Thats ok dude, but u need a PCI-E 2.0 compatible board for this baby! These boards are quite expensive. Better to take a mid range pc and upgrade to AMD phenom and a pci-e 2.0 mother board after a year. By then we should hopefully see DDR 3 on AMD platforms too.

^^Are you sure about that?
I thought these PCI-E 2.0 cards could run on the older PCI-E slots... :confused:

I am absolutely certain. They aint backward compatible as they offer twicw as much bandwith compared to the current PCI-E 1.1.

The foll was on the Nvidia website at *www.nvidia.com/page/pci_express.html

While NVIDIA's PCI Express 1.1 solutions deliver a high level of computer performance surpassing AGP and PCI buses, NVIDIA leads the industry in developing cutting-edge high speed interfaces like PCI Express 2.0. NVIDIA’s PCI Express 2.0 solutions double the bandwidth of the existing PCI Express bus enabling NVIDIA’s Desktop, Mobile and Professional products to deliver faster graphics and enhanced system performance for every type of computer user. NVIDIA is pleased to introduce in October 2007, the world's first PCIe Gen2 Graphics Card, the GeForce 8800 GT.

Along with higher performance, NVIDIA's PCI Express 2.0 solutions support Advanced Power Management features, leading the industry to optimize overall system energy efficiency.

Smart of u dude!

I have also noticed on some web sites that the price of an AMD Phenom X4 is between 8-11000 bucks. The price will fall drastically in a year’s time.

No! No! u dont have to stick back with that, You can upgrade to a new system but not spend too much. I suggest the foll temp config,

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (Rs. 3700)
socket AM2
2200MHz FSB

ASUS M2N VM DVI (Rs. 4000)
Nvidia nforce 630a + geforce 7050PV Chipset

Transend DDR2 667 MHZ 1 GB ram (Rs. 850)

You can upgrade your HDD and Opticle drive as necessary.
The whole thing shouldnt cross 16500Rs., considering u take a new case and power supply in addition to a 250GB seagate SATA 2 HDD + Samsung SH203 DVD writer.

I like AMD because of their price to performence ratio and the fact that u get grand mother boards for extremely less prices.

Happy upgrading!!

I dont game much.But eww,1.7ghz.
Hmm..I can forget 9600GT and opt for that Ati 3870 or something.But every game is being optimised for Nvidia.Thats sad.And my second best choice would be to stick to 8600GT.Better stick to 8600GT,I am not a serious gamer.

13k ... too much. MSI 8800GT 512mb is a much better option for the same price.
pcie 2.0 cards are compatible with pcie 1.1 slots ( most mobo's run fine but via chipset mobo's dont support 8800GT ) .

pcie 2.0 offers twice the bandwidth as that of pcie 1.1 but today's cards are just saturating the bandwidth of pcie 1.1 and are far from using the extra bandwidth pcie 2.0 offers. .

wats the street price of hd3870 ?

They ll be vfm when they reach 7-8k.
BTW yea these PCIe2.0 cards ll work on older PCIe x16 slots. Just that the bandwidth ll be reduced.
