Calling all Pune Techies...

[abhishekkulkarni]

@gameaddict

Now the day was supposed to be Thursday . :)

Hows 6:30pm on thursday ?

[devianthulk]

Man.. scanned thru every1's post.... now i'm confused. Whats decided finally... when... where? :)
Btw i've got a digicam too... so can bring it for the meet.

For all those ppl whining about travelling all the way down to Nigdi.... dig this in.... I stay at Pimpri. I travel on Bike thrice in a week to Pune n then later to Kothrud.... So in a day i travel around 22+10+20 kms (approx). Its only a matter of one day... so try to make it guys.... what say?

AJ

[djmykey]

Ok this is da last time I's gonna tell this to all of ya.

Avi is gonna go to Sagar's for some data that he wanted (I'm also goin coz need some data). Then at around 6 pm da meet is gonna start at BCL and every1 i mean every1 must be dere or else then well its up to ya how to meet every1 else. Pls don't whine abt anything coz peeps r coming after an exhausting day from the college and all. Personally me thinks BCL is fair coz its fairly far from all the peeps that r gonna meet.

[Dipen01]

I travel on bike

buddy.. i don't even have bike.. thats the main problem else i can come anywhere called.. Once for my sake just try a jampacked bus and let me know how was experience .. and in case u hav tried it i need not speak more.. u know how is it... Anyways.. still i dont mind..

[sagar_mutha]

Okie so it's final now!
Avi confirmed that he will be at my place on Thursday at around 2pm(some prob in his PC so he is not able to post)...also,dipen and mykey would be joining...anyone else wanna join us at my place is welcome...
We'll do just a bit of data transfer(only say 15-20mins)as it is not the purpose this time...
Then we all can join the rest of you guys at BCL around 6pm...only one more day to go so guys please confirm ur presence...

[abhishekkulkarni]

Okay , 6:00 pm at BCL ( British Council Library 8) ) is fixed ..

But guys do wait there for some time after 6:00 pm , coz I do not think every one would be punctual.. :wink:

[djmykey]

Yup Abhi thats what we do every meet. And guys if u cant come pls pm somebody or else we would end up waiting forever.

[devianthulk]

I'll sms my status to AMit before coming.

[GameAddict]

I will join you guys at 6;30 or so.It's difficult to leave office so early.Anybody passing thru Aundh at 6:00 or so ? Lift milegi kya :)

[mastang]

ok guys i will be there too,only thing is i may be late by 15 min or something because i am having practical on 3.30 to 5.30 i will have to come from my college i.e PVGS coet.as our term end is near so dont know for how much time sir is gonna take pract.
any way i will be there.
and my real name is Shrirang.so good bye for now ,see u at the meet.Also i will not be be able to spend more than an hour as i have to do submission after coming home for tomorrows pract.
bye then

[Dipen01]

hi,,

well am stuck at Sagars place... and as its raining heavily here.. so myself and sagar wont be able to join u guys...

i was supposed to meet sagar at 3 and then we were supposed to come to BCL at 6...

But due to rains and bus problem i reached his place at 5.30 and so now if we leave .. then we will reach ther around 7 or something.. thats why we decided to miss it..

anyways... will meet next time.. sorry for inconvenience...

Thank you all for your good wishes!

I am gonna miss you all and this city too. :( . Spent three years here, and have many bitter/sweet experiences. I am not sure about the newer guys on this thread, but I am gonna call all you 'older' guys. And of course, will keep posting whatever 'happens' to me in Hyd. ;).

Since I am leaving this Friday, meet won't be possible, so I guess we will chat over phone. Things moved very fast in last couple of weeks...interviews with the new company,visit to Hyd. and formalities with the present company and what not. Also I felt that, we will all meet last Thursday...and I will announce the news. But it didn't happen. :(

Anyway, what are chat and email fo ?!? We will always stay in touch!:)

Yeah, two guys are leaving can be a blow to the group, but I guess that others have started meeting and it's a +ve developement.

You are right about profession..in a year or two many of guys will be all over the World.

I had the offer for onsite (Japan) job, but the profile was not of interest, as I don't want to make a career related to more of Translation and less of technology. :D

avi

[djmykey]

Still hunting for a prey for ya Avi ;)

[avi_avadhut]

Thx sweety… and now take some good news..



we went to Hakone.

Its one beautiful place near Mount Fuji.

First by local train (Volvo class) then Romance Car – Express super Volvo class train and then Bus – off course it has to be more than Volvo class

And ……….. Finally by ship………….. yesssssssss one big 4 floor sexy and little bit traditional decorated ship and then ropeway and cable car and many things.



Enjoyed like anything.

First time I enjoyed ship and ropeway and cable car.

And I was so much impressed by ship so I took normal boat and I and my partner here enjoyed boating also.

Sexy…….. Just amazing….



Man you must have somebody with you when you are in the middle of the lake. Completely clean water, green valley around and ducks and sexy fish with different colors and styles and many things…



Then we went near to Mount Fuji. But we could not reach because of weather.

But still at the bottom of that area we have seen sulfur, steam, air and many things coming out of land and the smell and heat but still enjoyed a lot.

Off course taken photo in that environment too so show our people how brave I am. Hahahaa



While coming cable car – sexy train plus bus combo controlled by just one big powerful rope.

Don’t worry taken more than 300 photos so you can also enjoy.

Off course it costs me like a bomb but no problem. One trip outside tokyo in two japan visit is fair.

miss you guys................

[Dipen01]

:shock:

[GameAddict]

avi

[Ablenwill]

Hi thanks so now I m member of the group... Well my budget is around 12 to 13k and my basic need will be for my studies of MCSE and for same I want to run virtual pc on my system which is resource hungry so need good system regarding gaming and other entertainment will play games (not hardcore gamer) and DVD movies n songs. Is any one with some good configuration system on sale let me know...

[avi_avadhut]

well in 12-13K its difficult to get system with your requirement.

about mcse get in touch with Mickey since he is also doing same.

welcome to MCSE club---------

try to increase your budget coz you need good system if you want to run virtual machine.

i use to run 4 virtual machines at same time on win2003 server and use to practice lan, dhcp, dns, exchange and everything....
but my specs well you can find in same thread...
just check last 2-3 pages. i was planning to sell my system but it cancelled..... thx to Mickey......................

[djmykey]

Avi sorry but I'll have to wait for some time coz if ur coming in Dec then no problems man coz i gotta get my results b4 I buy the iPod frm u coz man or else I'll be fried. But still if you get any other customer then be my guest and sell it. :) I wont get angry or anything. I'm gonna go back to MCSE to clear the papers b4 restarting my classes. Anyways enuff of me....


