Correct me if I am wrong but do intel chipset mobos overclock much better than any other chipsets from board manufacturers like ASUS,XFX,MSI or Abit.Or is it that Abit mobos overclock to a large extent.
Didnt quite get your question there Harvik.

ok..will it be a good decision to for e2140 & xfx 630i right now and later upgrade with q6600 or better...

or should i wait till quad proc price to come down..what would be your advice..

also what would be the max overclocking that can be done with e2140 without adding any extra coolers...

+ i have planned to add artic mx-2 thermal compound...

I would sincerely say you should steer away from 630i based boards for now.G45 is gonna be out very soon, you can get Gigabyte board based on that chipset if you want onboard video capability.

How Long How long :lol:, I mean we are not going to get G45 based boards not uptill April or may of 2008, even if we get a world wide release :p and i guess 630i (MCP73) would be replaced with MCP7A (-U / -H / -A) to counter the G45 :D

anyway,

Well if you are not borne with a gold spoon in ur mouth then some advice for u, and all those who are facing problem in making a decision...

Dont buy a computer, as you just for the sake of buying... Buy a computer when you are in need for a computer, this goes for every product u buy...

Spend the money only when you feel the need for it... As you may wait, but there wont be any ending of waiting... As soon as you get Intel 45 nm main stream processors, the 32 nm would be out there as Extreme range and u may hear news in just next 6 to 8 month 32 nm would become main stream :lol:...

so there wont be any end of waiting... thats why, buy a system right now, if you have need for the system... If you can wait then wait but dont wait to get a better processor or a better mobo thinking in next 4 month that would be a real nice deal, as after that 4 month, u may see another good deal just 2 month from then and so on and on and on and on...

Hope u get my point... :)

Hi
I surveyed the market today..the dealer has no idea about both 650i & 630i chipset mobos and told that they are not in their stock atleast here in chennai

that left me with next option p35 chipset mobo...is it doing good?...i suppose i can get biostar TP35D2-A7 for around 4k....

i do lot of video encoding...thats why i intend to upgrade my pc..also willing to spend 10k for mobo+proc+ram+cabi

^^

ABiT IP35-E would be a good option too as replacement for nvidia 650i ultra though I guess its Rs. 5200/- + TAX compare with Rs. 4600/- + TAX of 650i ultra :p
 
Well, I suppose there could always be a better board in its way towards us... If it supported dual channel and an additional two ram slots, for around Rs. 600/- more, I would have seriously gone for it.

P35 chipest is brilliant but dat Biostar's mobo is not dat brilliant...:rolleyes:.....poor built quality to support 1333MHz FSB procs
i never said the board is 'GREAT' but it is the cheapest P35 based board available out there.And frankly Biostar T Series board are not that bad.
Also what exactly do you mean by 'Poor build quality to support 1333 FSB processors' ? :?

^^I mean they heats up, no active cooling.....and not gud for OC.


finally am able to locate this card...it retails around 4.6k...

I still didnt buy this card..bcoz i want to get some opinions from you guyz..

so tell me will this be my best bet if i couple this board with E2140(overclocked)..

& reg overclocking..site stats show that its nt that bad for overclking

Heats up ??? Passive cooling is an indication of bad build quality ? Since when ? :confused:

Its a value solution but clocks decently so please dont make statements just for the heck of it. ;)

@ axxo, if you can stretch your budget a bit, get the Abit IP35-E, excellent P25 board from Abit.You wont go wrong with it.Clocks exeptionally well too :)
