I am looking for Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2758). Does anyone know where can I find it in Mumbai? Any other good 780G based mobo available in Mumbai?

[sanjuz]

I would like to personally shoot the Logitech guys involved with taking this decision:mad: :mad: :mad:


Could you shed some light on any particular Artis model ? :confused:


I feel the same :(

If you do not plan to play games/watch movies too loudly , you can go for X-540 ~ Rs. 5.5K else its G51 ~ Rs 11K - 12K :-(

[mayanksharma]

^^ +1 for that!

@royal,
Artis S7500R !

@royal,
Artis S7500R !

Do you have any personal experience on that ? The site does not post RMS ratings :( Any idea about the price ? :confused:

[mayanksharma]

well, i dont have any personal experiences on Artis peripherals as they arent available in Delhi! :|
However, the price tag ~6-6.5K is pretty nice!

True and in the past I have read pretty good reviews. However they have discontinued a good model S-10 Mini and I am not willing to take chances on other models. ;)

Maybe you can arrange for a Z5300 for me. :D Else I am going for X540 :-( since I have a small room. :(
It sells for approx Rs. 5000 in Kolkata. Is this a good price ? :confused:

[mayanksharma]

^^considering its a good 6 channel surround system and thats too from Logitech. Yep, thats a good price. One more thing, did u inquire about Altec Lansing 251??

Yes, my frnd had S10 from Kumar peripherals an yr ago. Even today, the system rocks his world. ;) I've seen S10 performance. To tell u truly, its LFE was the only thing, that caught my eyes everytime. One word..MASSIVE!
Z5300? Well, even i am looking for that speaker. I am also looking for Megaworks 550. Sadly, no words about them. :|
Anyways, i can lend you few from my setup. :D
However, i found some better alternatives...
Creative G500 (310W RMS) and ofcourse Logitech Z5500. (But their price....:|)
Someday, i'll go for them. Now only if my G90D fails to impress me, i'll change my mind. But thats not gonna happen soon. 500W from Sony is something!!
However, i am still running them on front setup. Can someone please help me setting them on 6 channel setup? I'll be really glad..

[GLADIATOR27]

This is a configuration that i got it from a shop!!!!!!

[INTEL CORE 2 DUO 2.66 GHZ (E6600)]=Rs:13,850(along with processor and motherboard)
[INTEL DG-33 MOTHER BOARD]
4GB RAM DDR2=Rs:4200
160GB SATA HARD DISK=Rs:2100
19" TFT LCD SAMSUMG MIST MONITOR=Rs:10,750
LOGITECH MM KEYBOARD & OPT MOUSE=Rs:750
SONY DVD WRITER=Rs:1400
NVIDIA 8600 GT GRAPHICS CARD 512 MB DEDICATED=Rs:5600
NUMERIC 600 VA UPS=Rs:1900

TOTAL 45,000


Is this configuration is good enough for my spending????:confused:

[tgpraveen]

buy bigger HDD

[varunprabhakar]

^^ yea buy bigger hdd considering u can get 250gb for around 2.4-2.5k

[DigitalDude]

@GLADIATOR27

Processor - get a E8400, cheaper and better (unless it was a typo and you actually meant Q6600)

Mobo - you are buying a dedicated gfx card so why do you need onboard graphics.. G33 has onboard.. so get yourself a P35 mobo

Monitor - theres very small diff in price bet 19" and 20" LCDs these days so get the 20" one ;)

HDD - put Rs 500 more and get a 250GB

gfx card - get the 256MB GDDR3 version instead of this 512MB DDR2 one (unless the one you said was a 512MB DDR3 but thats costlier than what you have quoted)

Smoke that board!! Its a shame for that processor if u use that board with it.
Get something like IP35-E.
Buy SAMSUNG SH-203B DVD RW (SATA) - 1250/-
With 4GB RAM, u gotta have to use Vista. Otherwise, its useless, Which also added up somewhat 4000/-
Save something on RAM too.
Now u already saved a couple of bucks. So u can easily get a 9600GT.

[DigitalDude]

^^^
nope.. for a 9600GT he needs 4.5k more than his existing config :D

[rahulmig]

Go for Ip35 Pro !@!

[j1n M@tt]

@Gladiator

NVIDIA 8600 GT GRAPHICS CARD 512 MB DEDICATED=Rs:5600



is this the DDR3 version??