Ablenwill welcome to the group man. Well ur doin MCSE then where r u doin it man tell me. Im doin it at Karrox J. M. Road branch. Dood ur budget is really low man for a machine. U might get problems with win 2003 server itself man so dont do it. Wait for some money to collect work or something man and then get good money and then only buy a machine believe me man it sux when u buy a shitty machine.

Avi check ur pm.

[tech_cheetah]

Hi friends
I have just joined the tcs pune n undergoing training at csc (above Hero Honda showroom) wakdewadi.
I m staying at nyati empire,kharadi.
My experience with pune has not been a good one esp bcoz there is nothing which i can call local bus network.Travelling is such an expensive affair !!!
But still i managed to go to Vishal Shopping complex,Pune Central,pentaloons and MG road on my first weekend at pune, n bought some clothes.
Please guide me where else i can go for weekend timepass ..
I like the weather at pune .
I would like to know about u people ... i guess most of u wud b working at pune just like me. Do u people meet regularly ?

[avi_avadhut]

welcome dude..

please let us know more about you...
and want to know more about us then just go through this thread...

our meets stopped for some reasons but now i hope to get good news....


anyway our other pune techies can help you out for shops and bus and many things. try to manage bike as it will fast and cheap solution for you compare to Bus system as trains here are not like mumbai.

[devianthulk]

@tech_cheetah ----> Get a bike as Avi suggested.
Travelling by bus turns out expensive as compared to other cities in india.
Btw how is the training goin on at TCS?
Which dept. r u in?

[tech_cheetah]

they r giving training pertaining to all the aspects of professional life.
All of us being non computer science students, v r having technical training also.
They finish subjects like DBMS in two days.
Then there are language classes on german n french.
They also have very interesting classes on personalty developement where they teach eating etiquettes,dressing sense,body language,conversations on phone etc. etc.
Its just awsome :D
I was not expecting this high quality training from tcs.
This is definitley one of the bests in the world.

Yar how can i arrange for a bike ... when i have not got any salary. will get at the end of november :x

[Ablenwill]

Thanks everyone I think its going to be a good affair with the group. Ya Mykey I know my budget is too less but thats what cash I have I m thinking to buy pc on finance but not coming to any conclusion as I have budget of 22k to 24k (with finance @ 0%). Thinking to go with 64 bit cpu but which amd or intel the problem with amd is the mobo, only asus mobo are available for amd in pune, and also between the 754 pin or 939 but later one crosses 25k line and on my bad luck compaq sr1512il with 64 3200+ cpu and asus k8s-la mobo model is discontinued from market which was costing to 22500. Regarding intel I had decided 64 bit 2.66 asus 915 mobo with 80 gb sata hdd 256 ram and 17" monitor but that too going to 25 k. So is there anyone to help me get a good deal with finance option pls let me know. Ya cheeta everyone is right bike is the right and only option to travel in Pune so get one asap but also think about the price hike in petroleum I have an Unicorn which give me a milage of 50-53 km/pl and I travel min 50 km everyday so a liter everyday which burn a big hole in my pocket... So if u r milage conscious then go for new hero glamour and if power lover then Unicorn or Pulsar. Its so easy to choose bike then to buy a computer lol.

[Ablenwill]

I did my MCSE classes from IIHT MG road camp but it sucks and so didnt gave exams that time but now thinking to give so want to prepare and do prac and so need pc hey Mykey also Avi can you tell me your configuration and is onboard video sufficient for 4 session of virtual pc at a time. Also want to know that does fx 5200 support tv out if yes then what type of connector.

[avi_avadhut]

fx5200 ultra has tv-out but it will beonly s-video so you need TV which has s-video in.
virtual pc is not fully dependent like games on GFX card.
it require as max as possilbe - cpu speed, ram speed ( not only size. 1GB-DDR400 dual channel will be better than 1.5GB ddr 333 single channel) and you need to have good HDD as well and main of all this is the base which power all these parts - Mobo...

you must have good mobo. boards like mercury are crap. even if you get it free sitll dont take it. i have seen one of my friend system p4, mercury, 512DDR333mhz, 80Gb and system was like a crap...
it use to take 3 min to load 98 and 4 min for xp.
i tried win2003 and only with 1 virtual pc it was showing his limits..
so stay away from systems like these.
one more advice - STAY AWAY FROM COMPAQ / DELL SYSTEMS.
they sucks when it comes to performance. many techies here can make good assembled system for you and that too within you budget.
so forget about branded systems.

you might save 3/4000 now but whatever you will spend will be a wastage.
so make your budget little high and get a good system.
at least mobo, proc and ram must be good quallity. add additional parts later as you get moeny. but the base of system must be best....


about bike if you think for petrol then CT100 is better than TVS Centra and if you love power then Karizma and pulsor 180cc is for you.

and like me if you like to have combo of power as well as milege then Honda Unicorn.. man i love this bike. i am getting always 55 / 60+ milege but i take care of it like a darling. i only use Extra premimum pertol with oxegen boosters extra added. it help by bike for good pickup and smooth riding.

AND REMEMBER THE FUNDA - IF PETROL INCREASE THEN EVERYTHING LIKE AUTO, BUS, and almost everything - YOU CAN SEE HIKE SO bike is always better option.
the benifit with you is TIME. you can save the time and get to any place as per your plan...

[devianthulk]

Then there are language classes on german n french.
They also have very interesting classes on personalty developement where they teach eating etiquettes,dressing sense,body language,conversations on phone etc. etc.


Wow! I guess u r in the HR department.... right?
Anyways....... enjoy ur time at TCS.

[djmykey]

Now those a big replys.

Anyways to start with tech_cheetah, well dood i wish u all the luck with ur training man. If u not in tech field then what field r u in and what did u ge recruited as in TCS. We want to know.

Ablenwill dood give ur MCSE exams man ull get a good job and me too doin same avi did same. As far as machine is concerned I cant help ya much with the configurations coz the configs r gone way outta my reach and I dont visit the bazaar that much. And as far as assembling is I can do that tho:P and dood dont go for branded machine u end up paying for win xp and all that crap softwares they put in ur sys. so assembled is the way to go.

[GameAddict]

Wow! New members joining in...great! Had any meet guys this month ? It's almost 2 weeks in Hyd. and I am having a good time. Work is interesting :)

Anybody bought Avi's iPod ?

