1) my 2 year old LG DVD writer has gone bad. Its writng about 60% and starts writing Lead out and gives a session fixation error or something. What might be the problem? can we repair it or have to get a new one? ( Have updated firmware also but no use)

2) There are 4 or 5 different models in Sparkle 9500 GT 512MB. Which one is better? if I get a card with 2 DVI outputs can i use an DVI to VGA adapter for one of my monitors? If so what would be the price of that adapter?

3) Thinking of getting Samsung 2033 SW+ monitor for around 7.2 k. Is it better to get a Benq G2200 for around 8k instead?

some other mobo plz. this mobo old. also OP not provided any info on PSU. a relatively low costing PSU @ 2k will be good for him.

780 based mobo
2gb ddr2 ram-less than 2k
hd 5670-5.1k

Hi

I am planing to buy a proc, MOBO, DDR, HDD, CAB/PSU and if possible a Graphic card for 17k-21k. I will be using for browsing and also playing games
I am thinking of choosing the configuration from below. please suggest.

Proc:
INTEL Core2Duo E7500 / 2.93 GHz 1066MHz,3MB,LGA - 5.2k
INTEL Quad Core Q8300 / 2.5 GHz 1333MHz,4 MB,LGA - 7.4k
Athlon II X3 II X3 - 435 2.9 GHz, 1.5MB, AM3 - 3.9K
Phenom X4 Quad X4 - 945 3.0GHz, 8M, AM3 - 7.7k

MOBO:
INTEL G41 DG41TY - 3.7k
INTEL G45 DG45ID - 5.3k
M61PME-K - 3.5k
ECS A785GM-M5 - 3.4k
TA 785G-A3 - 3.7k
MA785GM-US2H - 4.4k

HDD:
Seagate-SATA 500 GB - 2.3k

RAM:
DDR2 - Transcend - 2.6k
DDR3 - Transcend - 3.1k

CAB:
any cabinet around 2K with PSU will do ?

Can you suggest any graphic card, if required....

Do you think buying a better MOBO (like M4A78STD-V-EVO) with a standard proc (like X2) will be good ?

Thanks,
Saravan

oh yes, else he'll miss the card. but suppose he using a cheap 400W or 450W PSU unit, he may go with HD5670 512Mb & get a better mobo. also that mobo damn old & lacks many features of new mobo.

i not know where you got these rates but they are out of market rates. really. HD5670, suppose 512Mb for 5.1k. OH MAN. :shock:

& Gigabyte 460W for 2.8k? its stepping on head of Corsair CX400W. & also Seasonic 380W.

Core i3 or Athlon II X4 - 630 ? Both are available at the similar price range of Rs 5X00

Which one is better ?
