^ip35 is more future proof

 

[Jags]

^^it will cost me ??
also it does not support ddr2 1066mhz ..is that a really BIG deal in terms of performance ??

 

[Pathik]

The abit ip35e is definitely a better mobo.. But it is 1.2k costlier. Both r vfm ocers. Btw devil the name is pathik. Not pathiNk.. . And ru sure u hav quoted the price of ddr2 667 and not 800mhz ram??

@moshel

As its a system for a person who would be doing Ph.D on a filed which doesnt need heavy computer processing power, look in to this notebook model rather than a desktop...

Compaq Presario C702TU Notebook PC (GS091PA)

The base confir is,

Intel Celeron D 1.73 GHz / 533 FSB / 1 MB L2
Mobile Intel GL960
GMA x3100
512 MB <<<< Upgrade this with another 512 MB which is Rs. 800 MAX
80 GB SATA HDD
8x DVD RW drive
Wifi / USD 2.0 / LAN / Modem / Card Reader
15.4" WideScreen with 1280x800 resoltuion

with 1 GB RAM its is Rs. 24800/- incl VAT and TAX and every thing, comes free carrey case and an USB mouse...

with 1 GB its fully vista ready with GMA x3100...

as basic it comes with 1 year warrenty but i suggest when you purchase ask the vendor to let you know whether it would be possible for you to extend the warrenty after 8 or 10 month of purchase, for information Compaq by default allows it, but some time vendors want to misguide you by stating not...

after 8 or 10 month extend the warrenty for another 2 years which usually costs Rs. 4100/- for this model

@Choto
Zebronics Peace (PSU 400W)
XFX 650i Ultra
Transcend 2GB (1GB*2) DDR-II 800MHz
XFX GeForce 8600GT 256MB
250 GB SATA-II Segate
But my same old processor P4

Is this config fine for graphic editing (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) use and little bit of gaming?

 

[Choto Cheeta]

But my same old processor P4

There is a doubt... !!! OLD P4 means ?? is it a LGA 775 one or older socket one ??

if its LGA775 then system will work, but wont be the best config under you budget as if I were you for your needs I may cosider, droping the grfx card and opt for a AMD X2 based solution...

now if you a Intel fan and want to keep the door open for better options, then still I would say, drop the 8600, opt for ASUS P5K-VM with Intel E2140... so it keeps all option open for you under Intel platform !!!

@Anup Nair

can you please tell us your need ?? I mean what would b the use for the system ??

My processor is P4 2.4 GHz, so I think it's a socket 478 one.

Hi. I am Planning to buy a pc for myself. My Budget is Rs. 20,000/-. My Requirements are Motherboard of Intel or any other you can suggest me. Excluding the Monitor
I don't have any knowledge about the Configuration. Please suggest me one as soon as possible. The Pc should be generally for Home use with a little bit of gaming support.
Plz suggest me the prices as per Mumbai Market.

Thanks
