Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[janitha]

i have a HP vp15s monitor ehich i have connected to a palit hd4850.... the maximum resolution i can use is only 1024*768.... but as per my monitor specifications it can support more than that... does any one knows where i can invrease my resolution/...??

If you buy a 19", then you can use 1280x1024.
Edit:-
I meant std size. For wide angle, it will be different.

HD 4850 and 15", **** pity on that HD4850
Get a 19" moonitor like VX1940 wich supports 1680x1050 res.

True. Coz for low res, you dont need the colossal power of HD4850 .

Thanks for the reply guys, I need more help, I will be asking for the quotes tmro, the budget is somewhere between 35K can go upto 40 K above that its a waste and I will go for a laptop. This is for office use and following applications will be used ( as stated before ).

Visual Studio 2005/2008
Adobe Products ( Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Flash etc )

I also be using Virtual machines so I need VT.

I am satisfied with E8400. On a average I will have minimum two instances of visual studio , one instance of PS and DW running, plus all three browsers (IE, FF, Opera) running. Will 2 GB be enough or should I get 3 GB , I dont think I will be using 64 Bit OS right now.

17" monitor will be enough.

And how much is Vista Business retail pack, will I get XP in the market?

Hello??? Any body home? , guys please give me a quick advice, waiting for one more hour

Yup, XP is still there. Vista Bussiness will be 3-5k. Dunno exactly. Can be more or less. 3GB RAM is recommanded if you are going to do multi-tasking.

Laptop?

DELL Inspiron Series is for you at 40k

 

[Psychosocial]

Inspiron 1525 beats all the competitors but a desktop would be better. Wouldnt it ?

 

[RCuber]

^^ Yes , I am in a fix laptop or desktop , Dell inspiron doesnot have a option to upgrade or change OS to Vista business. Vista Home doesnot have downgrade rights to XP, upgrading to Ultimate costs Rs. 8,366 which I am not interested in. I dont intend to use any pirated operating system.

^^Switch to OSS na. Its better than paying so much for Windows as you are not planning to game, or are you ?

lol,I cannot switch to OSS for office work , I am a .NET programmer, I use OSS only at home, not at work. Any way if things go worse then I have to stick to Home premium .

[comp@ddict]

Changes:
320GB @ 2.5k
Wich cabby? Zebronics Krish @ 1k is very good.
Better is Gigabyte G31 @ 3k
G33 an G31, is like banana and another banana.
Get 19" ViewSonic @ 8.5k

 

[harryneopotter]

@ Charan ...

The basic Difference B/W G31 and G33 is expansion slots ... If u can Do with 2 Ram slots, No firewire ... then u should opt for Gigabyte G31 Board for around 2.7k (it will provide Moderate OCing potential if u need in future...) Or if u really want to stick with G33 Chipset ... then go for Asus P5K VM .... Same as DG33 ..with added OC capability.
