Hey guys,
I've gott anew comp and my conf is asd follows:
AMD Sempron 2500+ (palermo core) @ 1.41 Ghz
ASRock K8NF4-SATA2 (nForce4 410 chipset, the newer nForce4)
I swear by this motherboard for its performance,
its got 2 SATA II slots, 1 PCI e x16, 4 USB 2.0 slots + 4 headers, and now comes the greatest part - GeForce 6100 Onboard graphics (which is the integrated version of the GeForce 6200) with Pixel shader 3.0 and true directx 9.0c support. The only concern is the 754 socket support, but if u're not gonna change the processor for some time from now, that wouldn't matter.
And all this for just around Rs.5k is a kill.
The Sempron even has all these instruction sets supprted: x86, x86-64, SSE, SSE2, SSE3.
Above 1 Ghz any processor would do but you will see the difference only while running raw processing power requiring apps such as watching a HD video or say compressing a huge file or playing a very Mhz intensive game.
But for most apps my pro would do.
And nvidia ae renowned for their quality and this is proved by my mobo with really goes as they say - "Graphics to Drench your senses".
