    AMD64 3000+ VENICE -> 5700/-
    ASUS A8N-E (no onboard video)-> 5600/-
    ASUS A8N-VM(onboard video)->5650/- approx.(pls check) TO SEE DETAILS: http://www.pcstats.com/artvnl.cfm?articleID=1898
    Go for 512mb ram DDR400 or 1GB if possible.

    If u want a good gfx card then go for leadtek 6600gt 128mb pci-e. Price around 8500-9000/-.

    By the way A8N-VM has good onboard gfx. But if u don't want onboard gfx then go for A8N-E (will give u excellent performance and value for money).

    the onboard video of the mobo's suggested will match the 5200
    so better go fo the PCIe boards
    everythin else looks fine

    hey vijay [it rhymed] , a couple of questions i wanted to ask...

    1. Does the onboard graphics adapter support OpenGL or is it preferable to go for a PCIe.....
    2. If I stretch my budget, is possible to go for a new comp config in 25 - 30 GR    .

    Thanx a billion for the advice!!! :)

    Yes the onboard gfx of A8N-VM (Geforce 6100/6150) supports OPENGL.

    You can certainly use ur existing components.
    Just buy the new mobo(A8N-E/A8N-VM), RAM and PROCESSOR. Why buy a all new computer? U could upgrade whenever u want.
    I would suggest that if u are willing to spend 25-30K then buy:
    AMD64 3500+ ->11000/-
    A8N-E/A8N-VM->5600/-
    6800GS ->14500/-
    Total = 31100/- this is just a suggestion. But this upgrade would be rocking.

    For further details regarding config and price see this thread by digitized: http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32509&start=0

    3500+ is not worth the cost difference....
    3200+ is logcal choice...



    my suggesion here..


    AMD Athlon 64 3200+ -------------------------- 8000
    ASUS A8N-VM ----------------------------------- 4500
    2*512Mb Corasir value select 2.5 CL----------- 5000

    total Rs. 17500/- ..... this is the BEST u can get
    If the budget is strict 16000 then get 2x512 Hynix which will be around 4000 so tatal is... Rs. 16500/-


    and u will not deed ut graphics card this motherboard has good integrated graphics and a PCI-E slot so that u can get a PCI-E graphics card later and upgrade...

    corsair is the top of the notch brand

    transcend & kingston follow
    make sure u make it 2*512, to get the dual channel advantage

    yes u can upgrade to those processors as long as socket 939 is around....

    3200+ is logical choice if u r not getting 3000+.....
    it is 3500+ which does not justify the price. Go for 3200+.
