I am planning to get a new gaming machine...........
I have decided upon core 2 duo e6850 and xfx 8800gt but i can't decide a motherboard.....
can anyone of u suggest a good one within 10-12k..
wud it be better to go for P35 or Nvidia 680i?

P35 is far better than nVidia 680...get ABIT P35 pro (costs around 9k)

hello guys, i hear the price of 250Gb SATA2 Seagate is around 3k in India. Does anyone know the price in Dubai?

I am buying a digi cam from there (difference of around Rs3500). So thought of buying a HDD from there as well!

Whats the cost of 250Gb SATA2 WD,Samsung(Spinpoint) models ?

Also, my present system doesnt have a sata slot. will buying a PCI SATA adapter solve the problem temporarily ?(else buying hdd sata would be futile). whats its price ?

PLZ respond as soon as possible.

250 GB Seagate costs 2600/- in Kerala.
Samsung is 50/- more.
250 WD is cheaper than Seagate for sure.
Its better to get the HDD from here as the warranty wud be easier, as it has to run for long 5 yrs in warranty.
PCI sata cards support sata 1 only. nyways sata2 HDDs are backward compatible withsata1 ports. There is a jumper seting on HDD to change it to sata1.

Thnx for the valuable advice.
U mean, if anything happens to my hdd in India, its warranty repairs will be valid in UAE alone ?
Also, whats the cost of a SATA PCI adapter (any brand) ?

Does all SATA 2 hdd have that jumper u mentioned. will there be a considerable performance bottleneck ?

Is the Samsung Spinpoint 320Gb available for Rs.4k ?

^^^^^^^^^
there is no jumper setting for SATA type hard disk.To need to do setting in BIOS to make any hard disk master or slave.

But the issue was not of master and slave but SATA I (1.5GBps) and SATA II (3GBps).

all sta HDDs has that jumper seting.
And the performance difference is negligible coz the real data transfer speed of a HDD will me some 60~70MBps max and 150MBps sataI is enuf for it.
But sataII 300MBps ensures that no bottleneck at some burst read or writes which is much higher speed than normal sequential reads.

ATi needs to put the new cards in range of Rs. 6000 to Rs. 9000 to gain a respectable share in India. No ATi card is below 10K and for same value nVidia offers a better card. Thats the history so far.
