If you are asking me, the person I got it for was adamant on an all Intel system with a C2D(the intel people sure know how to market their products) and its foolish to get a P4/early dual core.sagargv said:i dunno y people buy a C2D and a intel 965 mobo . . .can ne1 elaborate ? it doesnt allow OC , so wats the use of spending that much on a C2D ? does it have some cool features or something ( d956ry ) ?

The DG965RY has integrated soundcard, LAN and X3000 GMA, a good thing for a first computer.
Sure, an Asus would be good for ocing, but noobs haven't heard of it.
I bet SoftFSB/Clockgen or a similar utility will help the hapless Intel mobo users to get some contol over their processor.
Don't worry bout me, i'll get myself a quad with handpicked RAM, a deluxe Asus with SLI and 8800 GTX, and a 22" LCD when i have the booty.

And moderator, are we allowed to make comments about the shop where we bought our stuffs from?
Ok then. From what I heard about that particular xoom shop in SP road in Bangalore, I tried there first and was told a price of 11900. But good that I tried getting the priced confirmed from some other shops, I came to know there is only one shop nearby whos deals with sapphire cards and these buggers get it from him and with a hefty margin. Anyway I got the card for 10.6k from that shop then.Kniwor said:you are actually expected to post such details to help fellow members decide.

So I would like to advice people not to go to xoom, since I have seen quite a posts refering people to that place.
