Hmm... 3K for better OC and AM3 Support.

AM3 CrossFireX motherboards not come below 6K mark yet.

Lets not forget the fact that AM3 is restricted to DDR3 1333MHz single channel or 1066MHz Dual Channel. Yeah, DDR3 1066MHz is definitely cheap right now, but Rs. 1000/GB still nowhere close to DDR2 800MHz giving Rs. 500/GB for the performance gain.

But DDR3 is switching to new manufacturing technology and going to breach DDR2's price in a few months. AMD SB850 going to fix a HORRIBLE bug in SB7xx and launching at end of year.

AMD Going to launch Athlon II series of 45nm K10 processors which lack L3 cache and come filthy cheap and have 45W Quad Cores among them.

If I get DDR2 now, it will end up like my first PC purchase when I bought DDR1 when it was about to be phased out and stay backward.

****! The more I feel like upgrading, the more I feel like NOT upgrading. Core i5 launch not making things better either.

I think the only good configuration right now which is future proof (due to being end of age, cheap and hence retains value after few years) is Intel E5200 or E5300 or E5400 CPU, DDR2 800MHz memory and a G31 motherboard and perhaps Radeon HD4770.

suggest an easily available widescreen LCD display below 9000.
It should be suitable for reading the webpages without eye strain.

The AOC model I hav brought hav contrast and brightness setup profiles for Internet, Movies, sports mode, text mode and so on.

X3 720: 7.6k
E8200: 8.7k

1. is 7750 from the batch which can be unlocked to a quad core ? if yes, SWEET.

2. E5200 price seems to have dropped from 3.5K. But I am waiting for Athlon II to arrive instead.

I was planning to get this 2033SW, but brought AOC 917Fwx XHD monitor with 1680x1050res. Its seems to hav better quality display and vfm than 2033SW.

[Krow]

I plan to upgrade my pc within a week. I need a cabinet full of hardware which would serve my needs for video editing (Premiere or even FCP). My budget is 30k and i need a C2Q based rig. I don't need a cabby, speakers, monitor, kbd or mouse. Will a 4 RAM slot motherboard help me or should I go 4 one with 2 slots?

And apparently my 5 month old seagate 500 gb HDD died out yest... Is there any hope of recovering my data? If i connect it to my mobo individually, my pc doesn't boot, while i can boot successfully using my 160 GB Hitachi, which is almost 3 years old. When I connected the 2 drives in parallel, some fumes started coming out of the 500 GB drive. I disconnected immediately.

Plz help guys...

The AOC one has 16:10 aspect ratio but SAMSUNG 2033SW has 16:9. The difference between these 2 aspect ratio is that 16:9 gives u more wider display area. And the new universal standard is 16:9.
U can check the web for this! Just because 1680X1050 has have more pixels doesn't means it is better, 1600X900 is the better replica of 1920X1080 (the full HD).

Hardware price list/spec sheet

I need a mobo for max 7k based on either P45 or P43 Intel chipsets. M not looking for overclocking, only stability. I prefer ASUS or GIGABYTE. I askd a couple of local stores for an ATI HD 4770 and they sd it is for abt 8.6k( Palit ). I need a good VFM GFX card. The brand isn't the issue, but performance and VFM matter a lot. My budget for the GFX card is 7k.

Plz suggest guys. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For recovering data from hdd, goto lynx-india.com, and get the owner's contact details. He does all repairing/recovering works. Also Palit 4770 costs 6.5k. Goto techenclave.com's market forum. There in dealer's paradise you'll get the best prices for almost all computer hardware available in India. If you're only looking for stability and not overclocking, even intel platform is good for it.

How much extra per dollar does Katmandude take? Any idea?

Now a days, it finally costs 70 rupees per dollar. You'll get almost same price for most items in growing competition in local dealers if available.
