I was too going to ask that! btw I asked my computerwallah and got a negative reply that it is ot available here. Though belief is a concern 'cause the same guy quoted 8600GT's price 9.1k!

Sigh... Im as confused as a monkey with cellphone...

Need suggesstion for MOBO + CPU + RAM,

I will go for E6750 , but please recomend a motherboard, NON-SLI , basic overclocking is ok. budget for all 3 - 15K

I have heard that XFX 650i has some stability issues with it. Also please let me know about the chipsets which came after 965..

I have a nVidia 7300GT with me, so even if there is no onboard graphics its ok for me.

 

[Gigacore]

get Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R

after 965, nividia launched 680 & 650 chipsets and now intels p35 and g33
All decent motherboards for intel are above 7k except xfx 650i ultra.
There is good comparison of intel motherboards in this months digit,have read it?
If u want good performance in games choose nividia based chipset frm xfx or galaxy.
Good features in mb then asus starting frm 7k
Performance+energy efficient then 965 based mobo.(nividia chipset consumes 25-35w more).

I was looking for a configuration & I more or less decided on the following: (the prices are indicative from theitwires, if anyone know the updated amount (kolkata) please specify)

AMD Athlon x2 5600+ --- 6600
Asus M2A VM --- 3500
2 GB Transcend DDR2 800 MHz --- 3000
250GB Seagate (16mb) HDD --- 2900
Colorsit SMPS + Cabinet --- no idea(~2000)
---------------------------------------------------
Total ~ 18000+ VAT


Primarily I had a much lower budget but as it came to this, I started wondering if I will make a mistake by not opting for better Core2Duo series by spending little extra?
What do you guys suggest(with specific details please)
Would like to try basic oc.
Please reply , I will be eagerly waiting

Actually I called Abacus Peripherals (Chennai Branch) to enquire about this MB only...but they told me that it will take 1 or 2 weeks for that board to arrive...but they gave the price of 7050 model as 3.3k...i am also waiting for 7150 only (coz it has DVI & HDMI)...

For the very same price get the following config & it is equivalent to AMD X2 6000 (at stock)

Intel E6550 --- 6900
Biostar 7050 --- 3200
2 GB Transcend DDR2 800 MHz --- 3000
250GB Seagate (16mb) HDD --- 2900
Colorsit SMPS + Cabinet --- no idea(~2000)

A better system without overclocking....
If u overclock this proc it can easily acheive (400FSB*7==>2.8Ghz) & will kill any AMD offering....

better to choose 5200+ 2.7 Brisbane core(not windsor) for which uses less power and runs cooler than 5600+.
not much difference in performance also.
If u r going for core 2 duo u will need to find a good motherboard(above 6k) to match core 2 duo .
In amd platform u will get good motherboard under 4k,so another option is to buy amd 5000+ black edition having unlocked multiplier(overclocking is easy) and to overclock it to match performance similar to core 2 duo at stock cooling.

 

[RCuber]

@cyberboy , gigacore, arun and vivek , harvik ( via PM ) thanks a lot for your suggestions..

I want to choose between these

Biostar P35 ( just one model available ) but there is one problem in this board.. the power connectors are right inthe middle of the board between the processor and the pcie x16 port..

MSI P35 Neo. The board looks quite good. will look into this closer

There is one more board Intel DP35DP how is it?

 

[~It_is_Andrew~]

Thanx for the reply arun_chennai & cyberboy_kerala

I choose 5600+ because I heard its the first one(in ascending order) in that series to have 2 MB L2 cache .
& also some say 5200+ is 2.7GHz some say its 2.6 GHz?? Once i read somewhere that running a proc with odd number of 1/2 of GHz rating should be avoided as it'll not be able to make use of full 800MHz speed of the ram, I'm not sure about how that works though!?

edit : how to differentiate between "Brisbane core(not windsor)"??
