Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[Plasma_Snake]

Like we saw 9800Gt in SLi mode in the form 9800GTX2, is 8800GT available in the same mode? I will also be upgrading my system soon and since my screen can support max res of 1360x768 only can you suggest me a card(or 2 in SLi) that can play even future games like Alan Wake in above mentioned resolutions without any noticeable frame drop?
Can we expect drop in 790i's rate by this December?
I say December cause in December, hopefully I'll be upgrading my

Please state your budget

@W i d e S c r e e N

I dont think that motherboard life is over !! Some time you know, simply a screw which is not properly tighten with the cabinet can shake the HDD while its spinning and that can generate this type of sound,

also few of our segeate HDD 250g / 160g is bit noisy but still there is not performance issue with them..

the random freezing now rarely occurs

can u tell us how the 1st problem of noice was solved !! ??

^^I doubt you could fit everything in that budget. How about switching to AMD Triple Core and 780G ?

i would like to buy intel CPU preferably C2Q Quad-core and MOBO either an intel chipset or nVidea chipset from ASUS. don't worry about budget as i can add some more bucks (up to 30k)

anyone please suggest a good Combo within two or three days.

also suggest a good Mono laser printer. but i'm thinking to buy a MFD (fax not req.)
with decent printing quality and scan resolution.

also give the prices if possible.

Hi..

Nice thread. And pretty good responses too....

Now, I want to setup my office with two working pcs, one for accounting, and one for internet and documentation stuff.

I am trying to get only one full pc, and running two different systems for different purpose. Is this possible? I heard of some server client thing, but as I am not sure whether it works, I am here for your opinion.

Tell me, is it possible to run two different and working pc terminals, with just one pc?
(Earlier I asked in questions forum, but was moved here. However, can't find what I am looking for.)

Try to avoid the 65nm in case of new purchase

*www.chotocheeta.com/2008/06/18/difference-between-45nm-core-2-duo-quad-and-65nm-core-2-duo-quad/

 

[nish_higher]

yea i keep visiting ur website.good article.but actually 45nm quads are good on the paper only.i'm not counting the extreme ones.but if u practically compare these with oc'ing and their performance in quad compatible apps,their performance is almost the same.q6600 easily oc's well and is the best vfm +performance processor till now.upcoming 45nm quads would be good but they ain't coming soon.

@Choto Cheeta,
I thought it was solved when I installed a RAID driver missing from the system. Till now the clicking noise from the HDD has lessened, in occurrence. I'm praying it stays that way.

BTW, isnt that noise a signal to get the HDD replaced?

Check S.M.A.R.T for HDD health.
see if Threshold Exceeds, if yes then Time for RMA

Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART)

In an effort to help users avoid data loss, drive manufacturers are now incorporating logic into their drives that acts as an "early warning system" for pending drive problems. This system is called Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology or SMART. The hard disk's integrated controller works with various sensors to monitor various aspects of the drive's performance, determines from this information if the drive is behaving normally or not, and makes available status information to software that probes the drive and look at it.

I am looking for to purchase the internals of a computer (i.e. Motherboard, Processor, RAM, PSU, Graphics Card and HDD) with a budget around 20k. Here is what I have thought of so far...

1. Motherboard: Won't do massive overclocking and since I will be buying a Graphics Card onboard Graphics is really not needed.

2. Processor: I will prefer Intel but can do with AMD, Standard Core 2 Duo (I think the 8xxx series is what is sellig nowadays) or Athlon X2 would do.

3.Graphics Card: I am leaning towards a 9600GSO Graphics card here... but if I can't get it in the budget, is there something between the price/performance range of 8600 GT and 9600GSO? And also what are the decent 8600GT options other than the obvious Electric Stove or Mercury?

4.HDD: Yeah any basic 250 GB+ SATA HDD would do, Seagate, Samsung or WD.

5.PSU: I gather that with my specs 500W is recommended here, I am not looking for Extreme Performance Solutions but definitely el cheapo el crappo I-Ball won't do here, what are the price ranges of VIP,Zebby or CM PSU-s of 500W here?

6.RAM: 2GB Ram- Transcend or something quality that costs around 2k.

Now I am basically confused about the MoBo and Processor choice- both Intel's xxxx and AMD's X2 range confuses me- and I have little idea of presently available P35 ranged motherboards, (is MSI's Neo still available), let alone their prices. Help would be appreciated

I recommend this combination:

AMD 780G Motherboard
AMD Phenom X3 8450 Processor
ATI Radeon HD3650 - USE IN HYBRID CROSSFIRE MODE
Transcend Value RAM DDR2 800MHz 1+1 Combo
