AMD 2800+ and Asus K8V mobo
Hi All,
I have decided AMD 2800+ and Asus K8V mobo or I should go with the MSI K8MM mobo. OR I should go with P4 2.66 64 bit and Asus P5GLMX mobo. Cost for both are almost same so can anyone help me in taking decision with this configuration also will like to know that onboard vidoe of all this mobo are quite sufficent or not for normal gaming.

dont go for p4-64bit as performance is horrible compare to AMD
take at least AMD 3000+ with this msi mobo with great onboard graphics

but if you are looking for virtual PC and something i will advice to get Intel p4 with HT.
dont go for prescot core non HT.

Kunhar ATX Cabinet with 400 Watts SMPS (Rs. 2,200)
A decent looking cabinet with adequate power is all you need for your gaming PC. But it is always good to have that bit of headroom, in this case, those extra Watts of power in reserve. Hence, we chose to go for a 400 Watts SMPS from PowerSafe (three-year warranty) along with a VIP professional cabinet. The total cost would range between Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 2,200 depending on the choice of cabinet.
Logitech Spill-resistant Standard Keyboard (Rs. 300)
A sturdy and ergonomic keyboard is all you need for hours of action gaming. The Logitech spill-resistant keyboard is just that and is also designed to let liquids go through in case of accidental spills.
Mouse: Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical (Rs. 800)
This optical mouse is a gamer's delight. It is extremely light and ergonomic and with its highly sensitive optical sensor, you can bid farewell to tracking off (skipping). Note the name again - Wheel Mouse Optical and not Basic optical mouse. Now head shots are just a click away.
Modem: 56 Kbps Internal Modem (Rs. 400)
If you plan to surf the Internet on a dial-up connection, you will need a modem. So buy one. Else skip it as the motherboard has 10/100 Mbps LAN onboard anyways if you plan to install cable/broadband Internet.

Kunhar ATX Cabinet with 300 Watts SMPS (Rs 1,100)
A decent looking, well-ventilated cabinet with 300 Watts of power is all you need, to hold your components together. And since we aren't looking at too many power-hungry components, 300 Watts should be adequate power. However, if your peripheral count goes up, change your SMPS to one with more power.
Logitech Spill-resistant Standard Keyboard (Rs 300)
A sturdy and ergonomic keyboard is all you need for those long PC sessions. The Logitech spill-resistant keyboard is just that and is also designed to let liquids go through in case of accidental spills.
Samsung Optical Mouse (Rs 350)
Add a simple, basic optical mouse that works on all non-reflective/transparent surfaces. Do I need to say more?
Also, add an internal modem if your area isn't graced with the so-called broadband Internet. Else skip it. A dying commodity for sure and not one that I would recommend.

i too faced same problem while upgrading 9.0b to 9.0c.
i tried web update, and direct x uninstaller and many things but no use..
If you upgrade your PC to winxp SP2 the you will get 9.0c automatically.
if you want to have sp1 then please do fresh installation with any old CD and directly install 9.0c ( from 8.1 to 9.0c no problem)
Prajit - please let us know more about you..
are you from pune?
anyway welcome in pune techie group...

I want to buy mp3 player(atleast 256 MB).
yesterday i searched the whole laxmi road, but could not find a decent electronics stuff shop.On MG road there were just two shops.
So there are not many options for me.
Can anybody tell me where to go exactly for getting a decent mp3 player.
I have a budget of 2k-3k. I can manage with local chinese ones (if there is some guarentee, which i cud not find
) or atleast someone assures me that these chinese ones can be repaired in pune or India.