GA

[tech_cheetah]

I have just completed my engg. in electronics.
I have been recruited as a trainee. After training i will b sent on some project . After going through several projects, they will decide whether to send me to the marketing or keep in technical field.
Personally i m interested in technical field.
I recently made a sudoku game in java.

[avi_avadhut]

hey amit my ipod is still waiting for confirm customer...

and tech-cheetah - if you are doing java programming then it comes under software / programming category not techinical category....


anyway good for us that one programmer will be with us. many of us are in systems only thats why this is techie group...
but everybody loves games so welcome in the club...

[Ablenwill]

You are right Avi regarding system as well as bike and as I mentione earlier I too have Unicorn but Honda dealers **** its really a pain to get the bike serviced There is an 10 to 15 days whating period for getting bike serviced at all famous showroom in pune. Any way thanks for the idea about sys requirement for virtual pc I m getting my pc mostly by Diwali.

[Ablenwill]

Hi All,

I have decided AMD 2800+ and Asus K8V mobo or I should go with the MSI K8MM mobo. OR I should go with P4 2.66 64 bit and Asus P5GLMX mobo. Cost for both are almost same so can anyone help me in taking decision with this configuration also will like to know that onboard vidoe of all this mobo are quite sufficent or not for normal gaming.

hp

[avi_avadhut]

dont go for p4-64bit as performance is horrible compare to AMD

take at least AMD 3000+ with this msi mobo with great onboard graphics
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=RS482M4-ILD&class=mb
its a cheap combo.... and good one..

but if you are looking for virtual PC and something i will advice to get Intel p4 with HT.
dont go for prescot core non HT.

Kunhar ATX Cabinet with 400 Watts SMPS (Rs. 2,200)
A decent looking cabinet with adequate power is all you need for your gaming PC. But it is always good to have that bit of headroom, in this case, those extra Watts of power in reserve. Hence, we chose to go for a 400 Watts SMPS from PowerSafe (three-year warranty) along with a VIP professional cabinet. The total cost would range between Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 2,200 depending on the choice of cabinet.






Logitech Spill-resistant Standard Keyboard (Rs. 300)
A sturdy and ergonomic keyboard is all you need for hours of action gaming. The Logitech spill-resistant keyboard is just that and is also designed to let liquids go through in case of accidental spills.






Mouse: Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical (Rs. 800)
This optical mouse is a gamer's delight. It is extremely light and ergonomic and with its highly sensitive optical sensor, you can bid farewell to tracking off (skipping). Note the name again - Wheel Mouse Optical and not Basic optical mouse. Now head shots are just a click away.






Modem: 56 Kbps Internal Modem (Rs. 400)
If you plan to surf the Internet on a dial-up connection, you will need a modem. So buy one. Else skip it as the motherboard has 10/100 Mbps LAN onboard anyways if you plan to install cable/broadband Internet.

Kunhar ATX Cabinet with 300 Watts SMPS (Rs 1,100)
A decent looking, well-ventilated cabinet with 300 Watts of power is all you need, to hold your components together. And since we aren't looking at too many power-hungry components, 300 Watts should be adequate power. However, if your peripheral count goes up, change your SMPS to one with more power.







Logitech Spill-resistant Standard Keyboard (Rs 300)
A sturdy and ergonomic keyboard is all you need for those long PC sessions. The Logitech spill-resistant keyboard is just that and is also designed to let liquids go through in case of accidental spills.






Samsung Optical Mouse (Rs 350)
Add a simple, basic optical mouse that works on all non-reflective/transparent surfaces. Do I need to say more?

Also, add an internal modem if your area isn't graced with the so-called broadband Internet. Else skip it. A dying commodity for sure and not one that I would recommend.

[djmykey]

Yeah, do let us know. Sagar great to see u back online. Anyways enjoy the new pc ablenwill

[Ablenwill]

I have purchased it from Real computers I think AMD is giving great margin to the dealers now a days s this real guys r pushing amd much more any way my experience with AMD will let you know once I use it least for a month. Will let you know full prices once get the bill as they had given me a rough note which I have lost.

[Ablenwill]

Help please... I got the system n one thing is sure the onboard graphics sucks will need to go for graphics card and more 256 ram but only after a month. But my present prob is I m unable to install DirectX 9.0C version on my pc presently its DirectX 9.0b I tried installing DirectX 9.0c and it says successfully installed but the version stays old is any prob with the onboard graphics card or this chipset doesnt support the later version pls let me know the solution

[Prajith]

AMD Rules...........................

[avi_avadhut]

i too faced same problem while upgrading 9.0b to 9.0c.
i tried web update, and direct x uninstaller and many things but no use..

If you upgrade your PC to winxp SP2 the you will get 9.0c automatically.
if you want to have sp1 then please do fresh installation with any old CD and directly install 9.0c ( from 8.1 to 9.0c no problem)

Prajit - please let us know more about you..
are you from pune?
anyway welcome in pune techie group...

[Ablenwill]

Thanks Avi will update to SP2 s there is no harm in it. Sorry for no comma and full stop as I post through my N-Gage using opera as now got my pc will get a bluetooth dongle and will use my phone as modem. Has anyone here tried this does it works? Happy Diwali to everyone in advance Enjoy.... And wish coming years will be of peace and joy... live and let live

[tech_cheetah]

I want to buy mp3 player(atleast 256 MB).
yesterday i searched the whole laxmi road, but could not find a decent electronics stuff shop.On MG road there were just two shops.
So there are not many options for me.
Can anybody tell me where to go exactly for getting a decent mp3 player.
I have a budget of 2k-3k. I can manage with local chinese ones (if there is some guarentee, which i cud not find :cry: ) or atleast someone assures me that these chinese ones can be repaired in pune or India.

[Dipen01]

Hey... Guys..

HAPPY DIWALI and prosperous NEW YEAR :)

Enjoy Safe Diwali..
Dipen

[djmykey]

dunno abt chinese but mp3 players r rare in pune.



happy diwali all u ppls.

[avi_avadhut]

HAPPY DIPAWALI TO ALL PUNE TECHIES............

cheta - sorry dude my 20Gb iPOD was on sale only for pune techies for 8000 only.

guys - i have sold my iPOD with cover and charger - 12000.

and yesterday i have purchased 60GB video iPOD.............
its damn sexy..........