[dOm1naTOr]

@GLADIATOR27 (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=42755)
get 2GB ram as of now nd upgrade later. And also get E8400 if for gaming.
And Abit IP35-E. SO there is enuf cash left for a sweet 9600GT which is far better than 8600GT 256 or 512 GDDR3.

[keith_j_snyder2]

^^^

Thats what i said. He can save on RAM and DVDRW and the potential purchase of Windows Vista.

@gladiator27
Q6600 is a little power hungry processor and when u overclock it, it requires more power.
A good suggestion would be E8200, fairly priced and since its a Penryn core it requires less power and 45nm gives u more potential to overclock.

I thing its more than enough to save much for a 9600GT.:)

[DigitalDude]

^^^^
ok I never knew u asked to change the processor :D now it tallies :p

Guys,

I am planning to buy a new PC by may mid. Budget is 40,000/-

Kindly suggest me good configuration..

Usage are programming (Web Server + Database Server + Application Server) & games & movies and surfing..

I am basically confused to choose between Quad or Duo.. Have asked this in another thread as well...

[realdan]

isn't this topics for posting latest prices? and not for asking questions relaing to config or others?

[mayanks_098]

Whats the price of (transcend/kingston) 1 gb and 2 gb ddr2 800MHz in Delhi? Or approximate price?

[uday9484]

hi to all forum members this is uday from HYD
i want to upgrade pc(cpu,MB,RAM,gfx)
As i was midcore gamer i don’t need all that pixel monsters because I was using my old 15” monitor that wont be upgraded right now.
I will be satisfied playing games at low resolution as possible.
So my budget is ~25k I know it is low but don’t want to compromise on all parts rather compromising on some of parts which can upgrade later on
So firstly motherboard this part won’t be compromised at any cost
The requirements are: should be futuristic ie support of pci-e 2.0(right now not going 2.0 gfx card) and all latest cpu’s
And don’t need any sli or crossfire support as well
And reading all ur reviews in this forum I shootout some mobo’s
XFX 650i, Asus p5k, msi p35 platinum, Abit ip35 pro and my query is does all this support pci-e 2.0 are not!
And what about next gen chips x38 x48 750i does all this comes in my bracket!

And for gfx I was very satisfied by XFX 8600GT or Asus 8600GT(at least for my req)
My query is: Is it wise to go for new one or second hand for above gfx cards
Because they are a bit old in accordance with market

And lastly cpu: guys give me the one which will fit in this budget.

Thanks for all u r valuable suggestions.

Processor -E8200 - 8000 /-
Motherboard- ABIT IP35-E -5500/-
RAM - 2 GB Transend 800 Mhz = 1950/-
Power Supply - Coolent Master 600W -3400 /-
Graphics Card - Rest u Can Invest Here !!
My Advice Go for EVGA Graphics Card !

[uday9484]

why all are suggesting abit ip35 E is it that much reliable ;)
how many are used ip35 E
in its website also they are not mention it is pci-e 2.0 complaint
i need pci-e 2.0 complaint boards

i have read in previous posts that XFX 8600GT has over heat issues is it for all cards!

[rahulmig]

ABIT IP 35 -E is Reliable
IP35 Pro is Reliable but it Cosr Rs 9k..Total as u have mention goes overpriced

[madhavan46]

I have a friend of mine who is having troubles with IP35-E though this mobo has good feature set for its price.

As for 8600GT you can opt for eVGA too (for 5.1k).

He is overclocking enthusiast. What are the optimal prices for these and which mobo would be better for 3.0ghz ocing.
Thank you in advance.

^^The processor is not good for OCing AFAIK... Get a quad core procy and you OC it a lot with the stock cooler...

But I've read many places it overclocks 50% on stock cooler. Just on the line with e2160.

So that confirms that the MSI OC card is cheaper and runs cooler than XFX.
So all of u guys who wants to own a 8800GT, read this. Go for MSI 8800GT! It is cooler and much better value for money!

Today went to Chandni to buy AOC 24" LCD monitor. Price quoted was Rs. 20500 + VAT. When I insisted that I can get a DELL for Rs. 21000 (didn't mention the road permit thing though ;) ) they started to tell how good AOC customer service is without giving any priority to the quality of the product.

