P5B-VM

 

[Choto Cheeta]

This board has only one p/s 2 port, so u have to have usb mouse. In that case why not MSI G33 Neo or MSI G33 Platinum. your sugestion please

if you dont mind can u please eloborate ur neds and what else hardware u plan to run.. with ur Budget, that would be easy to judget which board would be good for ur use !!!

P5B-VM

I already wrote, Intel replaced G965 with G33, ASUS P5B-VM is a G965 based board... its good over clocker but better option is ASUS P5K-VM which is G33 based board and its better

P5K-VM is Rs. 7200/- + TAX

Ok i'll go for P5K-VM.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

Ok i'll go for P5K-VM.

Its comes with Native support for FSB 1333 Processors

*www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=542&l4=0&model=1690&modelmenu=2

but try and see if u can find the ATX version of it.. that P5K-V se whats the price for it...

 

[premsharma]

My requirement is ATX board in G33, with which i will combine intel C2D 6XXX series processors [not decided yet]. I have 2GB of kingston RAM 667 mhz, which i will upgrade to 800 mhz of kingston or corsair. I don't want that asus board which you suggested because that has only one p/s 2. Budget within 9000 or so

 

[Choto Cheeta]

@premsharma

Dont mind Just discussing few points with u... whats the Special Reason with G33 and ATX...

In todays board format, with ATX u will have Crosfire or SLi, without ATX u would have single PCI-E... few ATX boards has one extra PCI slot... but now days u have onboard LAN / IEEE / USB and no one needs Modem so 2 PCI Slots are enough...

So whats the SPecial Reason for G33 ??

now for rest config... why dont u consider XFX 650i Ultra (4.8k + TAX) + XFX 8400 GS (2.5k + TAX) ??

No No, I requested you to check at local market at Mumbai (u are at mumbai right ??) its not a very populer board because of the availibility but some time when u search locally u see few may have stock for it... this one comes with Crossfire and its a Good Over Clocker too check here,

No I am not in Mumbai,
Well but i'll check if rashi can source it for me as they deal in asus products.If I am correct it should cost Rs6200+tax.
And I am glad that it has crosfire.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

[Harvik780]

Ok choto I called tirupati and rashi.Rashi said that P5K-V is not the list of motherboards they deal with.This is what i have been told
P5K-V not available
P5K-VM -Rs8500+Tax
P5K-C -Rs9900+Tax(reported as a replacement for P5K-V)
Gecube HD2900XT-Rs 25000+Tax(Reported by tirupati)
Msi HD2900XT -Not available

I have changed my mind about the GFX card,i'll be going for point of view Geforce 8800GTS 320MB from tirupati.

Thanks again choto.

 

[Reena]

Well i dont need speaker..or sound card rite now...or key brd and mouse can do..and budget i wanna try to keep it betw 50k to 55k if possible.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

50k Need Heavy Auto Cad...

as for ur needs u said here and in Yahoo IM... this is what I feel would be best for u in my opinion...


19" CRT Non Wide Screen Display @ Rs. 8000/- + TAX
Q6600 @ Rs. 12500/- + TAX
ASUS P5K-C @ Rs. 8500/- + TAX
4 GB DDR-II 800 MHz @ Rs. 8000/- + TAX
250 GB SATA-II 16 MB Buffer @ Rs. 2600/- + TAX
XFX 8600 GT 256 MB GDDR3 @ Rs. 6700/- + TAX
Any Large Cabinet with Good Ventilation + PowerSafe / Zebronics / ColorSit 500 Watts @ Rs. 2200/- + TAX
APC 650 VA @ Rs. 2500/- + TAX

TAX Rs. 2040 at 4% VAT (Kolkata)

Total 53040


For auto Cad I think Q6600 is good...

U will need Non Wide screen Large high resolution display so think of that 19" CRT over any LCD i would say.... Not sure about the brand as in Kolkata, mainly dealers are pushing AOC / SAMSUNG for 19"...

Well I would say consider P5K-C over P5N32-e SLi but try to get ATi 2600 sereais card over Nviodia 8600 8600 would worn just fine, but its better u put a ATi Card under that hood see if u can find the ATi Counter part of nvidia 8600, price would be around 1k high for 8600 which i mentioned but u should go for that

 

[S!D]

I have an ASUS M2A-VM.
As u know, the onboard chip is ATI.
I plan to get a 1GB module and a decent GFX Card after pujas.
I was planning to go for the 8600GT, but I heard somewhere that it might conflict with the chipset. Shud I rather go in for an ATI card, if so..then I have no clue abt ATI cards..please suggest a few.

 

[jackal_79]

Does any body know whether XFX 650i Ultra and XFX 8600 GT is supported in Fedora ?. If yes can someone tell where can i get the drivers?