[sagar_mutha]

Hi guys!
A very Happy Diwali to all!
@avi-give us more details abt the features of the IPOD

[nirubhai]

I want to buy mp3 player(atleast 256 MB).
yesterday i searched the whole laxmi road, but could not find a decent electronics stuff shop.On MG road there were just two shops.
So there are not many options for me.

laxmi road is not for electronics products. you should go to budhvar peth. but, the market there has lower standard & cheap products. so probably you would get the chinese ones there. if you want the chinese player i would suggest you to buy from pimpri market (its around 15 km from pune but you can bargain for a cheaper one).
for original branded players, you can visit a show room or a shopping mall like pyramid/shoppers stop/pune central etc. i can suggest few known dealers in pune for computer hardware. Data Care (Deccan), Baba Computers (Tilak Road), GV Sales (Rasta Peth), Sujata Computers (Nal Stop, Kothrud)
it will be better if you get hold of a local friend to search more shops.

a request to digit members from pune:
i have seen many visitors in pune facing problems in searching such shops. unfortunately, there is no central or specific place in pune for the IT related market. i would request the digit members from pune to make a compilation of shops where you can buy IT & computer related products and post it in some thread (plz consult with moderators). it would help many people.

[djmykey]

Nirubhai good to see u after a looooong time. Yes Budhwar peth is a good place to shop for electronics but u must watch ur step or else u might land in somewhere else :) so take someone who knows that place really well.

Niru u said something about Pimpri by any chance u stay near that place coz I stay near it so we could meet up some time man.

[Ablenwill]

You can check for Mitashi MP-256 memory based mp3 player with radio for 3500 and you get 1yr warrenty. @Mykey I stay at New Sangvi we also can meet sometime but not at present as I have mate an accident n my Unicorn is in showroom for repairing. @Avi sp2 worked n now my directx is v9.0C thanks for same. hey can any1 tell me how to overclock cpu and is it safe I will like to overclock my cpu to 2Ghz will it be safe with one system fan.

[djmykey]

[avi_avadhut]

or wait for some time as when i will be back with asus p4800delux i am going to arrange live demo of overclocking for everybody....

[Ablenwill]

Ya Avi will like to race I have clocked the highest speed of 110 on my Unicorn at trip to Raigadh.

[Ablenwill]

Is there any solution for same I tried searching net but got no satisfactory solution. Does anyone have idea whats wrong and need to done.

[djmykey]

Wow waiting for this one.


I have clocked the highest speed of 110 on my Unicorn at trip to Raigadh.

:shock:

[nirubhai]

Niru u said something about Pimpri by any chance u stay near that place coz I stay near it so we could meet up some time man.
nope, i live in yerwada. but still, we can meet for sure. i might be free on sundays. u can contact me on my number. i've pm'd u.

plz, someone take the computer shops list seriously. even today a guy from gujarat was asking me, where to buy headphones? as an IT city, we really lack a central market place for IT products.

[avi_avadhut]

thats true that we dont have central place for IT stuff.
but we can start making list of shops.
if everybody starts then it can be one good list.

let me start from me first -

Unic computers - Rasta peth.
sorry guys i know this guy for cheap rates but cant tell u exact address and phone number also. i bought 17" second hand monitor (it was as good as new) for 3000 rs almost 8months back.

guys keep addiing your shops. let them be expensive we just want to compile one grand big list. so start plzzzzzzzzzzzz


I have clocked the highest speed of 110 on my Unicorn at trip to Raigadh.

only 110 hmnmnmnm dude i have clocked it upto 115.
i use extra premium petrol always and even the petrol guy say that it already contain add on still i pour 2 packs (6 ml each) of add on.
try that for 2-3 times and always keep petrol 3+ leters.

then race in professional manner and get the max speed.
when i will come we will take bypass to Pune express and check the speed of our bikes....

waiting for this man as in long running even pulsor also get defeted by my bike. off course at singnals it overtake me but let it cross 90+ then i am the king. let me see somebody defeat me...........................



and Yes i am bringing p4800 delux and XP-90 so i am going to arrange a live demo of installation of XP-90 then overclocking setp by setp and stress test of the overclock of it by running 3d mark05. we should see some improvements. anyway i am bringing zalman VF7000f for my 6600GT so lets change the heatsink of it with this new one and add ram sink also. we are going to have one complete overclocking class.

1. processor
2. RAM
3. Graphic Card.

and we will check the 3d mark score.....
so be ready guys... you need to spend one complete day for that.
it will take at least 5-7 hours.... so whos gonna come???


and arrange at least one meet as many new members are on the list and its time for our oldies to make them part of our reguler meets.

so who is giving me the good news................

[sagar_mutha]

The stuff available over there is of good quality n not too expensive as well

[LordDJ]

[djmykey]

Loads and loads of new new members, man this meet is gonna need a hall this time, anyone knows a good hall we can find cheap :) so at the moment all the peeps r studying their ass off for their upcoming exams and hence there is no meet schedule at the moment so when their exams finish we might have a meet that might be in 2nd or 3rd week of Dec. So till then we gotta wait.

Anyways Aniruddh tell us more abt ya. Where do u stay ? what do u do ? And what machine u got ? 8) and also what r ur intrests ? Welcome to the group man.

[avi_avadhut]

welcome new guys....

hey mickey its time now for you to take all controls and lead and arrange meets. it will be totally impossible for me to arrange anything from here.

sure plan a meet in December 3rd week - a Grand meet but before that it will be nice if you arrange one small Hi-Hello meet for our new guys..

how is plan??

please let everyone knows about new small HI-Hello meet.


avi

[djmykey]

Yup a small hi hello meet is fine. Whaddya say peeps, coz it will take a major chunk of the time of the meet if we have to have fun and meet and intros all in the same meet.

I dont see abhishek anymore is he sleeping kya ??

[LordDJ]

Would luv to meet up guys. But I'm a lil tied up with college;) Hope to be free by the 25th Nov. But hey Dec would be fine.

[Ablenwill]

Hey Mykey my bluetooth is working now acctually it was problem with the dongle itself and now even able to surf web through phone. any way thanks...

[Ablenwill]

I think 31st dec can be a good time for everyone to meet say a grand techie meet????

[avi_avadhut]

31 is not a good idea as everyone will be in mood of enjoy and want to go with somebody to somwehere........

i wanted to have maximum people with max amount of time as its a long 6 months gap, i have not seen anyone and many new guys are there.....

better to keep it before that or after that...

guys what you think???


when you are going to arrange Hi-hello meet. otherwise when i will come everybody is new to everyone.....


mickey - man plan any date and let everybody try for the same.
would like to see meet plans and actual execution..

