am looking for a GUD graphic card ..(PCI -E compatible)
the budget is 5K...
th recent cards review had cards as low as 1500Rs..
so i guess 5K is a decent budget...

plz suggest a card which s available in chennai...
n possibly th store location too...

[jebarson007]

I would suggest that you extend your budget by few hundreds. For the price you can get Zotac 9600 GT AMP. The AMP version has a better clock speed compared with GT version.

Palit is also a better option. You can go with these cards on 9600 chipset.

Also guys if you find a better option, post them.

Intel Desktop Board DG43NB (5.1 Dolby, supports upto 800 MHz RAM)- 5000
OR
Desktop Board DP45SG - 8000 (supports 1333MHz FSB; you can take full advantage of processors and RAM mentioned below; 7.1 dolby surround)

Intel Q9550 (2.8GHz, 1333MHz, 12MBL2) - 11,500
OR
Q8400(2.6GHz, 1333MHz, 4MBL2) - 8,500

Transcend 2 / 1333GHz (DG43NB Mother board may not support 1333Mhz) - 2500
Seagate SATA 500 GB - 2400
OR
1 TB - 4000
Samsung DVD Writer - 1000
Zebronics / iBall Cabinet with 750W SMPS -2000

Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard and mouse - 600

For monitors please refer Digit August magazine AOC is rated the best. you can get 17" for 5500

Optional
Creative 5.1 speakers - 3,500
OR
7.1 - 6,800

Both motherboards has DVI 1 ports, so a graphics card is not neccessary unless you are a gamer or multimedia craver.

If you are selecting the best config mentioned here, you will end up around 27k

WHICH s the best place to buy electronic goods in Chennai..
DONT say Ritche St...even a chid knows tht...
This s not an add or something.. but its k to mention th shop's name..
so, ppl plz mention th stores wer U found reliable service n a variety of products...

Am not kidding.. most of the times we get into Ritchie St asking for some gadget we found in digit,th dealer says "ennadu pa athu? appidi onnum ingai illai...!"

Hello hk81189
You have three good shops in ritche st they are as follows
1.Supreme computers,
2.Mahaveer computers,
3.sangam computers.
these three provide a excellent service in there shop itself and they check the products there itself


Yes me too find the problem of gadget on digit but i got some things here
better you can try these shops

[jebarson007]

Well you can add Oasis to the list. I always buy from them but it's always better that you get the rates from at least 3 shoppe when you are out for buying something. And I must agree that you wont find any geeks in richy st; and that's the reason we are in digit forum so that we enlighten ourselves.

I have seen vendors going to the next extend saying "Sir atu failure model. so we don't have stock of it." Believe me once a vendor said the same for the intel D945RY mother board i was enquiring.

[hk81189]

yeah..
Supreme computers s gud.. i have been there. I'll check the others too..

[hk81189]
