The waiting never ends, when u will have E6600 arround the corner, u will find the prices of 6700 tempting. Besides, there is hardly any price cuts in C2D this year, if u can find one get it, cos most of the stock is for OEM PC Makers anyway
akshyat
Where did u get that, E6300 is allendale, it a normal Conroe with 4 MB L2 cache physical, but 2 MB disabled during packaging stage. Allendale is a complete different CPU which won't be relesed this year, think of them as Core 2 Duo celerons
If u can buy, & find, then go for C2D
Pathtics
read above the Intel GMA X3000 supports DirectX9c in hardware, that means Pixel & vertex shader 3.0, it is fully programable IGP, so it can be made SM 4.0 compatible in hardware with just a driver upgrade. However it is never meant to be a gaming IGP, it's just made to run Vista aero, Videos, etc at full quality, cos as i said, not everyone needs a graphics card, this is good enough for offices etc

first of all..get this clear the cheapest conroe will b priced ard 12-13k.................and also its board too will b ard 8-10k minimum......and why do u guys forget ram...........u need to get ddr2 rams.........ddr wont work......minimum ddr2 2 gb will push u by another 8k.........
the prices which i have mention are by doing usa rates conversion......and adding some profit......but yup this r all of the cheapest set rates........
also if u can get hand on c2d thats a big deal............dell and hp.....r trying get almost 90% of c2d...........so price of c2d reduction is less untill jan feb next year when quad core launches......
gx also your detail look right......repping u man.........
note::akshayt...way bak also u look to post incomplete info...dude get your stuff clear than post.........all dual core now release are c2d.......whose earlier name was given conroe.............also u can say c2d=pentium 5..........but nuthin sort of pent 5 goin to come........but it actually is p5

the cheapest conroe is $183, thats about Rs 9300+ taxes in India, now add the retailer profit to it, & it sure will be about 10.5k at start, & since C2D is not much available in retail this year, the prices won't come down anytime soon.
Infact, this is a good time to buy Athlon 64 3800+ X2, for Socket 939 & AM2, the prices are down too, & this CPU is now Rs 8.5k only, gives performance only 5% lower then E6300, it is an already proven architecture. All hail AMD price cuts
. couple it with a Asus A8N-VM/M2NPV-MX for AM2 motherboard, & u can get a vista premium ready, solid budget system at really good price, well within 14K, u can use normal DDR400 with ASUS A8N-VM or u can buy DDR2 for M2NPV-MX, ddr2 is costly, but since now, both Intel & AMD have made transection to DDR2 only, the prices will rapidly fall down
at start, D965SS will cost about 6.5-7k, due to low availability, but with time, & availability it will come down to 5k in 4 months only
Edit : just inquired, Another option is Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9-RH for Socket 939/GA-M51GM-S2G for AM2
My advice, if u have some more money to buy socket AM2 based system, in case u cannot find C2D then do so, buy socket 939, only if u r tight on budget

According to this discussion over here : *xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=107031 . e6300 is much better than 3800 AND more importantly ddr can be used with conroe!
How did you reach this conclusion? 183$ = Rs. 8500 , now they can't increase its price by 50%. If they do, they are soo evil.

Good news. Hope its price is reasonable.

hmm, ASrock motherboard looks nice value, they already have a good value oriented market in India, seems like another very good pair for E6300, cos DDR2 is not widely available anyway
Edit: I won't recomend this board at all, as it lacks vista premium certification (due to onboard graphics only), but a good choice anyway, u can vista standerd UI in it, & upgrade to a better gfx card later

stick to what u have, what do u intend to do with your PC? as i don't think 915 + P4 2.66 GHz is a bad combo. Which CPU is it? i suppose Pentium D
One thing, if u can get a good deal, in saling this P4 system of yours, then sure sale it, & get a 3800+ X2, if not then leave it, your current system is quite good already

if it's a lot of video encoding, then better get an Athlon 64 3800+X2, make sure u get the proper core, i don't remember which one exectly, venice maybe, cos SSE3 is something u should look for in it

Intel motherboards are known for their stability, not overclocking, however with the recent edition, intel provides little overclocking too, but still within the limits of saftey
For "set it & forgot it" use go for intel
remember that Asrock motherboard is not Vista premium certified, so better use that with a good graphics card if u plan to use vista