[GameAddict]

@Avi: Wish, I was there in Pune to check out your system (and even buy it). Cool rig, I must say and finding buyers won't be difficult. :) Is it possible to see the system while you are not in Pune (so if any of my friends are interested, they can check it out ) ?

GA

[avi_avadhut]

amit - yes it is possible to see the sytem while i am not in pune.

so you have enough time to get any customer for my rig. - 20 december.

but mickey feels that no one will buy such system.. plz ask him why he says like that..

[djmykey]

microsoft 5 bt Mouse - 1,000 - its lying here with me...
What is this avi ??

[devianthulk]

@Avi

In case u dont mind selling individual parts ...... pls contact me.
Btw i'm interested in buying the RAm.... but prob is
I'm in need of 1 stick of 1 GB DDR400 MHZ only.
Regarding the gfx card..... one of my friends would b interested.
Btw 6600GT .... which brand.... onboard ram.... is it agp?

[avi_avadhut]

its a 5 button scrol wheel mouse from Microsoft.
lol 6600GT cant be onboard. its an AGP card. brand - Geforce
but you wont get any warranty as i have lost my slip which content warranty for 6600GT and my 250GB USB HDD.

about memory i do have 512 x 4 = 2GB.
i dont want to sell parts of it as i will be in india for max 2-3 weeks so better to sale entire system but if i can give you 1GB so my system will have only 1GB which is enough i think (not for me) then price will be also less may be i will find someone.

as i am adding Asus p4800delux so i cannot give only 6600GT.
guys nobody is telling if i am overpricing???
forget about purchase but what about price??
how much should i lower down(plz dont tell me 30k) so i can sale it.

help me.............................

[sagar_mutha]

Frankly speaking avi,what i feel is if someone wants to shell out 54k for a rig he most definitely wouldn't go for a P4 2.4.Dont think many would be too interested with the XP90c too.Yes,it is good for overclocking but mid-range buyers wouldn't need it...You easily get a 16x Dual Sony/BENQ DVD-RW here for 2.2-2.4k so consider reducing that price too a bit...dont think the Mitsubishi brand would make much of a difference to many...
Have you already bought the Lanboy cabinet?If you havent i would advice against it coz it would also be hard to sell off...
Also,i feel you will have to sell off individual parts if want to get rid of your entire rig...finding someone to buy your complete rig is going to be very hard...

[djmykey]

I second sagar's post coz loads of ppl r not into this much of detail and nobody wants to use that high end products most of da ppl r kaam chalao. Man I bet man ur gonna have a helluva time selling it man. The only person I can think of who can give u a potential customer is Darky no one else mark my words avi.

[avi_avadhut]

well i havent purchased the cabinet yet but i liked it too much so i was plannig to get it for me.

sagar - this was new for me that you can purchase 16x Dual layer sony DVD RW for 2.2 - man plz go and check for the price again. single layer will be in 2.2 but dual layer must cost 4k plus.
if i remove cabinet then it goes to 46K ok so let me drop till 40K.
what you think is it OK price now.....
anyway even if u by new proc it is max 2.8 and 3.0 range only.
check out new 775 socket proc they have extra cache but speed is only 2.8 or 3.0 something. and try to buy 2.4 / 2.8c - yes "c" series, very difficult to find. Intels only best series our of a,b,c,d,e.

and anyway with xp90c my 2.4c will easily clock till 3.0

mickey - do u think darky will help me inthis regard..

[devianthulk]

@Avi
lol 6600GT cant be onboard. its an AGP card. brand - Geforce
Of course..... 6600 gt cant b onboard.... I meant whether is it PCI-Express
or AGP?
N regarding the brand..... its quite obvious its Geforce :) I actually meant
whether is it a AOpen, XFX,BIG,3d force.... etc etc?

As far as ur pricing goes.....
Rs. 5500 for 16x Dual DVD-RW is a little on the higher side. Try bringing it down to 4.4k.

[avi_avadhut]

dear you can purchase cards from Geforce itself.
Nvidia Geforce cards are avaliable for purchase in tokyo.

so let me revise the final config as i forgot to add Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card which i already purchased here for my rig.

so here is new revised cost. -


6600GT - 8,000 - new box packed - 7000
XP90c - 3,500 - new box packed - 3000
Zalman VFU7000 - 2,500 - new box packed - 2000
cabi - lanboy - delete hhhahah
2.4c+ Asus p4800de - 9,000 - board is brand new box packed - 8000
2 GB DDR400 MHz - 7,500 - i hope ram is not so cheap.. - 7000
16x Dual DVD-RW - 5,500 - its of Mitsubishi boss... - 4000
Creative 4.1 cambrige 2,000 - wanna throw it....... - 1500
Samsung 17" CRT - 3,000 - sweet old price - 2500
microsoft 5 bt Mouse - 1,000 - its lying here with me... - 500
120 + 80 GB - 5,000 - 80GB is brand new - 4500
Creative Audigy 2 ZS - brand new - 4500 - 3500

total - 42,500 - so final price is 40K no more low down or i will keep it just like that as i am not getting even 50% i have spent on it.

mickey and sagar - what you think how is the new price ????

[djmykey]

This is my opinion.

1. Dood since most of the part r bought in Japan so warranty = nil for indian buyers.

2. Since your machine is 2.4c so ur gonna have a helluva time selling it.

3. Nobody I'll say nobody will buy that machin, cmon man I mean a second hand machine in 40k tell me abt it.

4. Avi u did B.Com. na did ya hear abt the term called depriciation, dood ur selling second hand at first hand rates forget the warranty, what do u have on ur mind.

[sagar_mutha]

Avi,if you had 40k to buy a new machine would you go for a P4 2.4?I guess no!So,most obviously your best bet would be to sell out individual parts...
So you can sell your 2.4c+Asus mobo+512/1GB RAM Creative 4.1+120/80GB HDD+Mouse+17" CRT together and the rest as individual parts...This way you will have a better chance and we can help you out to find customers...
Also you will find many buyers for Creative Audigy 2 ZS,XP90c,Zalman VFU7000 on Techenclave...
About the DVD-RW Dual it was a typo...a friend got a BENQ 1640 from Mumbai for 3k and Sony DVD-RW Dual is available for 3.3k in Pimpri...
Now,it is up to you to decide what has to be done wit ur machine...

[avi_avadhut]

mickey i am giving second hand rates only.
i know dep concept so i am giving my proc @ only 3k, 120GB hdd@2k and 2GB ram @7k.
i just want good price for my stuff which is new.......

sagar - i think you are right... i should sell cpu+mobo+ram+hdd - one normal machine and xp90c, creative2zs, zalmanVF9000 can give me more price than i will get for entire system - lol...

