Hi !
I am planning to buy a new computer ..... the following is my proposed configuration :-
Intel Pentium 2.4 Ghz-
Intel D865GBF Motherboard
GeForce FX 5200 - 128 MB
512 MB DDR RAM (400mhZ)
HDD : 120 GB Seagate - 7200 RPM
SoundCard :Creative Soundblaster 5.1 DE
DVD ROM : Benq DVP - 1648A
CD - RW : ASUS 4816A
Monitor : LG Studioworks 17" (700S)
Speakers: Artis 5880 - 4.1
Keyboard and mouse : Logitech
As u can see i am very budget conscious and i have chosen value for money products.
The problem is , I asked my vendor for the above configuration ....
and he says that he has the Pentium 4 Prescott 2.4Ghz and that D865GBF motherboard does not support 2.4ghz PRESCOTT.... whereas "Intel pentium 4 2.4Ghz HT" supports the D865GBF whose production has now stopped.......... he also says that there are no motherboards for PRESCOTT 2.4 which support AGP 8x..... and hence he is suggesting me to buy 3 Ghz with the D865GBF (which supports AGP 8x) .... but is more expensive.....
Is it true that the D865GBF chipset does not support PRESCOTT ?? If so , can someone suggest a good motherboard(Value for money) for the PRESCOTT 2.4ghz which supports AGP 8x ??
also , what is the differrence between prescott , northwood and HT ??
Help in any way would be greatly appreciated ,
thanks,
Vishal
