Hi!

I want to upgrade my PC & budget is Rs. 15000. Here's what I need:
CPU- I prefer AMD 64bit. Which socket do you guys recommend? 939 or AM2? Recommend the processor speed etc.
Motherboard- Should have onboard graphics. No VIA/SIS plz. I checked MSI RS482 and K9AGM. Or do you recommend something else?
RAM- 512MB/1GB.
DVD Writer- Please recommend.
Power Supply-Please recommend

Please also quote the price of the hardware you suggest. Also it should be Vista ready. Thanks a lot!

PROCESSOR: AMD Athelon 3200+ (AM2) = Rs.4000/-
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS M2NPV-MX nF6150,V,16x, 6Ch S = Rs.4500/-
RAM: Transcend 1GB DDR2 533Mhz = Rs.3600/-
DVD Dual Layer: Lite-on or Sony 16x (oem) = Rs.1800/-
SMPS: Powersafe 400 watts = Rs. 1600/-
Total Rs.15500/-

PS. I don't the prices for the mobo's you have short listed that's why I gave you teh ASUS...also the ASUS I mentioned above has Nvidia 6150 for onboard graphics.

When you say Vista ready you are talking about being able to get AERO...well for AERO you need a graphics card and keeping in mind your budget the only one I can think of is XFX 7300LE 256MB (supposrting 512mb when u have 1GB sys memory) is around Rs.3000/- but for that you need to strech your budget to Rs.18500 total.