[abhishekkulkarni]

Back Again.........

Hello guys , how are all of you doing ? It's nice to see a lot of new ppl around here .

BTW I was going through the previous posts , and saw you guys discussing a Meet .

Now here are my thoughts ( Please excuse me if it seems like I'm " flaming " a bit , but then the Truth is the Truth ) about these " So Called " Meets -

1 . The last Meet was a disaster . :evil:

2 . All those guys who were supposed to come for the Meet ( Excluding Mikey , Mustang and Myself ) never turned up . :twisted:

3 . It was then apparent to me that a Meet is just a front and an excuse to go to each other's place with your HDDs and set out on a " Copying Frenzy " . :twisted:

4 . This was totally irresponsible behaviour , since those guys were aware that Me , Mikey & Mustang were waiting for them for almost 2 Hours on the road-side . :evil:

5 . Arranging a Meet & discussing it over tons of posts is easy as compared to actually attending it .

6 . So , the Moral of the story is that a bit of introspection & maturity is required to be applied before another Meet is arranged . :(

7 . Other wise , the unsuspecting and un-aware New Guys will be confused as to whether this is a " Pune Techies Group " or a " Pune Data Transfer Group " . :twisted:

[djmykey]

Abhi doood welcome back man.

Ok abhi lemme clear off some doubts. It was due to Avi's sudden departure and somewhat the rains too that the meet was a disaster or else late or what all the members do turn up except deviant :P coz he only tells us at the last moment that hes busy. Ok data transfer yes i totally agree wit u it was a frenzy in the middle and yess ppl were crazy abt data (1 of them was me too :lol: ) But since avi's machine is na and no others place is that good as avis place so we might not be going to any1s place in particular for a data transfer thingy. so abhi dont worry. And yes this time some real h/w demos will b there for us man am i waiting for it. And ppl 4get the data meet ppl u get something more than data u can take my word for it.

[avi_avadhut]

Thx miceky for reply and abhi let me explain more about this and let me take responsibility of the same.

Yes we do data transfer and all but that was requirement of all members. While data transfer is going on we use to discuss on many things like current hardware, any new software, about market, movies, songs and many off topic things. We wanted to make one group but not only for technology but a group of those people who come together for technology first and then they have their private matter too.

you just wait for 2 hours and saying like this man we have spent 2-3 hours every meet ( sometime from 11 till 2 on the same stupid bench) for waiting for others and nobody is employee of the company called "Pune techie" so they must come...

This is self interest driven group so whoever wants to come can come and join and about careless people, well you cant do anything to them.. They are the one who are in loss.
Because of this group i got good friends like Mickey, sagar but with them other just remain members so it’s all up to you, your attitude that’s only thing i will say. ( I am not pointing anybody)

Nobody is rocket Scientist and can demo something to other every time.
It is a group where techie (in real life 18-25 age ppl who wants to be techie) can come together and share something they can.

Even the demo i am going to give about XP-90c installation, Zalman VF7000f installation and overclocking of 2.4c and 6600GT - i have done it only once so i am also not master. i just want to do all this in front of everybody just for sharing knowledge. now if people come to get 250GB dvd rips i have then its their fault and i cant do anything.

well finally i will say that you are smart enough then you can be one of mickey or sagar to first become base for this group and then find some more good members who can really contribute about technology, shops in pune, events in pune.

my concept behind this group is knowledge sharing as everybody will be good in one or other field so he can share some with others.
If interested then plz join otherwise everybody is free........

[Ablenwill]

Hey Guys relax I know I m new to group but dont want this group break before I know everyone and become not just a member regarding Abhi anger even I would had reacted same but then ask yourself it didnt happened same when u all planned a trip or meet in your school or collage days so forget the past and look towards new start... Wish the next meet do happens and a successful one too. @mickey can you meet me on saturday or sunday I will be coming to pimpri this saturday if possible let me know as I want to start my practice for MCSE.

[djmykey]

Hmm ablenwill, if ur coming on sat or sunday pls call me man and where do u go frm i mean aundh hospital ke raaste or the other highway if u go the other highway u might not see me but frm aundh highway my house is near. Call me on my house no do u have it ?? If no tell me I'll pm u.

[Ablenwill]

Mickey which aundh highway u r talking about one which comes from Rajiv Gandhi bridge? Or u can say that CQAE road. Let me know or else you pm your number so I con call n clear the confusion I might Get my bike today from workshop. @Avi I think all are right selling normal system will be good other components u can sell loose as you wont get right price for other new components.

[djmykey]

Dood the rajiv gandhi one not cqae. Rajiv Gandhi, then sanghvi phata, ESIS hospital, then Wakad phata (that split on the road near jagtap dairy) then jagtap dairy, and then go straight to Kalewadi phata thats my bus stop. when u come there u can call me.

[avi_avadhut]

hey sagar,

do u want to buy 6600GT. its AGP. i dont remember ur board. ??

guys i am planning to get x800GTO2 which we can mod to 850XT PE.
lets try that one.. but i will need PCX mobo to support that card.
what u think i should get venice 3000+ with Asus A8n along with this card.

do u think i should do this and shell my p4-2.4c and 865GBF.
at least i will get some amount when i will sell new combo of proc and mobo or i will keep it with me ..

do let me know ur advice and even tell me how to get week17 something venice for best overclocking....


avi

[sagar_mutha]

Yes avi!I want the 6600GT...let me know how much you want to sell it for...And does your card have International Warranty?...
First,i'll look for some customer for my card and then finalise...
And yes,3000Venice+A8N is a good combo!GO for it!

[avi_avadhut]

nope it does not have int warranty. it cost much so i did not took while purchasing it.
so how much u r willing to pay?
do you want it with Zalman Vf7000 or without??

quote price with and without but in PM.

[djmykey]

Avi yaar jo hai woh bech na pehle aur samaan mat kharid re just sell out everything u got, get the money and bundle up na y again buying things and makin it hard for u. Just sell component after component it will take time man but it will go off give it some time. Dont buy anything more man it will b a waste of money only.

