I have geforce 6200tc supporting 256...
Now since by budget has good slightly up after few saving i am planning to put in a rig to play ONLINE GAMES.i haven tried it.
I dont know whether it can be done with a 256 kbps connection!
I want to play ONLINE games like cs ,secondlife ,i dont know whether we can play in india?i was just thinking of.
And guys suggest a core 2 duo system also...
Since the only thing i found which cant be updated later is processor.so i am having second thought of going for core 2 duo system..
And also a nice mobo.B-)
Each time i think i go one step further...sh!t
Why cant systems be like TV ,buy them, forget them for a solid 5-8 years.:''@

@naveen
u can play CS 1.6 online in India.There are lots of servers to play smoothly with FPS near abt 100 constant.
u hv to purchase original CS 1.6 cd ( price RS 499/-) and create an account through steam.
Note :- U cant install CS with original cd without internet.
Then search for V Street servers. They are really good.

guys help me...

which TV tuner are you using Choto_cheeta???

Pinnacle 2100 something??

I want a tuner with Composite AV in to record from my analog video camera...

can u recommend me one thats Win Vista compatible and also has composite video...

also my dad is coming from philadelphia, USA...
i'll ask him to get it from there ... can u tell me one thats readily available at leading hardware stores...

within 3 k possibly...

 

[..:: Free Radical ::..]

^ ask him to get the NVIDIA DualTV MCE tuner from u.s. (needs WinXP mce or vista if you want to use the stock software $170) if you want the best.
Else, get the Hauppauge ones ( check their website for the one that suits you).
Make sure if you a re getting an analog tv tuner from abroad that it supports PAL B/G input (india/uk region) and not NTSC (u.s.).
If yu want to purchase locally and are looking for an internal solution with hardware encoding, pinnacles are best. For lcd / external tuners, you can buy an el cheapo local (techcom/frontech/iball) = about Rs 750

 

[bikdel]

well does that come under INRs 3000 ....... i dont think so...

thing is i dont have a penny out here but he is coming so thought of buying a PINNACLE or COMPRO card that has

1. Composite video record facility
2. Compatible with Vista MCE

... i dont need hardware decoder... have a q6600 to do the work

@free radical..... its the NON REMOTE version that comes for 170 $, with remote it costs 219$

and even then 170 $ will be out of my range...... something within rs 3000..

hiii. I want to buy a good motherboard for intel platform and having dual GPU mode.I am thinking about the Nvidia 650i SLI . Will it be a good choice?And what graphics card i should buy to play the latest games?Can i go for the Nvidia 8600gt?My budget for both motherboard and graphics card is 8K each.Hope to get a reply soon.Please give the prices too with the items.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

yea 650i sli is a good budget solution.

Will it be a good choice?And what graphics card i should buy to play the latest games?Can i go for the Nvidia 8600gt

Depends upon your budget.yea 8600gt is a good choice


XFX 8600gt costs 6.2k alone.
XFX 650i Sli costs around 10k.

You can consult theese sites for prices:
SITE1
SITE2

 

[Pathik]

IF he can give 10k then rather get the asus p5n 32 sli... it has the 680i chipset...
if u want a budget solution.. get the asus p5ne sli...

^^hmm...Dude forget AMD.I really mean just forget AMD.Intel is miles ahead of AMD as of now.
At 10k for mobo+processor combo you have several choices:
1.E 2140--3k
XFX 650i ultra--5k(no onboard graphics)
2.E4400--5.5k
XFX 650i Ultra--5k

I think 2nd option should be the best for you.Both e2140 and e4400 oces great and are great value for money.

Since you stressed on a good mobo 650i ultra by XFX is the best choice for you but it has no onboard graphics(as a matter of fact no good mobo has ondoard graphics) so you will need to buy a graphic card if you don't haf any now.any cheapo will do like 7100,7300 or 8400gs.

thnks for the reply first ..
i have geforce 6200 tc from my prev system

i am planning to geta system which wont be changed for say next 2-3 years..
so i am planning to invest in core 2 duo..

wht i mentioned is mobo only within 10k..
my budget is around 25k for the system without monitor , mouse , keyboard and gfx card..

can u workout a good system with really good platform..
shall i go for core 2 duo or just stay with duo core..

man i am confused..
please do help me ..
propably i have a week time before i have give my SPECIFICATION .. i mean REAL specification including the model number and all details to my assembler..

so please do help me

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

ok budget-25k
whats needed-Proccy,mobo,hdd.RAM,G.card(i think you need an upgrade over 6200tc.

Is that it?

 

[Choto Cheeta]

^^^

The system is only for Downloading right ??

then few things you need to consider a Stable platform heat issue and off course the power bills...

Adding a GRFX Card will mean extyra power and heat !!

Here is what I would recomend for a Seeder Box type system under Rs. 25k...

AMD X2 4000+ @ Rs. 2800
MSI K9AMG2 @ Rs. 2450
320 GB x 2 HDD 16 MB Buffer @ Rs. 6400
2 GB DDR-II 667 MHz @ Rs. 3600
A large well ventilated Cabinet with Few FANs and 500 Watts SMPS @ Rs. 2500

TAX @ 4% Kolkata Rs. 710

Total Rs. 18460/-

for a Seeder box type system no need for a DVD RW as put that in LAN with your main system and transfer files when needed.... now you have still Rs. 6.5k left, intest that full in a better and heavy duty UPS for higher backup time for your seeder box and the modem/switch !!!

System is future proof will be able to run Vista with ease ... I would also suggest buy Kaspersky 7.0 for maximum protection of DATA !!! put KAV on highest of its settings !!!

Thank you...

 

[spartacus]

i am not much into oc , so would Asus P5BVM would be a good choice ??
it has p965g chipset & x3000 gma onboard graphics solution ...
