Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[RCuber]

I checked a few rewiews of Biostar P35 TP35D2-A7 at PC Stats and TechReport and I have to say im impressed with this board..

Will check the availability and exact cost of this board in bangalore.

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.

hey man 4.2k Biostar P35 is more than enough to handle Core 2 duo (or quad)....dont be loyal to a company...just get the brand which is best at a particular point of time...now Intel is better & so i advised him to get it...if phenom is better then i will suggest that...fanboyism is bullshit...

There is one more board Intel DP35DP how is it?

intel DBOARDS no no no

u can also look at abit IP35-E .its a decent overclocker...

[RCuber]

^^ I wonder why no no to intel D Boards.. doesnt intel perform that good?

 

[Gigacore]

They will.. but they are damn expensive.. other mother manufactures will integrate same chipset and wil give u more features at low price!

I spoke to a few guys and e6750 is not available for less than 8K.

Intel E6750 = Rs. 8000 + 4%
Biostar P35 = Rs. 4400 + 4 %
2 x 1GB DDR 2 @ 800 MHz = Rs. 2800 + 4%

GT = Rs. 15800
maybe I can bargain with them to get it under 15K , on the other hand I checked with Computerwarehouse and this was their price.

Intel E6750 = Rs. 8450 + 4% = Rs. 8788
they have only intel mobos for c2d
INTEL DG 31PR = 4500
INTEL DG 33FBC = 5400
INTEL DG 33TLM = 7200
1GB DDR 2 @ 800 MHz = Rs. 1530 + 4%

this comes about 1-2K more than what I get in SP road...

who is fanboy here? My last two systems are intel and i am still using one.so bad guess work frm u.
Biostar p35 is vfm mobo but not good as asus or msi in terms of performance , it has problem with NIC which causes high cpu usage .And also its lag behind other mobo in gaming performance

 

[RCuber]

^^ Yea I forgot that point about high CPU usage on NIC for BioStar p35.. does it always take that much CPU or just when using on 1000 mbps.

 

[upendra_gp]

friends is the cost of AMD 6000 and Motherboard combo at Rs.10900 fine?

which Mobo?

 

[haokipomb]

guys, is Asus P5KC a good mobo for E 6750 proccy. and how future proof it is? any other suggested mobos from Asus.
budget is 10k

appreciate ur helps.

thnx

somewhere i read that its cpu usage is high even with core 2 duo.
If u r going for this mobo put a Nic card
Northbridge heat sink Fan is a must ,And also dont overclock too much with this, since it only have 3 phase voltage regulator as opposed to 8 phase in asus(xfx 650i hav 4 phase) so stability problems may creep in long run.
If u dont overclock too much with this mobo then its a good buy.

Yeah thats a kill for a motherboard but it only supports X-Fire. And u gonna need ATi cards for that. Although nVidia card is also supported but not in SLI. But even if u still use single nVidia card then also the performance will not be that much great.

Rest is fine with the motherboard!

thanx keith, but can u kindly explain what u mean by "it only supports X-fire". do u mean this card is no good for nVidia card. do u want to suggest other asus mobos within similar price range.

thanx agn

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

It will not be possible to run 2 nVidia cards in SLI mode but if u have 2 ATi cards then u can enjoy Crossfire ( ATi's technology to run 2 graphics cards on i system. THats whats 2 PCI-E slots are for)

My suggestion is P5N 32 E SLI @ 12500/- but trust me this motherboard is better than P5K-C apart from DDR3 Support.
or XFX nForce 680i-LTSLI for 10500/-.

I am not a Intel original chipset fan so i don't know much about Intel chipsets but if u really wanna buy an Intel chipset then buy X38 chipset which is better than P35 chipset.
I always suggest and buy nVidia or ATi chipsets! Beeter than Intel originals!

Dont get tensed for everything mate......check out this page
*www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2173&page=11
in this Biostar P35 beats Gigabyte P35 & X38 in all the games...

And one more this is ASUS P35 board costs more than 8.5k (twice that of Biostar board) & MSI NEO costs 6.5k...for 4.4k definately Biostar P35 is the best...

somewhere i read that its cpu usage is high even with core 2 duo.

Please give me the link that stats about the high CPU usage of Biostar P35....coz i have a plan to buy that...& one more thing i never mentioned u as a fayboy & i explained only about the general fanboyism....

thnx

for 10k Abit P35pro is the best...if u stick to ASUS then P5KC is also a very good board & it supports Penryn Line up,so it future proof also...

Arun this is the quote from techreport.

Peripheral performance
We've condensed our peripheral performance testing results to a single page to give a quick overview of where Biostar's boards stand.

We evaluated Ethernet performance using the NTttcp tool from Microsoft's Windows DDK. Our server was a Windows XP Pro system based on Asus' P5WD2 Premium motherboard with a Pentium 4 3.4GHz Extreme Edition (800MHz front-side bus, Hyper-Threading enabled) and PCI Express-attached Gigabit Ethernet. A crossover CAT6 cable was used to connect the server to each system.
NTttcp Ethernet performance
mobo-- Throughput (Mbps)---CPU utilization (%)
Biostar TP35D2-A7 --692.154 -- 43.20
Biostar TP35D3-A7 Deluxe (DDR3)-- 943.112-- 21.98

On the Ethernet front, things look reasonably good for the D3, which offers competitive throughput and acceptable CPU utilization. The D2, however, is a disaster. Not only does the board's PCI-based Gigabit Ethernet controller's throughput fail to reach 700Mbps, but CPU utilization is also over 43%—more than double that of GigE implementations with similar throughput.

I donot think this will be a problem cause not many use the gigabit interface , and maybe this is just a bios glitch which may be fixed in the future.

BTW I also think this wont affect when using it in 10/100 speed.

[upendra_gp]

which Mobo?

don't know......he said that its nvidia mobo i.e. board-processor combo

 

[janitha]

Then how can anybody tell whether its combo with AMD 6000 is worth Rs.10900?