[avi_avadhut]

hmmnn,
what you think i should not take AMD and DFI/Asus.
i might get customer easily for this combo when i want to sell.

x800GTO2 card avaliable here is temping me for PCI express card so board and proc as well. its very cheap and you can mod it to x850XT PE.

but i think you are right i should not spend so much amount as i wont get even 70% after 1 month use. and i will be in india for max 1 month or so...

thx a ton yaar this is second time you have saved me otherwise i'd planned to return p4800delux and get DFI/Asus with Venice 3000 with GTO2.

but i will purchase XP90c and all so we can have OC demo.
lets not change our plan and finish the Demo...


avi

[djmykey]

Yaa dood u gotta sell what u have not add anything to it. Me waits for the demo.

[djmykey]

Use any image mounting tool like Deamon tools or ISO Buster to lad img/cue file, and install/copy the files.

[ravimevcha]

Hi to all Pune Techie..

Howz this Institute and particularly MBA course.

Is is worth doing MBA @ I2IT or not?

[Ablenwill]

Hi mickey thanks for downloading those stuff but even I dont know how to do that. I dont remember what was the third software I told you anyway thanks for downloading this 2. I will be visiting you coming saturday or sunday. I have increased my ran with 1 more 256 MB stick. But still graphics sucks. Thinking for some cheap agp card. Any idea on it. One more query for every1 I got card reader and xp detected properly and installed drivers I am able to read content of memory card but cant write any data on it when ever I try to copy something on it error message appears that unable to complete operation drive is write protected, any idea.

[Ablenwill]

Will like to add that I tried to remove the readonly option but no luck even there is no option in mobile even I formated card but no luck. Thanks waiting for reply.

[saROMan]

PS : whenz the next meet ????

[Ablenwill]

Hey sagar are you planning to sell your card let me know card model and in how much you are selling it I m thinking to buy one but my budget is tight can you pm me your number will like to talk. Hey avi what when r u coming back n what is the cheapest agp card available there I want 128 MB card let me know if you think I will not need int warrenty as card will not ditch for least 1-2 year m not gonna overclock nor going to push it to its limit.

[avi_avadhut]

sorry guys for late reply.
was busy in work. and i spoiled my laptop as well so running here and there to make it repair.

my friends mobile as rammed to my notebook when i was trying to hit him and result- destroying few keys and some damage to mobo too.

tried contacting their site but completely in Jap (it is not Int model) so catch jap+eng guy to help us and lots of things.... but finally today i got my sweety back. with mobo and keys replaced. happy....

i can get cheap card for you but first let me know your budget.
see 128MB card like FX5200 with 64bit memory bandwidth will perform worst than MX4400 - 64 Mb card with 128MB bus.

let me know your budget and i wil get good card for you.
let me know what kind of mobo you have - AGP 2x, 4x, 8xx PCIe etc..
or do one thing give us complete config so we can recommend you best card within your budget.

and let us know your main usage also.
some cards are good for games and some are good for autocad or stuff like that. let us know your primay objective.

Mickey - comon man where r u???

[djmykey]

Hey ppl good to see this thread back alive I am alive was studying for Win 2003 Server Exam gonna give it next week so am reading up dumps as of now thats y dint pos anything.

Ablenwill: - ok man no problemo I also dont have much experience of that cue and bin files so we could both figure out what has to b done.

Saro: - 8) good to c u back man dipen will be happy to c u back

Avi: - Man u screwed up ur lappy, damn u, take things easy man. I want a favour frm u. Can u buy the NFS MW Black Edition (dvd/cd) frm jap market (pirated only :P ), I cant afford buying it original.


Am here expect little action frm me coz I am reading Robert Ludlum's book and also MCSE books/dumps. But I will be online.

[Ablenwill]

Hey avi my mobo is msi k8mm-v it has 8x agp slot there is no main objective but will like to play all the games no matter low resolution and should be better then the onboard one. My budget is not more as need to save money for MCSE exams so some where around 1500 bucks might be thats too low but cant help. Hey mickey I remembered the third thing was dumps I remembered while reading your post. Ya its great to see post alive even I was busy with the job after 15 days I got off yesterday. Guys help me with my card reader prob.

[avi_avadhut]

mickey - its difficult to find pirated CDs here and that too eng version.
Jap i may find coz people are crazy here for games. even any local game launched you can see at least 500+ public in a line to purchase.
there is too much moeny here so you dont find piracy and that too english...... little difficult task but let me try...
one more question - why saroman is offline?? too busy with work or doing something else...what he is doing??? -

Ablenwill - man ur budget is very low. you can get even FX5200 in that.
if you can increase it a bit then Geforce 6200 with turbo cache is good option and that is VFM card. but it will cost u around 3-3.5.
or you can try to get second hand card from digit itself or techenclave.

let us know about your plan.

where is sagar ????

[Ablenwill]

What is price of FX5200 in Japan and I m ready for good 2nd hand card let me know if any @Mickey best of luck dude for server exam

[djmykey]

Ok avi anyways I thought that u might get the game :( too sad man anyways am still gearing up for da exam so will be outta action for some time. And also mostly in dilemma coz my dad wants to buy me a passion plus :evil: i want a unicorn (ok not pulsar its **** anyways) so am still biting my nails as to wether dad will buy me that or no.

[avi_avadhut]

hey mickey you can take my unicorn in passion price.. hehehehe

anyway force your papa for unicorn as passion is not the bike for you..
and anyway it dosent give more than 60-65 avg. then why not try unicon if you drive it properly 55-60 is sure...

ablenwill - let me try to get one from here but its of no worth. better you get any second from digit or techenclave..

hey mickey - techenclave is down or what. i am not able to access since 5 days. they always have domain name problem... poor guys... hehehehe

[ashnik]

sorry guys , i am from Thane but

unicorn has same switchgear set as that of Karisma
and that is best in whole industry. also huge tank invites fancy stikers.

[djmykey]

Hmm buying bike in Jan so still lots of time on hands and I dont worry now coz pushing my dad oh he's a 1 tonne weight in these matters straight forward talking he doesnt budge so there's no point in pushing him. So anyways I urgently need a bike so wont mess up this oppurtunity :P

Secondly when I get a job then life is open I can go to GOA (my dream place), then buy a mobile (damn I really need one) and then the remaining money is apun ka wish can do anything.

Just waiting patiently to clear the exams one by one am gonna give my 2003 paper next week or so so pls pray for me :) Anyways got 500/- discount frm karrox

[Ablenwill]

If you are going for 150 then you should also consider HH new achiver as the engine come from the same mother Honda regarding unicorn guys I have it n I feel that low end torque is worst when compared to pulsar anyway after all its your money and your budget. Hey avi I checked techenclave their site is down n in digit where I can get used card?

