[atish]

Reason :- It dosen't support AMD processors.

[atish]

look I am just trying to get an estimate..... cuz it was a foolosh staff whom my dad paid to bring this board..... I will go to nehru Place to check out the price difference between Intel and AMD cpu the will decide to sell it or not.... Any tips.. ?? should I sell & buy an AMD supporting Board or buy and Intel processor.

[paranj]

Intel is the best

[atish]

you sure ?? Is there any dual core for bout 2K ?? other wise I'll have to cut out on my gfx:(.

[paranj]

^^ya I think the E2140 is available in under 2k. Which GFX card are u gonna get?

[harryneopotter]

u can buy E2160 from intel if it supports .... best bang for ur bucks .... approx 2.5 k

[atish]

thanx will hit nehru place soon.... btw I am planning to got for a XFX gt 8600 .... new or second hand don't matter.

U can get new mercury 86gt(made by ecs) for 3k.

Mercury crd is great vfm. Bt has 1yr wrnty. Btw u can get x2 4200+ fr 2.6k

U can get a e2140 or e2160. Bt since they wnt/mere ovrclk on dir board. no pt in investin in e2140. Get a new mobo. Geforce 8300 boards r releasd. Check those.:)

Best budget combo wud b biostar p35 board 4.4k+e2160 2.4k. E2160 can ovrclk to 3ghz+ on dis mbo

[atish]

nooo not onboard .... I will upgrade my gfx from time to time and yeah I'll now look for the mercury card. ;) Thanx people.

EDIT: I don't know how to overclock:oops: but I know It involves risk of hardware failure due to extra heat.

@johnjix -- what language were u speaking in?

Anyways ya Mercury's 8600GT is good. Whatever u do,get the 256MB GDDR3 version and not the 512MB DDR2 version. E2140 or E2160 are very good budget CPUs and will overclock very well and run at humanly temperatures.

[johnjjx]

E2160 canb overclkd to 3 ghz with ease on stock vid n hsf. U jus need 2b careful. Thts al it takes

[paranj]

^^dont take it upto 3GHz in one go. Just keep it at 2.8GHz. Its the safe range! :)

[johnjjx]

^^it varies frm piece to piece. U cnt say 2.8ghz is safe. Depends on stepin, vid, batch, cooling etc;-) m talkin tech u find difficulty 2 get me?:-P

[paranj]

^no u use so much short forms:D And ya u are right, and thats why they say OCing is trial and error:)

[pankaj4687]

if u want low cost mobo then hv a look at zebronics 7050
which is available at around 2100/-
its really good mobo with nvidia 610i chipset,
8 chanel audio,
nvidia 7050 graphic onboard upto 512 mb 4
5 nm processor support which is next big thing in processor technology

celeron to core duo,core 2 quad ,core 2 extreme support

ddr2 800 mhz ram support upto 4 gb
n also 3 yrs warranty


looks really nice

[atish]