AOC is comparatively unknown and its very hard to find any decent review :( .That its a good VFM is alright but if DELL was easily available (its priced less than AOC) then nobody would have opted for AOC :mad: .

Anyway I wasn't ready to shell out > Rs. 21K for AOC and decided against buying it. AOC should take note that better options are available though not as easily .:mad:

Today I called DELL once again and as usual they asked for road permit. When I said that one of my friends has got his lappy shipped to a shop (Microsolus) the cust rep , after putting me on hold for some time, replied that it can be arranged but I would have to pay VAT @4% :confused: . He said the total price would come close to Rs. 26000 :shock: The reason he gave was that in WB, we have to pay octroi that amounts to Rs. 3K (approx) :evil:. What s*** is this ? :mad:

[rutvijt]

Is Q9450 available in India? Wat Price?

[ajayashish]

Well i read someone in Chennai bought it for 14k... some one else bought it for 17k...

as per my talking with Itwares and PrimeABGB they dont have that processor yet... i dont know much abt this though

[confused]

Friends is this (http://www.indiaplaza.in/electronics/audio-and-video/PC11202007443559/all/logitech-z5300e.htm) offer for Z5300 good enough ? Or should I go for X540 @ Rs. 4800 ?good enough?? i'll tell you these prices havent moved downwards one bit in last 18 months.:shock::shock::shock: (hence not good)

just bcoz their products are good, bloody logitech keeping their prices up. the Z5500 has dropped to the $200(=8000rs) mark in the US. thats peanuts compared to the 20000+rs in India.

X540 seems much more VFM.
(btw using x530 now, no probs)

+275 million. (actually that was my intention.:()


EDIT:after reading this,[http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=821754&postcount=10], i believe, asking shops by visiting personally (as opposed to buying online), one can get a much better price.

[ajayashish]

^ Q9300 is far better!

Can u give some explanations as well... as i see... 9300 has 6mn cache and 6600 has 8mb... 6600 can be overclocked to get 3.6ghz am not sure abt 9300...

[itisravishankar]

Yeah, i hv d same question. Q9300 has .1 ghz faster clock speed but d cache is 2 mb less. And the price difference is 2k. So which one will give more value for money? Will the 45 nm architecture be able to compensate the cache and price difference

[sagargv]

u'll need to couple a very good mobo with q9300 to OC it well and exploit the potential of 45nm fabrication coz of 1333mhz fsb and hence low stock multiplier. .i havent seen the charts of q9300 vs. q6600 though .. so do see that b4 u make ur choice.

[ax3]

Q9300 .... is the latest & fastest ....

Regardless of 2MB lesser L2 Cache, Q9300 is 45nm(Penryn Core) which is better than Q6600 65nm, this gives more overclocking room and Q9300 requires less power and generates less heat.
Though overclocking is better in Q6600 because of more multiplier than Q9300 and Q6600 is better only if u have super cooling and no power requirements issues i.e monster PSU.

[ajayashish]

So with Corsair HX620 and TR Ultra120Extreme on Abit IXQuadGT

[Cool G5]

Q9300 is faster than Q6600 but not by a big margin.

[desiibond]

Guys, I have 5k in hand. What should I buy??

1) 8600 GT?? (currently using nvidia onboard 6100)
2) TFT display (currently using 15" samsung CRT that is 6yr old)
3) Sansa e260 4gig player (currently using 2yr old 1gig ipod nano)
4) Pinnacle PCTV vista kit + Tata sky (currently using pcto 110i that is incompatible with vista and local cable connection)

I play music and also play lot of games. watch TV only during big sport events like IPl, F1 races, UEFA Champions league. not even interested in anything else that comes in TV as I am not a movie buff.

[nvidia]

^^I think its best if you buy a new gfx card..
But you will have to extend your budget a little.. Dont buy the XFX 8600GT for any reason. Overheats a lot.
Since you dont watch the TV, leave the 4th option. Leave the 2nd if you dont care about how your computer looks. You choose between gaming and music:)

[desiibond]

^^ thanks buddy. yes. I am aware of that XFX microwave :)

asked for ASUS card and it's readily available for some 4k.

still am thinking to get a 17" display for some 6k so that I can play at better resolution. Or should buy 19" monitor next month to do justice to 8600GT. am I right?

