630 is a LGA 775 any motherboard supporting LGA 775 will work... :) if you have a grfx card, then opt for XFX 650i Ultra of Abit / BIOSTART x38 :D

if you need onboard solution, then go for BIOSTAR 7100 (GF7100P-M7S) / ABit 7100 (I-N73HD) based motherboard... both are at Rs. 4 to 4.5k mark :)

Thank u Choto Cheeta

If not xfx 650i, which other mobo should be taken into account!! WHY?

Same for xfx 8600 GT??

Please give difference in terms of features and price to help in proper decisions!!

hey guys...i have some questions regarding processors (hope it applies in this thread...lol)

1. is it true that having memory module(s) with the speed of the same or the half amount of FSB of a core2duo procy in the system makes the performance better? (e.g. suppose the c2d procy has 800 MHz FSB...then should the memory module(s) be of 800 or 400 MHZ speed?)

2. what would be the best procy within 5.5 k now?

3. do AMD processors have any compatibility issues with nvidia gfx cards?

thanx in advance for any help guys...

2. what would be the best procy within 5.5 k now?

3. do AMD processors have any compatibility issues with nvidia gfx cards?

well...what should be the parts to make a system within 12k then? (just mobo, procy, ram...ram min 2 gb and procy should be the best that comes within that value...and mobo should be of a minimal cost)

what is your need ?? can u please state that ??
i just want to upgrade my pc. i have a p4 3.06 ht procy, 2 gb ddr400 ram and intel d101ggc mobo.
my main requirement is the procy. i want a decent core2duo or athlon x2 procy...and for this i have to change the mobo too (tho it's not much important to have a grand one...need one with just the essential supports)...and wanna upgrade the ram to 2 gb ddr2 too.
and my budget for all these 3 is 12k as i've mentioned before.

hi guyz...
I want to buy a PC under Rs.35000 for my hostel. So tell me best configuration for my PC. I'm in delhi,so which place is good for buying assembled computer?

And also tell me, which monitor is best, CRT or TFT? i'm interested in 17" TFT monitor. But some ppl are saying that TFT has no long life, is it true?

Choto Cheeta .... thanks for the nice thread..

Wanted to ask ... does the onboard graphics motherboards you suggested are better then intel's GMA X 3000 or 3100 ....?? (I am talking about the graphic power)

^^Go for AMD if you want more performance with less money. If you can spend then intel is obviously the best choice:cool:

1. will any of these systems run on my present 400 watts PSU ? (i have a 8600gt fatal1ty gfxcard, a soundblaster soundcard, one 200 and one 250 gb sata hdds and a dvd writer at present that i'll combine with that new system)

2. will the AMD based system among the 2 you specified be a better platform for gaming than that c2d based system ? (i think it will be)

thanks..

@satyamy
X2 4400+: 3.5k
MSI K9A GM2: 2.4k
total: 5.9k

@RexRazr
better get a new PSu, at least a Zebronics 500W Platnum for 1.8k. itll work fine.
At Stock, the AMS system is powerful that that C2D, unless u do some serious overclocking and get the c2D to 3Ghz.But i doubt if that mobo will limit the C2D oc capability. And ofcourse X2 can be oced too, but only max upto 3.2Ghz or maybe 3.3.
For AMD, u can also go for MSI K9AGM3 for 2.7k which have same specs as M2A VM. And invest that money into a PSU.

And ull have to upgrade ur PSU, for either of these systems.

Since u are from New Delhi, try Nehru Place for the assembled one and in 35000 u can pretty much be able to get enough hardware.

E6750, A-Bit IP35-E,Transcend 2 GB 800 Mhz, 8600 GT or HD3850....for price list refer to the first page of this thread!
