Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[W i d e S c r e e N]

Future compatible is big scam.

They have ddr2 + ddr3 mobo's but you can only use either one at a time ofcourse and a upgrade of 1333 mhx from 1066, isnt an upgrade.

@WideScreeN
What I mean by "Future Compatible" is that the mobo should be capable of housing future products which are in pipeline now....like what happened in past with PCI & PCIE slots...I hope u got my point...

Now any gentlemen around who are really interested in suggesting me....?

 

[MetalheadGautham]

No, I don't want to overclock........

one and only one answer:

get C2Q Q6600 and ABit IP35-E

 

[astrosahil]

motherboard in the range of 4k-8k

i live in pune. can anybody tell me where can i get a good motherboard in the range of Rs. 4000-8000. Which one? I have no specific requirements but the board should last me for 4-5 years and should be compatible with my e8200 intel processor.

Re: Is this configuration gud ??

[Night-Rider]

CAn any one tell me how much should i expect?
3.0ghz p4
512MB DDR RAM
Asrock Intel 915GL motherboard
PSU 400W

Re: Is this configuration gud ??

No look for a core2duo configuration.
You must at least have a E4600 processor.

 

[MetalheadGautham]

CAn any one tell me how much should i expect?
3.0ghz p4
512MB DDR RAM
Asrock Intel 915GL motherboard
PSU 400W

for sale or for buying ?

if its for sale, expect very less for the motherboard. I have it and I must say 915GL sucks since it lacks a PCIe 16x slot. Heck, it doesn't even have a PCIe 8x slot atleast. Instead, its advertised as PCIe enabled but it shipps with a PCIe 1x slot that can hardly be used. And it has no AGP slot. This means NO EXTERNAL GRAPHICS AND YOU ARE DOOMED TO LIVE WITH GMA900.

I suppose the RAM would go for a moderate price of around Rs. 500-700.

PSU may go for ~Rs.300

P4 - not sure. 1.4k is your best bet.

Please tell us your budget and usage of PC so that we can give u best possible configuration ..

 

[Night-Rider]

^^ Buddy i used an AGP FX5200 card with it and it supports PCIe cards upto 8600GT. Above that and it can't provide enough bandwidth. My motherboard has an AGP 8x slot and a PCIe 4X slot. I want to sell off these parts b'coz m upgrading.
As u say
P4 1.4k
PSU 300
RAM 500
And now mobo??

 

[Psychosocial]

^^

get a Abit- IP35e
E8200
2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM
8800GT 512
320GB HDD
and u r all set to go!!!!!

E7200, dg31pr, 2gb ddr2 ram, dell 19", cm elite 330, 500w cheapo psu, vs2141, samsung sh203, optical mouse kbd combo. All this can be done in 25k or less. Save the other 5k.

Yea and get a 250gb hdd too. Forgot that

 

[Choto Cheeta]

hey choto, any idea how much the 9150e x4 phenom (I think its 8750. correct me if I am wrong) and the 2.5GHz x3 phenom cost ? I heard the x3 2.5GHz phenom comes at the same cost as the E7200 dual-core penryn. Is it true ?

The lowest X4 in Kolkata I could digg up is Phenom X4 9550 at Rs. 8000 where as The Phenom X3 model 8450 is retailing at Rs. 5500/- + VAT

So those who are buying X2 5200 or such, start thinking about X3 8450 @ Rs. 5.8 - 6k

I think 780G has finally met its match. Till recently, Phenoms sucked.

X2 + 780 didnt seemed that good but now with 2 MB L3 and 1.5 L2 X3 8450 with a 780G looks a real killer config compare to a lower range C2D like E4500 with a Intel Graphics board

Certainly X3 is upto the mark as lower range penryn !!!

Few systems here at my place are in need for upgrade hence considering 780g + iether X3 or X4

For some reason many dealer here at Kolkata is asking to come back on or after 8th July as they are expecting some price cut from AMD and availibility of lower range low cost Phenom X4 9150e !!!!

Hello Choto, I've planned to buy the ABiT IP35 MoBo and the Intel C2Q 6600. Do you think it's gonna be ok ? Should I go for the ABiT IP35 Pro, I don't need the SLi. Is there any difference in performance between the two ? Should I get the C2D E8400 3.0 or the C2Q 6600 2.4 ? Which one should be better ? Please enlighten me

As this point, do not go for any 65nm processor

kyon yaar... I was just about to finish my blog entry about the RETURN of the PHENOM and you raced me
Congratulations

I posted the exact same config, but with 800MHz ram instead of 667Mhz.

I think Phenom is awssome for multitasking, unlike Core2Duos which have better gaming use but not multitiasking.

Allow me to delete my post and you may edit your one with the config which you have in mind

@Choto Cheeta
Super Thanks, You are a Guru In hardware matters.

Very nice, can you give a Intel based setup, AMD is not very popular here.

DON'T DO THAT

I was just kidding.

I have a long way to go before I edit my stuff and make it better looking and as professional as expected from others.

Anyway, do you think we can grab phenom 9150 In India ?