[nvidia]

^^Dont get a 19" monitor. 8600GT cannot run the games smoothly at very high resolutions.
Stick to your current monitor. But if you have the money for a new monitor then go for it.
17" should be good enough.

[desiibond]

ah. okay. In that case, I will stick to my current monitor and get 8600GT.

thank you.

anyways, for movies, i have my T43's 1400x1024 :)

[nvidia]

^^ok.. But just make sure that the card you buy doenst have any heating issues.:)

[desiibond]

okie. how's this:

GIGABYTE GV-NX86T256H-ZL GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card (equipped with zalman fan)

600MHz core clock
256MB 128bit GDDR3
max res: 2560 x 1600
package content:

GV-NX86T256H-ZL
Driver Disk
User Manual
Game Disk & Manual
HDTV Cable
2 x DVI to VGA/D-sub Adapter

[nvidia]

^^It'll run cool since it has the Zalman fan. whats the price of the card?

[desiibond]

don't know yet. USA price is 89$. asked the dealer to find. Am ready to shell 6k for this card :)

looks good

[nvidia]

^^Did you ask the price for the ASUS card? Even that has better cooling...

[desiibond]

Only 8600GT *ards avialable are from XFX and Zebroni*s

Finally went for ATI HD 2600XT 512MB GDDR3 *ard for Rs.6k

Now, I have a problem.

Mother board is Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9.

This motherboard, tho*gh has P*I Express x16 slot, is not letting the Pro*essor to *se the graphi*s *ard.

In BIOS, the option is

"Enable when no PEG (P*i Express Graphi*s)" and "Always enable"

Even tho*gh I sele*t Enable when no PEG, it's still taking onboard graphi*s.

This is really irritating.

*an someone please provide a sol*tion for this problem.

I do see that the Graphi*s *ard's fan is rotating.

[keith_j_snyder2]

Comparing 8600GT and 2600XT, 8600GT beats 2600XT with big margin.
Here is a little solution for ur problem.
Remove display drivers.
In BIOS - Turn Display to PCI-E regardless whatever it says, And plug the display cable in graphics card.
Boot OS, and let it detect the graphics card and install latest display drivers.

This will hopefully will solve ur problem.


asked for ASUS card and it's readily available for some 4k.


For what?
4K for ASUS 8600GT?

[itisravishankar]

Might be 8500gt???

[desiibond]

^^. Sorry, yes. it was for 8500GT. But now they don't have any ASUS/Gigabyte/MSI cards in there.

yes. 8600GT beats 2600XT but not with a big margin. they are neck to neck. but since I got this one for 6k, i think its a decent buy as 512MB ASUS 8600GT should cost atleast a thousand bucks more.

[keith_j_snyder2]

Well if u have 6K then i suggest wait for 9600GSO, it will be cheaper than 9600GT and will perform same as 8800GS or may be better. The Palit and Point Of View 9600GT is already selling for 8800/- at itwares!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got my GPU working (took the motherboard to gigabyte service center, which luckily was just a block away from my house).

Thinking of going for a 17" display to do justice to the card :)

As of now, doing all kinds of benchmarks.

Do you guys think that AMD athlon 64 3000+ (single core) CPU with a 1Gb DDR400 RAM will be a bottle neck for this card if I start playing games on 1280x1024 resolution?

[nvidia]

^^Yes...
You wont be able to play games at the settings which your graphics card can handle if you have this processor.
Get a 5000+ atleast.

[desiibond]

^^ Finalized AMD X2 5200+, 2x1gig ddr2-800, decent motherboard.

Are we talking about same thing here? I guess not.
9900GTX (http://www.technewstime.com/hardware-news/nvidia-next-big-chip-priced) is a $450 card and that makes it a expensive and high end card.
I am talking about 9600GSO (http://www.technewstime.com/hardware-news/768mb-version-of-9600gso), its a mainstream card and will be available for less than $160.
So there is a huge price difference.

Well u can wait for 9900GTX but i am telling him to look at 9600GSO. I don't know about u but i don't have a deep pocket to burn for a $450 graphics card.

^^ Finalized AMD X2 5200+, 2x1gig ddr2-800, decent motherboard.

Dude if any little interest in overclocking then go for an INTEL setup. Cheaper and more power efficient at stock but can be overclocked at extreme.

