Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[juggler]

Just a curiosity

We always talk about buying fast to very fast processor
but how fast a processor do we actually need in real world applications??

 

[hellgate]

^^^ it all depends on wat type of apps ur running.not all apps gain from a faster procy clk speed.

 

[mastermunj]

which LCD monitor is best to go for?

Philips, LG, ViewSonic, Samsung???

am planning for 17" LCD

 

[nvidia]

ViewSonic 17" widescreen

 

[mastermunj]

in my office i use dell 17"...

is it good to go for wide screen? i mean, all the images stretched and screen too!!!

and moreover i have heard that viewsonic does not have service center in india...

 

[nvidia]

^^No images are not stretched if you are using the monitor in its native resolution. Some games may appear stretched if you are playing it at low resolution.

 

[hellgate]

@mastermunj dont go for Viewsonic.try and get a Dell or HP.

 

[mastermunj]

why Dell or HP?

i will prefer on site warranty for monitor...

 

[hellgate]

afaik dell provides onsite support warranty for its monitors too.
i suggested Dell or HP cuz they hav better build and picture quality than Viewsonic.

@upendra_gp

Go for ABit IP35-Pro which is around Rs. 9200/- + TAX get E2140 as for now and then buy a 45 nm when they come to india

 

[spikygv]

@upendra , i think u've missed the smps . . corsair 450W should do.

 

[upendra_gp]

@ choto
won't XFX 650i be good?
if u have any suggstions for the monitor they are welcome also.

 

[spikygv]

hey choto , is abit better than MSI , asus , xfx ?

and for me will a zebby 500W do ? recommend one in 2k range. i can get it from b'lore . thanks.

 

[Pathik]

@upendra if u wanna save cash then get the Abit IP35e. @ sagargv you can get the zebby 500w platinum in 1.6k.

Abit mobos r good enuf.wont say that they r better than Asus/MSI but surely they perform almost at par with them.
afaik abit mobos offer a better price-performance ratio.
