i stay in mumbai and i want to buy a motherboard,processar and ram.
i am aiming at
PROCESSER: "core2duo" 3Ghz ( partricularly above 2.4Ghz)
MOTHERBOARD: in MEDIA series
DG965OT, DG965MQ, DG965WH, DG965RY
RAM: DDRII 512MB
(is 667Mhz or 800Mhz avaliable in mumbai?
or else i should go for 533Mhz )
my budget is upto Rs.16,500
maan there is no core2duo procy above 3 ghz .....look at this this is frm intel'site:
E6700 4 MB L2 2.66 GHz 1066 MHz
E6600 4 MB L2 2.40 GHz 1066 MHz
E6400 2 MB L2 2.13 GHz 1066 MHz
E6300 2 MB L2 1.86 GHz 1066 MHz
and please dont think about clock speeds here.an amd athlon64 3000+ coupled with even a 7300gs(one of my friend has) that runs 1.8ghz on stock speeds can on anyday beat p4 @2.8ghz with onboard gfx card...(my other frnd has)......
coming back to ur point there is no way that a p4 at even 3.2 ghz can match an allendale(core2duo) at 1.86ghz.and my opinion ..never go for p4..they run very hot....and in ur budget 16.5k this is what u can get :
1.e6300 + msip965 neo
2.e6400 + gigabyte GA-8I945PL-S3 .....look at the thread started by koolkapoor..great graphics+ok proccy or ok graphics+great processor ..u will get help there....
i still dont no the diff between a 945 chipset and a 965 but i pmed koolkapoor and he told me that he was able to overclock his e6400 @2.4 frm that mobo..i dont know bout msi's overclockability...pple help me here too....if u want 3 ghz ..u can overclock..even e6300 will go there..but not with mobos in ur budget(my budget is same too and i am telling u of what i'm thinking of buying).....
as with ram yes,667 and 800 are not available freely.....go with 533...u can get corsair memory with d9 chips..and go for atleast 2*512 in dual channels...512 will not work that good..and besides even vista occupies 500mb of ram...so no free ram there.... 2*512 or 1gb ram ddr2 533/667 will cost around 5k...
ya i just hate intel mobos so i dont know much about them....
