Hello guys
Iam back to square one. Intel Mobo has no 100% SOLID polymer capacitors for long life.
I got this alternative ASUS p5k-vm at 5.1k,100% solid,8gbram,onboard graphics,
linux compatible,1 pci-ex16 slot. in addition 2 pci,1 pci-e x 4(not 1). microATX.
can i go with this one? any major cons for this? plz give ur suggestions.

Hey frnds
i checked XFX 630i and P5kpl cm/vm . they are good buy with onboard video. but they support only 4GB. bt i wnt whch supprts 8 GB.i found out this one....ASUS P5QL-EM - motherboard - micro ATX - iG43.....whch has onboard video n also supprts 8GB RAM....pls check this mobo n if it is gud fr E7200....pls give ur opinion....it is little expensive...around 4k-5k....
Hi naveen
,I didn't know Asus G45/43 based mobos were available in india.Are u sure Asus p5QL-EM costs between 4-5k?.Can u be a bit more specific,where did u get that price from?.And if u can get ur hands on a Asus G43 mobo under 5k,then look no further,go for it.Its ur best option.u are right there but intel mobos are simply stable ..they won't give u any problem with capacitors ..the capacitors are good enough ...how long u are going to use the system anyway ...3 years ??? and intel gives 3 years warranty ...in three years with all probability, DDR2 and LG775 socket would have become obsolute ...i have never seen any intel mobo going kaput due to a capacitor ...so i guess there is no problem there ....
i would not recommend ASUS P5k-VM ..its G33 chipset mobo ..offers nothing ..doesn't have PCI ex 2.0 ...in evey way i find intel G45(P45 +gfx)chipset mobo ideal for u ....if i had to buy a mobo and i m not going for overclocking i would go for intel anyday ....u can't get anything more stable than them ....
don't just look for capacitor now ...look for chipset too ....

Thank u for ur advice.before making choice plz tell me in what way g45 is better than g33. and i will use this system for more than 4 yrs. may not i but my sister will use it at my home.thats why i wanted system to have long life. u also plz tell me abt pci-e 2.o and its importance.
intel mobo has no port fr my old pata hdd n also costs 1.5k higher...tht money i can on some other component this is my thinking

G33 has ICH9 controller hub and G45 has ICH10 controller hub ..there are few more architectural difference which are minor ... G45 will give u improved performance of about 7-10% ..and PCIe 2.0 is version 2 of PCIex for graphics it might improve graphics performance by 5~7% percent may be ...
since u are not going to use any gfxcard ... that performance is irrelevant ..but all the gfx card available in market are PCIe 2.0 compliant ..which will work fine on PCIex 1.1 which g33 has albeit with little bit lower performance ...
the only striking feature of G45 is its onboard gfx capability it has GMA X4500 ..which can let u run HD movies without any gfx card ...performance wouldn't be awesome but it will some good jobs ..if u would want to use average autocad stuff and some games it will handle it quite nicely again without the help of gfx card ..which u might need in G33...
but again considering G33 based chipset board costs less ..u can put a gfx card later by saving on that money and that will be better than G45 onboard gfx anyday ...
looking at ur constraints ...i have a change of mind and i think u should go for P5K-VM ...@5.1k
its gives u flexibility of overclocking,better capacitor and costs less gives u alright performace ..gives u linux 64 bit support ..
there is also a catch with G45 chipset i saw it somewhere that it doesn't support IDE or PATA ...so P5k-vm is ur choice ....
actually its PCIex 2.0 ...

Lets Do It!
Even a decent CPU would do that.
If the CPU is powerful enough ... There is no need of any gfx card/onboard.
As given there it is pci-e 2.0. as far as i can see in intel website it is given as pci e x 16.Anyway i want to buy now itself PSU which suffice future gfx card wattage need.is Antec company good for PSU? Plz give comments abt this config

Does the CM PSU above support UATX P5K-VM board? i dont know much abt form factors. Any other suggestions abt components.

I saw before p35A.But no linux compatability.After reading reviews of CorsairVX 450
i tend to choose it.I think in the long run it may save extra 1100 i spend now. is Zebronics cabinet OK? or any other one u suggest. is the DVD writer in the list also reads & writes CD?
