Thanks acewin , its most likely to be between XFX 630i & P5GC MX if i don't get any other mobo .

wud it cause any probs if i overclock the FSB . Coz i will be keeping the proccy for a really long time .

you really shouldnt have done that for the gf.

The Asus mobo is OC mobo so you can do that, but then it has 610i chipset. So as per my suggestion it would not be worth to OC when you are already getting better stable 630i mobos without OCing in same price. I would say get the Palit mobo. You would be just paying extra for no benefit.

Man, get a good Onboard solution; what do you want? you want to play games that were released till 2006, isnt it? Just put all your money on a motherboard which has a good onboard. i think you can find a Zotac GF8200 or something like that. Later you wont have to upgrade your mobo, just adding a GFX card will do, got it?

Naah we have been doing that for a while now . this month i went a little overboard with my purchases the Open Moko Neo Runner . & the Asus 901 EEEPc. And also the PC components . So no money for mobo . for GFX was looking at Sapphire HD 3470 256MB DDR3 or Asus HD 3450 256 MB DDR2 anyways (never wud have paid any penny more than 2500 for GFX) no 8400's or 8600's for me (too old) . .

XFX wud be fine but it wud have made no sense for buying the 6xx series mobo ( no dual channel RAM ) if not for the CREDIT CRUNCH. Single channel wud make no difference but still .....

I wud be buying monday evening . Not sure if XFX is available as no service by XFX folks here at my place. Will check out and let you know .

UPDATE :: XFX 630i is not available its a HIGH END mobo they say as its a NVidia Chipset . it will take time after ordering. Also Palit is not available . Should i order the Palit N73PV online . Palit has mixed reviews on the net and it basically caters to the entry level . What about their after sales service.

Also Sapphire HD 3470 is not available anywhere in the country so i wud be buying a Asus EAH3450 256MB look here *www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=8&l3=634&l4=0&model=2051&modelmenu=2 or a 128 MB DDR3 with a higher clock *www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=2&l2=8&l3=634&l4=0&model=2061&modelmenu=2

The Zotac one would do just fine...

But I stay with my previous opinion; get a goo onboard solution capable of playing HD smoothly; Trust me; you'll be getting a good mobo as well as wont have to sell anything next time you buy a GFX card. :)

My config would be

1)Phenom X3 8450 for 5.5k
2) Gigabyte 780G mobo for 4.5k
3) 2Gb ddr2 800 ram for 1.8k
4) 400 GB HDD Seagate--3150
5) Liteon 20X DVD RW drive--2150
6) Iball Cabinet stock 400W SMPS --1200
7) HD 3850 for 8k or HD4850 for 10k
This config will run most of the games at low settting and run Vista without any hiccup, thanks to the Dx10 onboard GPU.

low settings...then adding HD4850 wud run @ high settings am i ryt ??:rolleyes:

X3 has 3 cores so...will it really give performance boost in high-end games such as
crysis...:confused:..as compared 2 intel C2D

@ Iron man :: The Zotac GF 8200 is for AMD platform .

XFX 630i is a no go . It's not available here plus the review by oc club said the mobo was just okay. And has 2 yrs warranty as compared to min 3 years by every other manufacturer.

HD 3450 bought @ 2000 although not actually delivered pending the arrival of XFX 630i within 4 days.. . very less chance though

Plzz any other board with good IGP please tell . Going out to market again now .

As regards Open Moko i think that u shud wait till september-december for a stable fware to be out plus the price will go down (diwali). So far im loving it very fast, good connectivity wifi , touchscreens responsive but i love tchscreen phones anyway.
A little expensive at 20000 but worth the price if u r into modding . Will try & post a review after i assemble the comp.

Never mind; my agent will talk to you for the legal formalities. Copyright Infringement; you know... ;) . But, we can settle that between ourselves, 100,000 USD for the moment please. :D

@mehra.rakesh
20,000 is kinda expensive for an Open-Source Phone, though as they are starters and as you can do almost anything with it; it's okay, but then again its on higher side. How's signal reception and calling? After all; thats what a cellphone is made for. :)

I cancelled the order for XFX 630i & bought the Asus HD 3450 256MB for 2100 Rs.

So , i have decided on buying the 630i based board either its the Zotac N73PV/PU 7150... the Zotac one seems too good with Firewire + Raid + """ Specially 5 years warranty """ <<--- that's the real deal sweetener . That too for less than 3000 . There are too models N73PU/PV . The PUone has HDMI & SPDIF while PV one doesn't have rest are same .

Also i have kept choices open for XFX 630i & Palit N73PV.

Again Thanks for helping guys ....

Yeah & its inexpensive too . So zotac shud be the final choice .

How's the build quality of Zotac , it shud IMO be good considering they are giving 5 yrs warranty .

Anyone has any experience of it .

Yus, Zotac and Palit both are comparatively good. Zotac is a new player in the Indian markets while Palit has been around for quite a while. That dosent mean Zotac performs bad. Its a very good company with top-of-th-lot product line. You cant go wrong with either of them. And the chipset (NVIDIA 630) is really a good budget solution. All in all, buy any one of it. I recommand Zotac due to some personal reasons and taking the point that Palit's customer service is a little off the mark in consideration.

Crysis is comparatively old and was optimised more for the C2D flatform (more frequency :) ). But newer games are being optimised for the multi-cores as well as the C2Ds so you will surely get a performance boost.
