Urgent Help on RAM

[thetechfreak]

and what about HD movie playback on HD 2000 vs 3000

They should be pretty similar on HD playback.

also games like CS or HL2

They will work fine. JUst dont increase the res to max. and everything should be fine. Dont expect to play too hi-fi games without GPU

Also, i know both HD 2000 and 3000 sucks at gaming.still which one is better ?

According to your mobo, you better get i5-2500 @10.2k...but you say you'll buy P67 later...

obviously 3000 is better than 2000 but both suck in general gaming-wise
...movie playback don't worry....both are designed to play HD movies ...

cs2 and hl will run great...these are old...

hmmm thanks...so if 3 years down the line i5-2400 is not going to be a bottle neck them m getting i5-2400 from Prime ABGB as shipping is free + I am from mumbai.

what you say ?

i5-2500 frm SMC will cost me , 10250+300 shipping = 10,500 approx.

Mentioned about P67 , just in-case after 3 years this i5-2400 is not worth for gaming.

Get i5 2500 .... its only 700 bucks more than i5 2400...

HD3000 is definately better than HD2000...3000 can match entry level discrete gpus..

@op, when are you getting gpu btw?

 

[noob]

in next 2 months max.

 

[bhushan2k]

then in my opinion, u should get i5 2500k (HD3000) and intel h61 mobo in 3.5k..later on u can change it to p67 or z68 mobo for overclocking and other featured benefits and a gpu..but u will have to stick on vga port of h61 for 2 months as it has no dvi and hdmi + only 2 DIMMs..so cheap..but z68 will fulfill ur dreams..when u will have z68, u will also have k proccy in ur hand..

 

[noob]

H61 is not in mumbai. I have purchased H67 mobo already.

1 More question. These days , how do we connect HDD wires to mobo ?

cauz as i remember , 3 years back ,we used to connect 2 cables to HDD, one was power supply and other one was a cable from HDD to MOBO

at HDD end , we used to make sure that RED color of both cables face each other.

this way we are sure that power supply to HDD is not reversely connect.
