6) Iball Cabinet stock 400W SMPS --1200
7) HD 3850 for 8k or HD4850 for 10k
This config will run most of the games at low settting and run Vista without any hiccup, thanks to the Dx10 onboard GPU.

low settings...then adding HD4850 wud run @ high settings am i ryt ??

X3 has 3 cores so...will it really give performance boost in high-end games such as
crysis.....as compared 2 intel C2D

@ Iron man :: The Zotac GF 8200 is for AMD platform .

XFX 630i is a no go . It's not available here plus the review by oc club said the mobo was just okay. And has 2 yrs warranty as compared to min 3 years by every other manufacturer.

HD 3450 bought @ 2000 although not actually delivered pending the arrival of XFX 630i within 4 days.. . very less chance though

Plzz any other board with good IGP please tell . Going out to market again now .

As regards Open Moko i think that u shud wait till september-december for a stable fware to be out plus the price will go down (diwali). So far im loving it very fast, good connectivity wifi , touchscreens responsive but i love tchscreen phones anyway.
A little expensive at 20000 but worth the price if u r into modding . Will try & post a review after i assemble the comp.

Never mind; my agent will talk to you for the legal formalities. Copyright Infringement; you know... . But, we can settle that between ourselves, 100,000 USD for the moment please.

@mehra.rakesh
20,000 is kinda expensive for an Open-Source Phone, though as they are starters and as you can do almost anything with it; it's okay, but then again its on higher side. How's signal reception and calling? After all; thats what a cellphone is made for.

I cancelled the order for XFX 630i & bought the Asus HD 3450 256MB for 2100 Rs.

So , i have decided on buying the 630i based board either its the Zotac N73PV/PU 7150... the Zotac one seems too good with Firewire + Raid + """ Specially 5 years warranty """ <<--- that's the real deal sweetener . That too for less than 3000 . There are too models N73PU/PV . The PUone has HDMI & SPDIF while PV one doesn't have rest are same .

Also i have kept choices open for XFX 630i & Palit N73PV.

Again Thanks for helping guys ....

+1 for PU the more the ports and funcions mobo has the better it is

Zotac is good too. You cant go wrong there

[mehra.rakesh]

Yeah & its inexpensive too . So zotac shud be the final choice .

How's the build quality of Zotac , it shud IMO be good considering they are giving 5 yrs warranty .

Anyone has any experience of it .

[acewin]

Zotac and Palit both are good.

[Psychosocial]

Yus, Zotac and Palit both are comparatively good. Zotac is a new player in the Indian markets while Palit has been around for quite a while. That dosent mean Zotac performs bad. Its a very good company with top-of-th-lot product line. You cant go wrong with either of them. And the chipset (NVIDIA 630) is really a good budget solution. All in all, buy any one of it. I recommand Zotac due to some personal reasons and taking the point that Palit's customer service is a little off the mark in consideration.

Crysis is comparatively old and was optimised more for the C2D flatform (more frequency ). But newer games are being optimised for the multi-cores as well as the C2Ds so you will surely get a performance boost.

[mehra.rakesh]

Thanx guys . Now surely going for Zotac N73PV 7150 & not N73PU 7050 as i don't need HDMI out . Plus it's cheaper with better GPU.

[Psychosocial]

^Yus. Good choice.

[mehra.rakesh]

Hey thanks guys . As it turns out my shares went up and sold quite a few of them . Only if i had waited for a while i cud have bought a better mobo . But hey no probs anyways .

Again thanx a lot .....