[avi_avadhut]

i dont know about site, may be down...

and about unicorn - if unicorn and pulsar is there on signal and both want to race then surely pulsar will go first but sweety you want to see the quality then let both bikes cross 90 then my sweety will overtake pulsar..
i have expereanced it 2 times. and i am happy about the performance.

and again it depends on rider too.

dont even compare HH bikes with unicorn..

[avi_avadhut]

GUYS.... BAD NEWS - :( :( :(

my COE is approved so now i can stay her on business visa so no limit of 90 days max. now i can stay here as long as i want. my company :twisted: is planning to put me here for 1 year....
i dont know when i will be back.

[djmykey]

This is $hit man really bad man. I will miss you but the thing is the next time ur back ull be for ur engagement I think so. Dunno man but me too sad man on hearing this.

[avi_avadhut]

Hey mickey don’t take tension yaar.

I might be there but i am not at all sure for how many days or may be for a day ????

So we cannot make our preplanned oc demo.... very unhappy for that..
But you try to arrange something.. we have to answer Abhishek. Remember that.

Man i am feeling to leave this job as so much pressure always and too much tension. i may leave this job or project and stay in India for 6 months at least and prepare properly and finish all private matters(mca, bike, computer, home and (something imp :) ) so many things). Let me see what i can do coz these decisions should not be taken with hurry.

But please keep our group alive and always be in action. Do something which can help others. Like you arrange one small session from you for entrance in system admin area. Whatever you know present it so new users can get some useful info by that . May be next time some other user will take any useful topic for others and help us...

Main idea is communication or discussion. No one is supposed to be a master but we have to try...

please update me what you are planning for coming meet.

[djmykey]

Ok avi if u come also now pls do keep atleast 1 day for us man. Not for da demo man I wanna c u man its like ages b4 i saw u man really man no not for tha demo or anything man just wanna meet u wanna talk to u coz man loads of options things r floating in and out of my head and am confused like hell abt my future and loads of things (ok now im soudin like a typical fukked up teen, but no I'm not a teen anymore :P )

Abt Sys Admin; man we r leading a pack which is full of Engg students and they r way ahead of us in tech stuff and other things; like grasping power n all so I dont think I'll be much influential in that region. But if and if at all any 1 even 1 fella is intrested in Sys Admin career then I'm more than happy to assist, so dont shy. And dont worry coz the more complex I sound the more easy I'm when I give lectures and I'm kinda used to it. My frens who attended my lectures told me that they dont need to look over any pages once I give any lectures :) ok now I'm praising my self.

Abt my bike; Ablenwill as you told me yesterday; that problem doesnt exist in the new Unicorn. The old one or the earlier version of unicorn had hordes of problems and the new one is not only revamped stickers its also revamped loads of features. This is quoted from the opinion of a mechanic whose father is a mechanic his 2 bros were mechanics and he hiimself is a mechanic for around 3 years of Hero Honda, he also praised Pulsar but he told me the divine funda, that at last its upto the rider how he rides it so u dont take any1's word abt the shortcomings of any bike coz everyone has his own view of everything; as we had discussed abt comps ;)

My friend bought Unicorn new version of it. He told me that there is no problem which I had asked him he told me everything is fine there is no problem of any kind.

[avi_avadhut]

hey mickey thx for reply yaar.
me too wanna see you all. dont worry i will try my level best.

which problem in unicorn you are talking.... coz mine is old one but i never faced any problem (off course i have taken care of my sweety like anything... only speed93 or extra premimum petrol + addons and servicing @ every month, Air presure etc......) but if there is any problem which i dont know then i would like to know about it.
plz explain me about the same and tell me is there any way to fix it or not.

[djmykey]

Avi; ablenwill told me that Unicorn had problems in low end throttle, i.e. if tujhe 2nd gear mein gaadi uthani hai to gaadi doesnt have or give any pickup; or in other way round if u brake and go to 2nd gear u have to go to 1st gear for pickup u cant take off in 2nd gear thats the problem he is facing. Dunno abt u but this guy is facing it.

[avi_avadhut]

ablen - check this deal - grab it its better than 5200...

http://www.techenclave.com/forums/sale-xfx-5700le-256mb-63950.html

[djmykey]

Dood ablenwill new honda unicorn is changed a lot it has a ES now which was absent before. And loads if tit bits have been cleared up so I suggest u check it up again man.

[Ablenwill]

Hey thats good news that there not only facial changes in new unicorn but also some material but ES was available at that time also when I got mine it cost me 3k more so dropped Idea of having one. Avi have you driven Y RX 100 you can fire that bike in 2nd gear from standstill its not possible in unicorn as load is the biggest factor unicorn is the heaviest in 150 lot 309 kg gross weight and so its power to weight ratio is also low compared to pulsar. Get the bike to a speed of 10-20 km and then try to accelerate you will get my point regarding fuel honda had tuned this bike to work on the low quality Indian fuel, I use power as I feel gas from only HP gas station only as I do payment through my credit card n s I dont have to pay service charge on it using ICICI credit card I even use castrol max fuel booster twice in a month. Even Indian no1 auto magazine have not given a clear opinion that which one is better unicorn or pulsar any way my reason to purchase unicorn was I wanted something new s pulsar is too common every youngster planning to purchase bike first choice is pulsar so I wanted to be different from crowd. There r many more things but at the end its individual choice and taste pulsar too has flaws nothing is perfect might be I expected lot from Honda. @mickey I installed vmware and it is great I just installed XP to check will install server on this saturday but the power condition r worst now it goes anytime considring this situation 15 mins ups will be of no use really electricity bord is pathetic any way buddy thanks for those softwares. What about your exam best of luck.

i never tried pickup from 2nd gear. may be 1 down 4 up style is the reason. did anybody try same on Pulsar??? whats the result.. does this problem is solved in New Unicorn???? coz mine is almost 1 year old - not first but it was second or third slot of bikes... :D
well thats strage coz when i want to race my bike i use 2nd gear as max as possible but slowly. i get my bike into 3rd gear when it cross 40 and 4th when it is around 70 and then 5th around 90... :twisted:
thats my way to overtake Pulsar. i dont do this always as this is not the way to drive a bike and that too roads like pune...
:(
try using normal petrol without any boosters and you will feel difference while driving. its not about pickup or speed but about how smooth it goes.

anyway mickey when u r giving exams... best luck...

Mickey check for the gross weight not the kerb weight I have lost 1000 bucks so I m danm sure. Hey avi I agree that fuel booster help to smooth the engine and not the pickup or speed but my point is the low end torque which is not good as pulsar dtsi.

[sagar_mutha]
