nfsfan · 19-08-2006, 08:03 PM

i am going in for a dual core .the different specs are:

x2 4200+
asus nforce am2 socket
xfx geforce 7300gt
1.5 gb ddr2 533mhz hynix
160gb sata seagate

the other config is
conroe(core 2 duo) e6300 1.86ghz
asus nforce chipset mobo

rest is same.since there is a little difference between the two,i wanted to know which is better?

and could anyone advise me on ram.ddr2 800mhz is not in india.can i install lesser ram (ddr2533) now and go for 800mhz ddr2 later?will the two work in sync?

The conroe is much better and comsumes less power. so good for over-clocking.with such a good gaming rig why are you opting for a 7300gt. I suggest you to for a minimum 7600gt or a 7900gt.

right now? i would go with the stable and reliable x2 939 module du to the fact that its been around for a while and all the bugs are worked out of it and there are mobos available which do not cost 10000 big ones

If you are getting for gaming, get a good graphic card, else even a X6800 is crap.
Get atleast 7600GT or 7900GT.

After that, if you can a good overclocking motherboard for Core 2 Duo, get it else get X2 3800 + Asus A8N E(939)

You may need to only use 2 modules with AMD systems, else problems

plz tell me what is the price of asus p5b mobo(intel p965 chipset) in delhi or for that matter anywhere in india?

Even at stock get the E6300.

Get 2 X 1GB Corsair Value Select(d9 chips) in the VFM segment, should be around 12k or so.
