what's the maximum speed of Speed of IDE?
133MBps
assuming you buy a 20x DVD Writer and plan to Burn DVDs at 20x
now, in case you don't know, Optical Drives have a warm up time (like printers, only much slower) when you pop the Disk to burn it, it starts at 2x, then 5x, then 5.6x and goes until it reaches it's maximum specified speed. however, this always happens in the end, so even though you're theoretically writing at 20x, you only truly achieve the speed near the end.
why SATA Isn't better than IDE?
well, when you're writing DVDs at 20x, you're burning them at 27.73MBps or 27,050.79 KBps. see you're not even near the speed of IDE (133MBps), forget about SATA (150MBps). well what about CDs? CD reading/writing speed can't be measured the same way as DVDs. in CD reading/writing, "X" equals 150KBps, so you multiply the given number with "X". example: if the CD writer writes CDs at 52x. then it would be: 52 x 150 = 7800KBps or 7.8MBps. you see, neither CDs or DVDs need the bandwidth offered by SATA Drives. of course, i am not saying SATA Drives are worthless, newer motherboards have dropped support for IDE drives, take ASUS P5B Deluxe for example, the mobo has only one IDE port and it's controlled by JMicron IDE Controller, which has POS Drivers and is practically useless unless you manually install "Standard Dual Channel IDE Controller" via Device Manager. the point i am trying to make is that, SATA isn't inferior, but Neither CDs or DVDs will use the bandwidth advantage offered by the standard anytime soon, so unless you're forced by a motherboard limitation to buy a SATA Drive, there's no reason to buy one. as far as Slim Cables go, you can always get rounded IDE Cables which cost less than Rs.100, or you can just buy cable wrapping kit from Vantec or Antec or CoolerMaster and sleeve them yourself.

XFX 8600GT = 8k
in my knowledge, Zebronics haven't launched 8600GT yet. i may very well be wrong.
praka123 said:wat will be my best option to buy a xfx 7300GT 256 MB RAM card?can i directly buy from rashi peripherals Kochi(ernakulam) depot?or..Madras Guys how about the service of *theitdepot.com ?.what about gurantee/warranty?some Kochin sellers online here
as far as i know, unless you send Distributors Check/DD they don't let you buy directly from them. eitherway, you will get it cheapest from them since you would be avoiding any middle man costs. TheITDepot.com's support, dunno much but they sell at pretty high rates, some people at TechEnclave have bought from them (i think) try asking there

i think both are same model but if they charge more don't with the SLI model.
8600 GT IS DX 10 card with SM 4.0 unlike 7600 GT'S SM 3.0, has more clock speed then 7600 GT , so all in all its faster than the 7600 GT & yeah you can play NFS on both of them.xsreality said:
