Thanks @GxGuarav.
i've made up my mind, i'm buying a GMA X3000 based m/b (DG965RY or DG965WH). as the Intel Processor prices are going to come down (by $200 avg. :shock: ), i'll buy it later.

so right now i've to spend only around $130. :D for the m/b.

which would be better model DG965RY or DG965WH ??? :confused: (both support P4 & have gma x3000).
__________
can you guys suggest me a latest 1GB RAM ($100). for the Intel DG965RY/WH m/b model. :)

For 1 GB RAM, go into your local computer market & check the brands available, then note down the name of the chips used in the RAM if possible, & check online weather it has some compatibility problems

DG965RY is the motherboard i would recomend, cos although u get 8.1 channel audio in DG965WH but don't go for it & pay the extra money if u don't need 8.1 channel audio

how about Transcend or Hynix, (hynix is pretty expensive).

the local vendors here are not having these brands & in 667MHz & 800MHz. they want me to wait till new year. but i cant as my friend is coming here on 27th this month.

btw, which brand of m/b shall i buy.

intel DG965RY classic board will be a match for E6300 (C2D,1.86GHz).
GMA 3000 on this board is a nice option to play games with medium settings.
I can play:
1) NFS Most Wanted (15-20 FPS, at 1034x768, almost max settings)
2) FEAR (15-30,800x600,medium settings, shadows off )
3) AOE 3 (1024x768, MAX settings, 25-30fps).

I wasnt able to play:
1) NFS Carbon (it gives some error and returns to desktop).
2) Devil May Cry (gives error and comes to desktop).

Overall GMA 3000 is a nice core. I can even play HD videos without lagging audio.
Even perpixel effect in windowsblind can be used without any significant load.

intel DG965RY is the one if u want stability but if u are an overclocker then better go for Asus or Gigabyte.

My Rig:
E6300, intel DG965RY, 1Gb Transcend 533MHz, 440W PSU etc

hey @T159 thank man, for the quick Review on games+gma x3000,
i've told my friend to get this model only (DG965RY).
btw i'm not overclocker :D, & seeing those NFS Carbon reviews, i'm not planning to play Cabron :D or Carbon right now. :)

i just want my PC to be a little bit future proof, Faster & yes the Coolest Around the Block :D
