upgrade from intel celeron

pscraja · 17-06-2005, 12:44 PM

The intel celeron 1.2 ghz system I had crashed due to a motherboard problem. I want now to upgrade to either intel p4 or AMD athlon.

Can someone who has experience in dealing with both intel and AMD systems to suggest which processor and matching motherboard I should go in for? I am using the computer only for home office use.

Welcome "pscraja" to the digit forum.

Try looking at other threads to get a feel of some current computer configurations doing the rounds in this forum.

Happy hunting !!

Also above 2 questions are very important
1) Your budget
2) Applications u will be using on new pc

U have specified that u will use the system for office use.
And haven't specified the budget!

PROCESSORS:

1)AMD Sempron 2200+ 32-bit Rs 2300
2)AMD Sempron 2400+ 32-bit Rs 2800
3)AMD Sempron 2600+ 32-bit Rs 3800

MOTHERBOARDS:

1)ASUS A7V400-MX SE Rs 2500
2)ASUS A7N8X-VM Rs 4750
3)Gigabyte GA7VM400-M Rs 2100

I would suggest AMD Sempron 2400+ and ASUS A7V400-MX SE (Rs 5300)

..And also if u dont have DDR-RAM get Two sticks of Hynix 256MB 400Mhz DDR RAM for Rs 2500(Two sticks to implement dual channel)(Ram Prices are really low today)

If u have more budget u can get latest AMD 64-bit Processors.

The Above Configuration can satisfy the most of basic pc users neds but not high end gaming in which i do not believe.You Can Change the Celeron Processor to a P4 2.40 Ghz For Rs 6350/- But The Factor of Heat Will also Increase.Please Note that a TV Tuner Inside a PC Can be used only for short time and not as a complete replacement as a tv as in my own pc while watching tv in pixel view tuner card in Windows Me Upon Changing the Channel The OS Got Jammed and Upon Hot Restart the Mother Boards Main Chipset 845 got burnt.hence please use TV in a PC Judiciously.
