So true, but u know when u are using an additional graphics card then what chipset, hardly matters.
nVidia 630i chipsets doesn't supports Dual Channel operation where as 690G does!
Although Dual Channel gives a mere boost in performance but its an advantage after all.
Some games gives almost 10-15 FPS more in Dual Channel!
if buying 8800 then yeah normal psu may not even startbut bro, cheapest 450 watts of Rs. 350/- can drive Q6600 @ 2.8 ghz
For sure! But those 450W are not true 450W and also not as much efficient as the branded ones.
I used to have a navtech 450W that came with cabinet but i switched to Cooler Master extreme 430W. Also branded PSU has more Amps. which is good for the hardware.
Compare a local 600W PSU and a CM xtreme 600W PSU. U will also find that they have more sockets i.e SATA,molex! SO that they can give true power to the behemoths!

This sound sometimes comes from the HDD. I have a WD Caviar...it does make some noise at shutdown!

Try to push for ABiT IP35-E which is Rs. 5200/- + TAX or even Galaxy 650i Ultra
when u are buying a grfx cardn then no mean of 630i as it comes with onboard grfx which is a waste and there are no Dual Channel support on it

650i has some heating problems with it!
+10 Abit IP-35-E! Also has good overclocking options!

hi dude
8800GS is just waste of money.
Its just haf poerful as 8800GT.
In that case MSI HD 3850 256 for 160$ is much much better than that.
And 2G is enuf to keep an 8800GS or 3850 happy.
get a gud latency 2 GB kit. It wud perform better than 2*2G normal 800 as far as u dont play at extreme high resolutions[but those cards cant handle that]
and 3850 can be put to extreme oc. upto 180Mhz improvement on core and 200 Mhz on memory can be achieven nd it surpases 3870 in performance.
And the 512 MB version wud be better and is for some 190$

8800GS has 65mn GPU and 3850 has 55nm GPU. SO the 55nm can be oced much better.
And in stock speeds also, 3850 beats 8800GS hands down.
And with newer catalyst releases, the performance of HD 3xxx cards are increasing like hell. The performance is limited only coz of driver limitations and no game optimaisations done for ATI.
Theoritically HD 3850 has 320 shader units where even 8800GTX has only 128. But it not optimally used by games due to lack of optimisation, and nvidia seems paying every developers to optimise for nvidia. See the "way its meant to be played" logo on most of 2days game launches?
But ATI is trying to retify the lack of optimisations thru gud drivers, nd they are working gr8. eg:
catalyst 7.11 reviews are the one available whole over net. But with 7.12 things changed gr8ly. But with tha last week release of 8.1, the performance has improved very much.
And also with the HD 3850 cards u get an HDMI connector too and its a DX 10.1 card and has PCIE 2.0 interface which is backward compatiblw with 1.1.
nvidia's DX 10.1 card aka 9600GT is just on its way but as of reviews available, 8800GT is better.

ok . thanks . i did think of abit ip35 E but i wonder his budget will allow it .
is it better to buy ip35e+8600 now. . or 630i and get a gfx card later . say 3850 or 9600 when it comes to his budget range ?

Try for IP35-E even if that mean u are forced to buy XFX 8400 GS which is Rs. 2100/- + TAX
...630i lacks dual channel support
when thinkling high end system for performance then try to stay out of it the board is only good when some one has no plan for gaming how ever its an inter OC solution for Ripping videos or such

P4 are more power hungry than C2D anyway iBall 450 wattts does fine with 8600 and E6600 so would run fine with ur config too but do keep an option or thought open for Zebronics Platinum 500 watts which is around Rs. 1500 , with cabinet it costs Rs. 2200

thanks for the quick reply's choto .
choto , cud u test smps's in 2k-3k range. quite a lot of people say to stay away from zebby pure platinum . some say to go4 VIP , others powersafe and then there is colorsit .. so wats the best smps in that price range .
it will be gr8 if u cud do a review on that.

8800GS should be almost same as 3850pro because 3870 performs same as 8800GT. So 3850pro vs 8800GS shall remain same but all that matter is AA & AF in which nVidia takes it all!
That whats only matters to me!
