I think, SLI is useless rightnow as graphics card combo would cost u 50 k,
also the technology is still raw with many driver issues.
Right now it is better to go for

AMD 64 3200+ and NF4 based motherboard.
You can easily save 10 k in that. performance difference is miniscule.

Go for Acer 17" LCD monitor. It is similarly priced as the monitor u
mentioned.

Floppy Drives are thing of the past. Go for 512 MB Corsair Pen Drive. Expect to shell out anything 3 k extra.
The RAM module u r buying seems too expensive. Invest in 2 512 MB DDR 400 Transcend Drive and save around 1.5 k

Invest in DVD Writer only if u really need it. Otherwise a Combo Drive would do just fine.

Last but not the least, invest all the money saved above in a good Graphics Card.
I suggest u Gainward 6800 GT PCI e 256 MB, it will cost u around 30 k.

Now,Some NEW Price Quote from NEW Vendor@Guwahati

1) AMD 64-bit Athlon 939 3500+ = Rs. 12,500

2) ASUS A8N SLI Premium = Rs.11,500

3) XFX 6800 PCI-X 256 MB = Rs. 23,000

4) Kingston Ram 512x2 MB = Rs. 5,500(Approx)

5) Logitech wireless MX Duo = Rs. 3,500

&................final configuration Price Quote 2 be for the whole system & other components 2 be made avilable by Tomorrow.

Now,IS these Prices Fair Enough? or r there more pricing mileges that I should push for.

Basically,the price my New Vendir is quoting is almost similar 2 those listed by Active infocom.com,mumbai,So ARE THESE PRICES by DEFAULT @ MUMBAI(the Best Prices there???),
chk these

for CPU's:

Bye & thanks

One Important Thing,
Can I make the System run on Stock,if I cant make expenses for Spl cooling for OC,apart from Good Thermal Paste & 3 fans,as of Now,for SURELY,I am becoming a pooper after this Hefty Deal,without any penny left further for adequate cooling systems.

What do u all say,can this Biggy RUN ON STOCK ALONE???

[supersaiyan]

i very strongly suggest that u wait for crossfire to come out as it is much better than sli. plus dude if u r buying such a killer config why the hell go for xfx when u have gainward or even leadtek. as a matter of fact why bother with 6600gt. go with powercolor x800xl. the reson i am recommending u the x800xl is that -
1. it has a performance equivalent to a 6800gt.
2. nice overclocker.
3. can be used with crossfire technology.
for more info on crossfire go to ati.com.
plus get if u r getting 1gb of ram, i suggest going for 2*512 mb ram to take advantage of the hyper transport feature.
i hope this helps.

Yes, you can go for the X800 XL from Powercolor for the reason stated above. It has also a 256bit memory interface and memory clock is around 980Mhz DDR3, others plz correct if I am wrong. Also it is somewhat cheaper than the 6800GT. It should cost around 18k I think whereas the 6800GT costs 24k-28k depending on the brand.

And I feel the crossfire technology is superior than SLI.

[Ringwraith]

where are the crossfire enabled motherboards! he'll have to wait a long time b4 crossfire technology comes to india!

[TechGuru#1]

what abt the price Yaaaar?
i.e the New Prices.........I 'm quoting(from the New Vendor)?

***Please Help me in this Area foremost,then on technology***

hey,Do understand,If I go on Chasing after TECHNOLOGY as per say,I can NEVER EVER Build any system at all !!
Remeember,I don't Live in The STATES of USA,but one F**** statte of ASSam,where SLI tech-to say the lease is the BEST & Most Newest.
So why do u Ppl,insist me on..waiting more for further advances in Technology,when the curent tech r hard 2 find out here. & NEVER IMAGINE that i am BUILDING A KILLER CONFIG,I'm only Building a HIGH-END System,that2 on F***ing PREMIUM prices,due all sort of Bottlenecks of being located @rather the back-bracnches of the IT-enabled states of India.

So,just Cut out "crossfire" & other thing & practically make a Reality Check & advise thereby!!!

So,once again,What i said,DO THE NEW PRICE @ My NEW IT VENDOR makes any GOOD DEAL or agin i have 2 look for better price quoute from anothet Guy
(Beoz,Damm,Many of the TECH ENCLAVE Community Guys,including Funkymonkey & others seem 2 have their last say of the BEST PRICE Procurements from their Vendors)

So,If in the above config(Not Changing Now) what should be Best Prices,Lamington Road,etc,where I can GET the BEST PRICES for the products(particularly any Specific Vendor,where i can Order directly from Here @Ghy>>NAME THE SHOP WITH PHONE NO.)

