let me try and settle this, there are motherboard in market (like ASUS K8S-MX )
for which integrating the SATA drivers for windows does not work somehow, so u need a fdd to install winXP everytime u reinstall....
hardly anyone used FDisk for data transfer so that is not a point, but there are times when u need one, u might just loose ur CD in which u integrated ur drivers... what of an emergency hadd wipe, an emergency boot, emergency admin pass recovery...
and when u are buying a comp of 35000 there is no point in saving Rs. 250 by not getting an fdd,
U can obviously do everything without an FDD, but all the pain is not worth 250/-


either u guys never reinstall, or do anything with ur comp that u dont need an FDD, or u guys are extra-smart to avoid FDD at every single point u need it...

I will not agree with wizrulz about the AGP Graphics card as the NVidia just launched the 7800GS for the AGP8X

Do not buy a Samsung CD-ROM Drive (52X)...I bought one years ago and it went bust after two years only.

By contrast the HP-CD Writer that I bought has been working like a champ for the last four years.

Age of Empires 3 is a really nice game with wonderful graphics..... i think ur config cannot play it properly... get a good graphics card to play it...

PATA and SATA right now are almost equally fast... so if ur dealer quotes a big difference u can get it

i have a plain 6600

i did not like some the aoe3 graphics like the horse models...the proportion of the size of unitd\s to buldings is wrong....all the units are too big...anyways there is always a difference of opinion

my favourite game is swkotor

-do not buy hp rewritable cds...they are just relabled moserbaer..and the cost is higher than moserbaer

-do not buy lg 17" monitors...they are very bulky..go for samsung

-do not buy mechanical mice

-do not buy plain cdrom drives...they are a thing of the past

-do not refill cartriges more than twice...they may leak into the printer
