Thats what .. i'm not aware of the prices correctly but i can suggest this :

AMD Athlon64 X2 3600+
Asus M2N-E
2*512 MB DDR533
XFX 7300GT 256 MB

It should roughly fall just under 18k's ... possible runtime without upgrade ... hmmm .. that depends on what u do ..

The CPU should run till the end of 2008 .. RAM need to increased to 2 GB atleast .. mobo will be fine unless ofcourse u wanna go SLi .. and the card will do fine just for a MCP .. if ur a bit into gaming then u need to get a midrange dx10 GPU when they are launched ..

I don't think that games will get enough focus on PC. Gaming consoles will take place of PC games in near future and I think we only need those powerful CPUs and GPUs only for the OS itself which are becoming more & more resource hungry. Well the concept of cool new interfaces of future OSs are really good. That kind of interface really can make the difference. In future High Definition contents need more CPU power than today I think. If prices of consoles fall to affordable level (which i think will surely happen), then everyone here, I think, buy a console instead of upgrading their PC. What do u think guys...

if its new pc then - core 2 duo ...

if u already have single core proci like p 4 or athlon 64 then wait .. till dual core becomes very cheap and quad core becomes available by plenty .. maybe in next year same time ..

also ..it all depends on u .. if ur satisfied with ur setup then no need to upgrade regularly ..

i am happy with my p4 3.2 ghz ..

also if ur buying set up with planning to upgrade then go for a very good mobo ..with quad core support .. like intel 965p or 975x or nvidia 680i chipset mobos ..

Everybody suggests that buy a cor2duo. But atleast read how much budget a person is having. In this case a person is having 18 k budget max.... so try fitting a core2duo, a descent mobo , 1 gb of ddr2 ram in it...............

WOW... are you?
I think it all boils down to the fact "Buy for your NEED... not for the GREED" :D
If your need is satisfied by P4 HT, then hail to that very CPU.


It's always funny to leaf thru the pages of old "Archive" magazine like "DIGIT" for instance :D

You'll see that the Proccy you have now (and think is an old hag) was a STUD just a few months ago... he he he

Thats true with these new technos evolving so fast. U can never have a completely updated PC w/o throwing off loads n loads of cash