HEY Ppl,dont make GO ROUND & ROUND IN CIRCLES,please help & advice something on Ground Realities,I AM TOO TIRED Going that WAY,mabe,too frustrated 2 get one simple PC Home!!!

Hope U Understand Now,Sorry for any Hard-talks!
So again,HELP,if u can!






***One More Imp thing,Will this NVIDIA Sli technology not going to be around for any further time,i,e the support for the SLI platform,or r they going 2 evolve SOON something much different,So will I be left in the lurch,investing in SLI( for frankly,i was only investing in SLI,tech bcoz,was thinking 2 invest a 2nd graphics card latter or atleast had the Chances of adding one latter there) SO WILL I BE SLI-SAFE In future-techwise?(Damm,for last abt 2 yrs ,i was eyeing the SLi-Tech & Now the ATI Croosfie,Now Where do i Look Beyond,I would n Spare the Tech-Guys,,THEY MAKE EVERYONE "MAD",including themselves for evolving tech-so fast,I WOULD PRACTICALLY KILL ME,iWITH MY OWN HANDS now,Damm KOB they R!)

[Ringwraith]

LOL ur mostly right...Ive observed many ppl on the forum who just give advice just for the sake of giving it, even if they have the very least idea abt it
sorry if i offend someone..but this is a general comment not to be taken personally

back on topic the prices by ur dealer are indeed somewat higher than say mumbai..but I guess we should allow that since u are in guwahati..
i hope u are getting the 6800GT for 23k and the 6800 vanilla!! if he's giving u 6800 vanilla its time u looked at a different dealer!

abt SLI , nvidia is continously improving drivers and support for newer games, moreover forceware rel80 is supposed to infuse new life to SLI tech!
http://theinquirer.net/?article=26276

however SLI is only particularly useful with high end cards...the higher end the better! its like
2*6600GT ~ 6800GT
2*6800GT ~ 7800GTX
so its always better to get a single more powerful card! however if u are short on cash right now (like me ) SLI offers a good upgrade path of adding another GPU when the prices come down significantly

[abhijit_reddevil]

Hey, I only wanted to suggest one X800 XL (not two), but since someone mentioned about crossfire, that's why the topic came up of upcoming technologies and debate regarding SLI vs. Crossfire. The X800 XL is cheaper than the 6800GT but gives performance at par with 6800GT. You notice the difference between this and others at higher resolutions.

[wolfff]

Ok dude ur gfx card is way tooooo overpriced. 6800GT for 15k in mumbai
http://www.activeinfocom.com/p-detai...scid=142&id=50 Should be 1-2k more in your city i guess.

[bunny01in]

Hi man I am from Guwahati and I would like to tell you that the best price for your goods ( in Assam) can be got from Mahalaxmi Infotec , this shop is located just besides the overbridge to cross from paltan to panbazar. The shop is near the Kodak shop (left side of the bridge when you come from Paltan)
The price given to you is high coz I had bought 512 Mb DDR400 ram from Jorhat for Rs2400 ( it is cheaper in Guwahati)

wat crap!! 2 months back the zebronics guy told me 6800GT was for 23k how can prices fall down by 8k in 2 months!
moreover my 6600gt extreme is retailing at the same prices as 2 months back when i bought it

[TechGuru#1]

HOPE
http://www.activeinfocom.com/p-detai...scid=142&id=50

is NOT MIS-QUOTING the Price,
E-Mailing them(Active-infocomm) anyway.

Thanks a million "Wolff" BTW
(Any1 having similar Latest P-Quotation abt XFX 6800GT)???

[Ethan_Hunt]

This site claims to sell the Leadtek's 6600GT TDH Edition for 12,995 and then a 6800GT for 15k How in the hell can there be such minor difference in the prices?
Even Digit's review quoted the price of the XFX 6800GT to be around 23k.This site is suddenly giving me the Deja-vu of those cheap Bazee deals Better get things confirmed from this site.

Ya, I also think they are misquoting the price. However, waiting for the feedback, please post it in the forum. Also they are qouting A8N-E for 7995 whereas in deltapage it is 6600. There is something wrong somewhere...

[supersaiyan]

wht is the price of the 6800gt in delhi. pls tell brand also. and source

[goobimama]

Wireless Mice suck big time. They are the worst. You have to change the batteries every few weeks, the signal gets cut off after just about two feet and the one I have off-tracks. I am now going in for the Apple Mighty Mouse. I tried it out and it is simply superb..
