Don't you think it would be better if you advised people to buy Corsair RAM? I am not that sure about the cost, but then it's pretty good. Think about it.
Also, help me out with a problem because it's irritating me a lot and you seem like the guy who could solve it. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 933. Now, my video card doesn't support it's resolution because of which I have to use it at a lower resolution. Can you please give me an idea of the cards available in the market and what is the price? Also, I am planning to buy a RAM. Do you think 2 GB is enough? I just watch some movies, listen music and surf the internet. Help me out! PLEASE!

I want to buy a New
Motherboard + Processor
My budget is 7-8k
The product must last atleast 3-5 yrs from now
Low Power consumption and green is main priority

I am actually interested in Mini-itx / Low power consumption (you can put it optional but please suggest if u have anything in mind )

Usage: Videos, Browsing, A little gaming (or can sacrifice on that) etc (HTPC mostly). The Machine Will be always ON
Interested in: Low Power Consumption and form factor to be small (mini itx or microitx)

I already have cab/smps/dvd write(ide)/750gb hdd/ram 2gb ddr2 etc

What i have is
Supercomp 450w local smps
Sony DVD drive recent (ide)
Cabinet ( have some spare)(Or will look for new but not now)
Seagate 750gb 7200.12
Ram 2GB DDR2 (will buy just suggest a Speed) (budget allocated Rs.1400)


What i considered was
Code:
GA-EG31M-S2       Rs.2450
Intel E7400        Rs.5675

But i still think that this setup will consume a lot of power above 70 watts
I recently used D945GCLF2 ATOM 330 (sourced from usa) used for 4 month and was so impressed but the machine is not that powerful and not much expandability on the board So sold it.

From this thread i collected some data and people where suggesting this config
Code:
Phenom X2 7750 B.E. @ 3.4k
Biosrat 780G @ 3.2k
Code:
AMD Phenom II X2 250 - 5.5k
Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H(AMD780G chip) - 6.2k
Code:
AMD Phenom II X2 250: 5k-5.5k
ASUS M4A78-EM or M4N78-EM or Gigabyte MA78GM-US2H : 4.8k-5k
Code:
Athlon II X2 250 3GHz @ 5.5k
Biosrat TA790GXB A3+ @ 5.8k

Code:
Palit 780G @ 3.8k

Code:
E5200: 2.9k
Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L:2.3k
Palit 9500GT for 2.5k

Please suggest a good and POWER SAVING configuration. I am really considering Power Efficient and GREEN computing here....
At least a step toward avoiding global warming....
Lol seriously i want to save my Electricity bill

1) Get a dual core processor made out of 45nm manufacturing process

eg: E5200, Athlon II X2 250, Phenom II X2 550

2) Don't go for heavy graphics card. for you needs, onboard should be enough.

Eg: G31for intel , 780G for amd(my pick would be 780G Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP which is RoHS compliant)

either ur UPS relay hav gone bad, or ur battery is dead. Try to repair it, or better get a new APC or a Powercom UPS.

i dint connect my speakers either to my UPS

Ok , its enough ?? Microtek 800VA ,, if shall i repair my Microtek 800VA ups then shall i use with the TX650??
 

desiibond

Bond, Desi Bond!
800VA should be enough for TX650. In this case, I am suspecting UPS battery. Check with varying load. like connect only speakers and play some songs on it with lot of bass, connect monitor and speakers and finally charge is fully and connect entire PC.
