hi guys,
i'm in the process of coming up with a config for a new pc and need help on deciding a motherboard............ i'm gonna be using the pc for some gaming, watchin' movies and general surfing................. although i'm no extreme gamer and cant afford any of those high-end stuff!!!!
so here's what i've come up with..............
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6320
Mobo: Intel DG965RY
Ram: 1GB DDR2
HDD: 250GB Samsung or Seagate
Graphics Card: thinking of not buying one right now and going directly for a DX10 card when they become affordable
now, here's where i need help
when digit reviewed 2 G965 bords in Nov-2006 they performed very badly and digit advised to rather buy a 945 board!!!..... but those boards were from Gigabyte and the one mentioned above is a Intel original board.... is it likely perform better???
also incase u guys advise me to go for a P965 board (like digit does), then please also suggest a P965 board within 6K and also an inexpensive 128-256 MB PCI-E Graphix card..... which i would use only as a stopgap until i can afford a DX10 card.......
last one......... are P965 boards available in Bangalore?????????
coz when i went to SP Road last week..... no one there seemed to have even heard of it........... all were showing me 945 boards and 1 guy mentioned the G965RY board!! so if anyone knows where i can get a P965 board in B'lore pleeeeeeezzz let me know
this job of finding a config is driving me crazy!! and since my old pc got hit by lightening i'm suffering without a pc for past 2-3 weeks!!!!
so guys please help!!!!!!!!!!
and thanks for the help............... much appreciated!!!!!
