/1066,1PCIe slot,costs-7.45k
MSI P45 neo 3 also has some things like easy OC switch,active phase switching,all shielded choke,2 phase power ..other wise its same as P45 neo...all these things are extra stuff for better overclocking,stability, and power management thus increasint the performance ...
the coloured things are the difference ...
all prices are from theitwares

P5K-C - - this board has a lot of issues with DDR3 rams and some compatibility problems with DDR2.its not that good Overclocker. + its an old chipset now.
get P5Q Pro.costs ~9k
a very good board
OR
MSI P45 Platinum ~ 10k
If you want a DDR3 + DDR2 combo board -
ASus P5QC ~ 9k
If you are getting DDR3 rams-
P5Q3 WiFi ~ 14k

Getting DDR3 rams, then y not wait for nehalem, makes better sense

Right off the assembly line
Look at these specs-

HDD WD 750 GB
Cabinet Coolermaster CM 690
Monitor BenQ E2200HD
Graphic Card Sapphire HD 4850
Keyboard Logitech combo
Speakers Altec Lansing VS3251E
I am getting this at Rs. 56500. Is it a good deal or is it costly?

ok first tell me how much is ur budget ??
board layout changes ..thats true ..just make sure it has two PCI-ex slot ..cos if it has ...it will P45 neo 2 else not ...
but i would really say consider ASUS P5Q pro @ 8.95k ..its more solid and stable board IMO ... ...my choice would be Asus P5Q in that range ...cos i feel its rock solid board with crossfire support
and how much are u getting it for ??
