^ ya I know Raid-0 will give me double speed on writting no security.
but thgat is same with every harddisk .. whethter I am using 1 or two.
raid-0 doesnt incease the risk does it?

can I do this.. but buy Seagate 500GB now, and buy WD 500GB latter and then put them in raid?

2. which one better transcend/corsair-valueram/ocz?

3. if both are 780g chipset which one is better msi or gateway or asus?

You're actually doubling your chances of loosing data. Probability of Hard Disk A failing is much less than probability of (Hard Disk A or Hard Disk B failing).

You should be able to add a WD hdd to a seagate HDD.. But im not too sure on this.. So confirm.

2. OCZ > Corsair > Transcend

3. I *personally* like MSI, and have never faced any issues. Faced a lot of issues with Asus. Dont have idea about Gateway. But you mileage may vary!

Thanx guyz,

I bought this:-

AMD Athlon X2 5000+ -> Rs. 3000
Gateway (780G) GA-MA78GM-S2H -> Rs. 4400
Transcend 1GB x2 -> Rs.540 x 2
HDD -> Seagate 500GB (32MB) -> Rs.2890
Cooler Master Elite-340 + 390watts -> Rs.2800
..
I couldnt resist that price of 500gb so had to buy that.
Ati Radeon 3450 512MB wasnot available Have to buy latter.
I couldnt find corsair 800fsb so got transcend, may be latteron I will add 2GB more,
Do you think powersupply is less! and
does transcend is low considering my system is on continously for few days normally.

Everything fyne, but PSU, I wud have expected a 460W CM PSU minumum.

Well no probs, if u go for a gfx upgrade, don't get less than HD4650 or HD4670. Higher than that will not be appropriate for the PSU as well.

hmm true buddy .. but price was going way up man for the PSU .. i coundnt go further, but these days every computer product almost going less less on energy usage. like this Processor x2 5000+ eats 65watts, what gonna be other stuffs eating.
as for the graphics card, ya HD4650 would be good but I wont get the hybrid benefit in that case, they both have to the same series na. but I will see whats the prices are.. and read this *ati.amd.com/technology/hybridgraphics/technology.html
what you say HD3470 X2 is good or HD4650 X1?

Hello everybody,
Can anyone tell about the performance of mini itx board 945gclf with integreated atom processor ??

No game but can this processor handle any kind of software or database?

If not then what could be solution on mini itx board? budget is a factor. This set comes within 4k.

well I think there are DG31 based mini itx boards too.
DG31 + E7200/E7300 is quiet a good combination.

abd of the above config, which software or database you wanna run. SQL 2000 or mySQL would run quiet well on it. you run any of quiet heavy things it will be able to run but then I will say it is quiet foolish idea

missed to mention, todays Dual core celeron are too better than P4s.

Well no game? U serious? It handles MANY MANY MANY games at 800x600 resolution, infact a netbook does that too.


4k budget,
G31 @ 2.2k
Celeron DualCore E15xx @ 2-2.5k

I am getting these quotes from Supreme computers :
1)C2D 7300 - 5300/-
2)Transcend 2 GB RAM @800MHz - 1200/-
3)Seagate 250 GB SATA - 2000/-
4)9600 GT 512 DDR3 - 6000/-

Should I go with the above prices....i have checked the above stuffs from other stores also it varies hardly..(+-50/- not a big deal)

But still I couldn't zeroed myself with the SMPS, which one should i go for Zebronics(500W) or Cooler Master(500W) or any other one ??Cooler master is getting quite high in my budget.Will Coller Master 460W support the above config?What should I do ?

One important thing which I forgot to say is that I am not into high resolution gaming due to my monitor which is a old compaq one.The highest which i get is i think 1024*768.So will 9600GT a good choice over HD4670 as i think the monitor can be a bottleneck to the GPUs performance.I am not quite sure about this.Help me!!

The Prices seem to all right.
Ya a coolermaster 460w will be sufficient for your rig.

9600GT is a good choice. BTW which mobo you're getting ?

I am going with anything less than 3.5k.What i have chosen is
1)ASUS P5KPL-CM (available easily @ 2350/-
2)ASUS P5KPL (have chosen this but not available n no idea about the price)
3)Nvidia 630i @ 3200/- (lacks dual channel and also heard that this board had some problems earlier,no idea whether there is still some problem or not)

Any suggestion ??

not much difference between ASUS P5KPL and ASUS P5KPL-CM.
So, go for for what you are getting easily. get a CM 460W or 500W according to your feasibility both are suitable enough for you.

ok its my turn now. Compaq SR1930IL

The above link I gave is the config of 2 year old desktop in our house. I need to do some upgrades. The system has 512 DDR2 533 FSB RAM. 2 sticks of 1GB DDR2 RAMs would be good. Not sure if Corsair 533 FSB RAMs are available or not. So if someone can suggest about some value RAMs for this system.

I am sure in the market I can pretty surely get Kingston/Transcend of that FSB. I am hoping Corsair would be good choice in the rig.

Secondly I wanna buy TV Tuner Card.
I had bought one external TV Tuner with my roomate for his system, which worked decently. I am thinking of getting something better than that. It had costed us 1.8K one and half years back.
I have read desibond and alot many other guys suggesting WinFast TV2000XP Global if buying internal, can I get something similar as external device. I do not wanna put the card inside otherwise it will become difficult for me to manage.