If AMD then look for a Hybrid SLI enabled motherboard.

[desiibond]

Thanks buddy. The reason why I am looking for AMD is hybrid crossfire :)

I already have the 2600XT, which fortunately is working fine (just an issue with the metal plate that is inserted into the slot). Am able to play Transformers at 1152x900 resolution with full eye candy turned on :)

Moreover, The processor 5200+ X2 running at 2.6GHz(Rs.4.5k) is only some 15-20% less in frame rate when compared to E6750, which costs 8k. Since I do lot of overclocking, I can overclock this processor to match E6750 and can save around 3k rupees and after selling my existing setup for some 3.5k (AThlon 64 3000+, gigabyte mobo, 1gig ddr400), I will be able to buy a 17" monitor with the saved money. Along with this I can get a 790G chipset based mobo (preferable Gigabyte as their service center is just a block away from my house and their support looked top notch).

I really want to go for Intel but am on a budget as I have to buy a 17" display also.

[keith_j_snyder2]

Fair enough! But u can overclock Intel processor much more compared to AMD processor.
U can barely overclock 5200+ to 400MHz but C2Duo to almost double of its actual clock!

U got that 2600XT?
Good atleast u 'll be able to do Hybrid Crossfire.

[desiibond]

^^Yep. C2D is a superb overclocker. But, look that amount that I save. Save 3k-4k, which helps me to get a better 17" or even a 19" display. :)

I really really love to take that C2D but can't put 8k on the processor :(

[confused]

hey where can i get LOGITECH Z5500 for around 15k in mumbai?

[nvidia]

@desiibond: If you plan to do a lot of overclocking with your processor, then look for a motherboard in which you can change the clock multiplier.
You cant OC AMD processors much.
I can OC my 6000+ by about 150Mhz without changing the voltage and i dont see much difference in performance.

[kanne]

CAN anybody here give prices of gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H & Asus M3A-H/HDMI

Dude there is a whole range of processors for each price segment. No one is telling u to buy E8200.
There are other processors like E4300,E4500 in that price range. I suggest E2140 @ 2500/- and u can overclock it to more than 3Ghz.

U just need a good motherboard and decent PSU ( Which either way u have to have PSU).

Yes. Yesterday bought Dell 198WFP for some 9.8k. SO have to wait till next month to get new proccy mobo and RAM. Do you know any store that is now selling AMD hybrid crossfire supported boards?

and BTW, Found MSI NX8600GT 256MB card at Golcha Inter trade (SP Road) for 4.5k. Surprised to see this as earlier I couldn't find one. And more surprised to see that this shop is ISO certified :)

yes. can buy E4500 or E4300 but look at the FSB for these 800MHz compared to 1333MHz of E8400. Also, E4500 comes with 2Mb cache compared to 4Mb of E6750 or E8400

moreover, look a the link here:
http://www.trustedreviews.com/cpu-memory/review/2007/07/17/Intel-Core-2-Refresh-QX6850-E6850-E6750/p5

In gaming, as the display resolution increases, the difference in frame rate between E6750 and X2 5200+ comes down.

90% of tasks that I do on my desktop is gaming and music. Which means that the more I save on the proccy and mobo stuff, the better display I get.

For example,

I can put max amount of 6k on a motherboard, which means I can go no higher than G33 chipset for Intel but I can get 780G AMD board.

http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/amd-780g-chipset-review.ars/4
http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3111&p=18
G33 couldn't even play crysis and CoD4, supreme commander, company of heroes.

http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/amd-780g-chipset-review.ars/5
HD Playback:
For the same price or lower, I get AMD's 780G chipset based motherboard, which can work in hybrid mode with my 2600XT and provide much more FPS than just 2600XT in G33/P25 board.

Core2Duo is blazing fast but it seriously lacks the chipset and this is why AMD has performance:price ratio advantage.

For 6K u can easily go for P35.

DO NOT BUY NVIDIA GRAPHICS CARD!

Dude ur motherboard is MSI RS480 Chipset based, this motherboard do not perform well with nVidia graphics card.
I used to have the same motherboard and i keep the pain for almost 18 months and no one able to solve my problem, not even MSI people. Then somehow i came to know that the RS480 doesn't play well with nvidia graphics card.

Either change your motherboard or buy only ATi graphics card.

