Yes, ht is an ace in intel's card but there's more than this that allows intel to smack amd in performance wars.The nehalem architecture is simply superior in both performance & efficiency owing to the higher transistor count and the communication paths employed like QPI(Quick path interconnect).

Clock per clock nehalem cpu's simply bludgeon their amd counter parts now.
The non ht cpu i.e the core i5 750 is performing better than say the 965be(amd's top of the line cpu) and is even more efficient.So ht just broaden's this performance gap even wider.

but amd got license of X86 architecture. why can't they use HT? or according to license only Intel allowed use of HT. i really confused in this part :?

yah, thats true, Nahalem architecture is best damn thing of 2009 to watch out for :razz:. & it rightfully shown why. drowning amd's flagship cpu by their midrange i5 proccy. not to mention i7's. amd's HT (hyper transport) is no match for QPI, sadly. waiting for AMD Thuban. hope it makes a dent in intel's ships.

Buddy why don't go for msi p55 cd 53. Priced around 7k its as good as the gigabyte board.

If you're buying i5 750 then stick with p55 boards as you won't benefit anything from h55.

can anyone tell me whats the advantage of having all solid caps in a mobo? its says longer lifespan of 40,000hrs. but do we really need? i mean a mobo bought today wil be outdated by 5-7yrs & so a full fledge replacement of the mobo + proccy is necessary. so is there any particular advantage of these solid caps? does it helps in OC?

& is heatsink over Mosfet really important? can't they be fan cooled by the cabby's side fans?

i not wanted created new thread for this small confusion so posted here as this thread should deal with all basic pc related issues.

Well theoretically solid stat capacitors should last longer, since the liquid electrolytic compound should not dry out. A nice mix of science and marketing...!

What you mean by mosfet...which one...?

yah, but is there any disadvantage of having a broad with electrolyte caps? i mean it should last 5ys easily. won't it? before the capacitors start to dry out.

Obviously voltage regulator mosfets.

yup, the voltage regulator. chokes. i not sure if its present in Intel chipset boards but seen them in AMD boards. so asking.

Guys even i need to build a new system in about 20-21k. However my requirements are slightly diffrent. I even asked about it earlier but at that tym my budget was just 15k, so i saved money 4 two months and now want to buy new system in this week.

Well I can't buy a monitor ryt now(will buy nxt month) and already hav speakers, and keyboard mouse. So bascially i need a cabinet, mobo, CPU, GFX card, RAM, DVD writer, HDD, and a good PSU to support all this. GFX card should be gud enuf to play games like COD4 at gud resolutions(will be buying a HD LCD).
So please suggest a config which fits in my budget.
Also could you people suggest a shop in nehru place, delhi where i can get products suggested by you guys coz in many shops in nehru place i couldn't find brands like corsair, Coolermaster etc. so any help in this regard would be highly appreciated(any website of a delhi based seller will also be good, i see many links to mumbai based sellers on the forum) .

Thanks a lot in advance to all those who take out time to reply....
