[eagle_y2j]

Go for intel but if possible try to get 820 processor

[vijay_7287]

how on earth will u tht those combos for 8.5k... second hand or something???

[plsoft]

They r new mate, have enquired in Nehru Place.

[rahul_becks23]

it should not even be 8500 bucks................it should be less than that

[plsoft]

thnx for the reply guys.
@rahul- Not much choice when vendors don't want to sell cheap. Nways will try to bargain hard when buying them.

[Pathik]

get the AMD combo...

[Stalker]

no gaming......choose intel combo

[rahul_becks23]

@plsoft-
yeah,man............negotiate the best u can

[vysakh]

go for the AMD one. surely worth it

[rahul_becks23]

it surely will be worth it............but it depends on what he wants to do with his PC.....for him.......a pentium is a better option

[plsoft]

Thnx again guys. But my confusion seems to grow more. While considering mobo for the same price range, amd's board seems to have better features n thus upgrad'bility (though not much) than the intel based ones. Moreover, i don't want to invest extra bucks on cooling so m a bit hesitant on pentium d. Am i being reasonable? Please help, again, n thnx for yur help n patience.