^^^ that is not yet launched in market from Intel. will be launched in 3rd Quarter of 2008..

[nvidia]

^^how many watts for a quad core PC??^^
Most quad-cores can run with 550W SMPS. But if you have a graphics card or if you are using multiple HDDs optical drives, then you will require more.

am planning to get Q6600 + 9600GT OC or SC Edition + Abit IP35-E

and a CM 500W SMPS... will it not suffice???

[paranj]

not at even idle^^ go for at least CM eXtreme 650 Watts

[kalpik]

^^ Why wont it survive?! Man 500W is enough power!

[paranj]

Q6600 recommands 500W and add a 9600GT and Abit IP35-E and ohh! hell need it!

[kalpik]

OMG! I have Q6600 with MSI P35 Platinum and 8600GT and the needle never goes above 100-110 watts :|

[itisravishankar]

Get a q9300 and the power supply wud suffice...... it performs better than q6600 and consumes much less power

It says its price is gonna be 530$ thats around 21000rs so is it the price at which it will be available in india?

[mastermunj]

Don't expect it to be sold at 21,000. because the prices in india are generally 15-20% higher than dollar-converted-rupee amount.... so you wud be able to get it at around 25-26k.

What are the latest prices for nVidia 8800GT, 9600GT and ATi HD3870? :)
Thnx...

[paranj]

8800GT 512MB - 15000
9600GT 512MB - Rs.9350
ATi HD3870 - 17000

[RexRazr]

8800GT 512MB - 15000
9600GT 512MB - Rs.9350
ATi HD3870 - 17000

*hiccups*

(much more than i thought...but thanx 4 the info)

[paranj]

hey dont cr. its MRP . retail will be 3000-4000 lower. BUT 9600GT is the retail one!

[desiibond]

reports show that 9600GT is just around 1%-2% slower than 3870. Which means there is no need to put that extra 7k for the 3870. Damn. why the hell is ATI keeping it's high product pricing in India. This is the emerging market. This will only spill trouble for them.

anyways, Better get 9600GT. Because once again the performance difference in 9600t and 8800g is not worth the extra 6k :)

[paranj]

ya get the 9600gt

[mastermunj]

even am planning to get 9600GT and raised my pc budget by 5K :D

[tgpraveen]

[pillainp]

Two very quick questions:

1) Are nVidia 680i SLI (not LT) boards available, and if so can anyone give me a price point for either the XFX/Asus solution or the eVGA 680i SLI (A1/T1; A1 preferred)?

2) Who are the dealers?

[paranj]

XFX 680i SLi is around Rs,5k

[Pathik]

pillain, Get a MSI P7N SLi. 680i are so last year.. :P

[pillainp]

I'm actually thinking 780i, most likely eVGA/Palit.

Just needed a few power related issues sorted.

512 MB DDR1 costs around 1.3k and 256MB DDR1 costs about 800(Both Transcend)

I use a Lite-on drive and i would recommend you to stay away from Lite-on.

You can get a 7300 for around 3.5k

[keith_j_snyder2]

XFX 680i SLi is around Rs,5k

Since when? I think u are talking about 650i Ultra, 680i is still Expensive!

[paranj]

^thanks master!

[azaad_shri75]

i got CM 500W extreme at 2700/- last saturday..

are there any good one in 1000-1500/- range?

[mastermunj]

^^ we all will suggest you not to go for cheap SMPS.. this could put your system worth 30k - 40k at risk... so spend 1000 more and get a better SMPS which will not just give good life to ur system but also enhanced performance..

[azaad_shri75]

^ advice accepted:)

[RexRazr]

what is the price of a good aftermarket cpu cooler (procy is amd x2 6000+, am2 socket)?

XFX - GeForce 8800 256 MB - 9600
Thats pretty cheap.. Is it the cheapest 8800 available?

[paranj]

Thats pretty cheap.. Is it the cheapest 8800 available?

Its cuz it has 256MB memory and ya its the cheapest 8800GT

[mastermunj]

8800 with 256MB RAM??? will it not bottleneck performance of 8800?? i believe it will be better to go for 9600GT with 512MB RAM in this case...

[paranj]

^egjactly:D my point

[nvidia]

Yeah.. 256MB will be a li'l too less for that card... 512 would be a better option even if it costs a little more..
