@sam
i saw some android pads in market very sweetly priced around 5k and they have better features and support then even the i pad just lags in multitouch,screen quality and warrenty,hope indian firms like the makers of ADAM make something like that at slashed prices

@topgears
i totally agree with u on that dell's higher end of mini 10 at about 18k got better built n battery,multi touch trackpad,powerful processor,full keyboard,just lacks the missing 3g sim slot which i can compansate wid my phone bluetoothing it to d system

but i'm still 60-40 hcl (indian) also not bad

i'Ll finalise after getting a hands on experience in the showroom if i get to,

i hope there was something like bing cash back in india,
though i can get 5% back on my friends iit student card

Highly impossible with banks already struggling to make profits in India :lol: But lets hope private sector banks take the step ahead. :)

^^ a 32 bit OS ( server grade ) can support as much as 128GB of ram :p

but most of the consumer grade 32 bit OS has mem limitation upto 4GB though you may the usable amount of ram in this type of OS may be anything between 2.5-3.5GB.

Any 32 bit application like maya/autocad/3ds max etc on a 32 ( x86 ) bit OS even if it's a server grade one can consume only upto 2GB ram due to 32 bit application architecture limitation.

-------------------------------------------

have you updated your mobo bios ?

your memory chip or even ram slot may have some kind of probs - if possible resit the ram or use a different memory module.

Onec I've heard that x58 mobos have memory recognition probs though it was solved later - those mobos were only recognizing 3 Gb of ram instead of 6 GB - forgot which manufacturer it was though.

if you are getting all those 4 GB using x64 windows then you have to install slipstreamed windows xp sp3 version.

@ Victorxls - as you are going to use internet using your cell phone then get the dell mini 10 and haggle at the shop and they may reduce the price and yes it's very important to test the netbook so if possible test those two new babies and see which one you like most :p

@ abhidev - yep, let us know about the budget.

Though here a little bit of suggestions :p

Intel c2d e7500 @ ~ 5.5k
MSI P43 Neo ( DDR2 ) @ ~3.8

CM Hyper TX3 @ 1.3k - oc the cpu around 3.8 Ghz with this one and get great performance :p

Are yaar, the systems is fine except for the RAM slot which is broken.Because of that now i just hv 2gb RAM and the rest 1gb is unused.I hv installed win7 and running games on it is slower.So for that i hv to lower down graphics a bit.
