you cant fit in a DDR2 RAM in a DDR1 slot...

DDR-I is a 184 pin slot where as DDR-II is 240 pin slot, so u cnt fit a DDR1 ram in DDR-II slot or vice versa...

even if you try :p iether it will damage the motherboard or the RAM...

thnx...

Maybe.. try to get the 8800gt for 13k.. then get a xfx 650i ultra + a e6750 for 12.4k..and get 2*1gb ddr2 800mhz ram for 2.4k and a 250gb sata2 for 2.6k.. 30.5k..

I am planning on a pc upgrade....

Current config: Currently I have an pretty basic machine, more than 4 years old & passed through many excruciating tortures.......

P4 1.7GHz
Mercury mobo - KOB P4M266 NDFSMx
512(256x2) MB SDRAM
40GB Samsung HDD
SAMTRON 14" Monitor
DVDROM,CD-WRT,DVD-WRT etc


Budget: My ideal budget is around 12K, willing to go up to 16K - not really eager to go more than that but may need to......

Usages: Nowadays mainly for lots of surfing, downloading, little level of mutimedia editing but lots of heavy IDE's running, occasional gaming - hopefully newer games etc....
Expected really long uptimes & dusty environment.


Planning on upgrading Processor,MOBO,RAM & HDD, cabinet viz. SMPS
Probably no separate Graphics card for budget constraints.

Few points: :
* I know currently intel core2duo is recommended than amd series but i don't think i can go for any decent core2duo processor with considerable performance at that budget - unless someone specifies otherwise (considering I don't a bottleneck with low grade mobo/ram)
from last months digit's comparison maybe asus m2a vm & amd athlon 64 x2 5600?

* For HDD I'm thinking about 250GB 7200 rpm seagate.

* For RAM I'm thinking about 2GB DDR2 800MHz


So should i upgrade now? I dont want to stress more on the old one as I'm afraid it might pass out any month ,
Fellow digit members Please suggest me few configurations with approx prices, Please point out whats best for this situation than what I'm planning on....:)

Regards,

Thanks for the reply :)

I will keep the old cpu as it is so I'll also have to buy a cabinet.

I still have a few confusion.......
1)If I want to improve on the processor which is the best option for me from AMD X2 5000 to 5600 from value & performace pov. (5600 is the lowest one is that series with 2mb L2 cache i guess?)

2)The M2A VM is good or is there any other better option available for minimal increase of budget?

3) Whats the price of 2GB DDR2 800 Mhz these days?

4) Is colorsit good? I heard different opinions. I do attach lots of usb peripherals.
if i go for higher processor up to 5600 will the 450 watts be enough?
( As i never used the newer sata devices, whats with the issue of 'availability of sata cable in smps'?? )

lots of silly questions maybe.........
Thanx again.....

For some reason there is change in the budget so I want you to fit it in 20k keeping 2GB RAM,160GB HDD .
I was thinking of getting an AMD 5000+(Black edition) or 6000+ board-proccy combo. What do you think of this? And I have old DVD-Writer.
And i will be ripping my entire dvd collection on a harddisk using x264.I will be doing DVD ripping in short with x264. And I will be playing games like Crysis etc.
Thanks in advance!
