USB 3.0 boards are still a rarity. Wait for sometime if you need SATA 3 & USB 3.

I have checked,there is no HD5450 @3.5K.
All HD5450 are 1Gb and they cost 4K+.
There is no 512MB DDR3 version of HD5450 in Kolkata.....
Even I could not found 512MB version and DDR3 version of HD4650 and 9500GT respectively.
Only 1GB and DDR2 version are available in the market.

A slight query here since it doesn't warrant a thread.

I currently am running the basic transcend 2GB DDR3 1333MHz on my ASUS 785G mobo, now since I plan to upgrade to Win7 64bit soon, ill be needing more RAM . I could sell this transcend stick off at a very reasonable price, so I am thinking of trying something else.

So how good is G.Skill's DDR3 stick compared to Transcend's ? G.Skill runs at 1600 Mhz compared to transcend's 1333, how big a difference would that make when it comes to image processing or slight gaming ? The price difference presently, is significant. If it reallly doesn't matter that much, ill stick to transcend.

Coolermaster cm690 transparent at primeabgb is Rs 4500/-
Corsair VX550W is Rs 5100...seems like a big price drop..few months ago,it was at 5800...

the board wil run the ram at lowered clock speed of 1333Mhz. to get 1600Mhz out of those stick you'll need to OC the proccy. so if u not into OC & all, get 1333Mhz.

^Yup, its the 890 chipset which is for hexacore CPU's.

yup. but wil also support any present generation AM3 proccy.

a new release from AMD -http://www.pcworld.in/product/review/gigabyte-ga-890gpa-ud3h

a bunch of boards based on AMD 890G & SB850 have came out. though 880G-SB810 & 890FX-SB850 yet to be launched. these boards wil bring sata3 to masses & totally displace the present 7-series chipset. though they are pretty much the same as 7-series + SB7*0.

just 890G have IGP at 700Mhz & can be OC to 1.2Ghz fairly easily.
DX10.1 support.
IGP named as HD4290.
SB850 gt sata3, 24lanes so Pci2.0 X1 is used.
no native USB3.0 support. woops. NEC chips are still used.

and fairly priced, however lacks on board dx11 support.

if it provides DX11, who wil get the HD5450 & all the sub 5k DX11 graphics cards? majority wil opt for 890G only.

[azaad_shri75]

^ yo you right, who will buy dx11 cards

well i heard only couple of such case. its was a big issue with 8500GT. not sure 9500GT have carried the same issue. well get the active cooled one. let see if others have heard about any such issue or was it limited to only 8500Gt.

A VFM video card @3K.....

MSI 4650 ATI Radeon (1GB DDR3) – Rs. 3,450/-
or 9500gt

[Revolution]

Thank you all for your replies guys.
But sorry none of the card were available.
All fcking hardware vendors were selling only 1GB version of these cards and they were over priced.....
Like yesterday Sparkle 9500GT 1GB(no 512Mb was available) DDR2 was @3.3K+ and MSI HD4650 1GB was @3.8K+.

[Cool G5]

No point in getting a 1GB version. It isn't needed for such a low end card.

[JasonPW]

Am selling a couple Sapphire Radeon HD4870x2 2gb DDR5 cards on amazon if anyone's interested.

last option, call thunder & ask if he got any card in stock or can manage to get u 1.

yah, no use at all. they not got enough fire power to utilize even 512mb well, forget 1Gb. & add to that all are crappy DDR2 version.

[azaad_shri75]

are new LAN cards made on PCI -Express slots?, as most of the new boards are having only one PCI slot, if at all we want to add some other cards?

[Xeno]

Hrm ... well there isnt an answer to that frankly, depends on the board ? My ASUS M4A785tD-V EVO has 3 pci slots and one pci-e slot ( and two GPU slots)

the other motherboard Biostar TA785G3 has two Pci and one Pci-e slots. I havent yet come across a motherboard which has only one pci slot.

Pci slots are still plenty useful, esp for stuff like tv tuner cards (internal) or a soundcard.

Pci-e has far less peripherals made for it (only some top sound cards and Pci-e based SSD) There hasn't been a definitive shift from PCI to Pci-e. :-S its kind of confusing really.

[azaad_shri75]

^ am going to buy any of these M/Bs - GA X58A - UD3R/UD5, both these have only single pci slot and other boards in similar category also have only one.

[Xeno]

LOL you're talking about these big ones ! Even that single PCI slot would be useless one there's a GPU in the nearby slots



So if you are going to go quad /tri GPU its pretty much useless to have even a single PCI slot in between. That's why the Pci slots have been sacrificed for GPU slots.

P.s the board length can't be increased to provide more slots as its already full ATX spec board.

[azaad_shri75]

^ no, would be using only one gpu and I need that pci slot at any cost, do you mean I cannot use it

[Xeno]

Oh not when you are using just a single GPU, even two might not be a problem, I'm taking about maxing out the no.of GPU's that can be coupled with the board, high end GPU's take up a lot of space.

With a single GPU you can certainly use the PCI slot since it wouldnt block the space physically. These boards are intended for gamers so they put in more than two GPU slots =O, thus reducing the no of PCI slots.
