^^Yes you can install Intel Pentium G620 Dual-Core(sandybridge) in Socket 1155 based motherboard i.e.
H61,H67,P67 and Z68.

[happy17292]

And can i install ivy bridge cpu on same motherboard in future?

Also how much performance boost can i expect from g620 as compared to dual core E5300 i used to own?

[d6bmg]

P67/Z68 will support ivy-bridge CPUs.

Seagate's Profitability Skyrockets Due to Constraints in Hard Drives Shipments - X-bit labs

Essentially, Seagate implies that the hard drive industry will never be the same and HDDs will not become commodity products like dynamic random access memory (DRAM) where customers dictate pricing.

^ No explicit comment, but this is not good.

JAS, in guide where we're suggesting Phenom II X4 965/975 CPUs, I think that can be updated with Phenom II X4 960T 3.3 GHz Zosma processors which are basically Quad core Thuban processors. Reasons are:-
i. Price is in the same range. It is available in Flipkart @ 6.8K
ii. Better Thermal and voltage management, common to all Thuban over Deneb.
iii. Support for AMD Turbo Core Technology
iv. Very high chance of unloking it to X6 1065T, 3.3 GHz 6 core.

Before I will even look into your thread, I would like to ask you one question.
Is it possible for you to wait for 2 more months? Cause new gen Intel processors (i.e. Ivy bridge) is coming with new chipsets and it is rumored that they have better overclocking potential than present gen sandy-bridge processors combined with better performance.

Or, if you can not, then I will be more than happy to suggest you configuration.

ooo...ok i will wait .thank you for this info.I want to buy everything latest that i wont have to suffer with it in future when games will run sooo slow.i hope that acer and BenQ 27" 3d lightboost monitors also become avialable here.I have exams too in march.so i will buy it in the last week of april.hoping that the price of doller also reduce that time.
btw I am so excited about this 3d thing.is it any good like i saw it in Inox forum or in science city ?

I don't think there is any member in here who have 3D setup. Anyone?

[divyam]

what do you guys think of the newly launched dell alienware x51... should i go for it or assemble 1...!!?

[d6bmg]

^ waste of money. Assemble.

alienware = best for those persons to whom hardware is like alien.

[divyam]

But This 1 i guess is a good deal.. check out the specs
New! Alienware X51 Desktop ? High-Performance Gaming Computer | Dell India

and also you get an year of warranty... a console sized tower, reliability of alienware, and no hassle in assembling..!!And on top of that a good performance.
heres a resonable comparison
Dell Alienware X51, SFF PC Gaming Refined - HotHardware

[d6bmg]

^ If you really wish to buy this, then no comment, end of discussion.
But if you want some comparison, then I will say:
A rig with i5-2320, GT 545, 4GB 1333MHz RAM, 1TB HDD and only added/branded with Alienware logo, design isn't good for spending 50K and that too without any monitor.
I think your main purpose is gaming. GT545 is a entry level graphics card with which you can't play any latest game even at medium setting at 1080p resolution.
Build a new rig at 50K, and you will get some good vfm components.

You know, what you can get in 70k budget ???...


But the alienware x51 offers you a very much low end card, paired for 1080p gaming, which in other words called as SH!T. The only advantage here is the service, 1TB HDD & Looks.....Compare then config one to one & find the difference. Compare it yourself.

@d3: Price of 2500K is still 13K? I mean is that latest? Money: dollar have come down to 48.3. So I think we should expect decrement in price.

[nilgtx260]

^^ u remember what I said regarding HD 7970? when it was launched @ 35K the dollar rate was rs.51.50, now it comes down to rs.48.60, but still it costs same..why??? as far I am concern MD computers quoted 12.5k for i5 2500K 1 week ago...

[d6bmg]

Yeah, I remember that. I'm asking now because, I was waiting for the weekend to go by and then some decrease in price. 13K is too much for 2500K IMO.
