[help_me]

hey all,

m buyin a PC (i know u all have one, but i didnt)

this is my config..

Intel P4 2.8
512 MB Ram
80 Gb HDD
iBall Cabinet, Keyboard, Mouse
17" Color Monitor
PCI Express Mother Board and display card
Combo Drive
Floppy Drive
Modem


gettin it at just a touch above 30K ..

and yes i use softwares like photoshop, ilustrator, corel , dreamweaver.. so is it okie.. ...

Sounds frightfully expensive for 30k. That too, you are from Mumbai. I bought almost the same config for a friend of mine 9 months ago, and it costed 28k at the time, and Goa is not the best place for computer hardware.

Also, if you are going in for photoshop, and other DTP software, then I suggest you better go in for 1 Gig of RAM (512x2), preferably transcend. Also, why the 80 GB hard drive? a 160 would be better suited.

Also, is that processor an HT processor? HyperThreading gives good performance in Photoshop. Better still, go in for dual core CPU.

somybody's looting u......
get something sensible... read around the forum there are many threads asking configs... and then u'll see what to buy at what cost...

I dunnot about intel costs but i can make an equivalent AMD config for 23000-24000/-

[coolendra]

instead of buying wat u r buying i wud suggest u go for ::

Intel P4 2.8 ---- instad go 4 AMD 64bit 3200+
512 MB Ram ---- is enough.......
80 Gb HDD --- -- do --
iBall Cabinet, Keyboard, Mouse ---- try logitec cordless mouse & keyboard,
17" Color Monitor ---- O.K
PCI Express Mother Board and display card ---- if u can then go for 6600 GT 256 mb ram
Combo Drive ----- dude jst go for a DVD Writer .....
Floppy Drive ---- Who cares ???

neways - this all shud cost around 32000 or 33000 chk local prices .....


wat say guys ??????

I find AMDs to be very unstable. I've recommended AMD to many of my friends and all of their PCs seem to have problems...Whereas all the intel ones (with the original intel board) are rock steady...

U r being cheated, VISIT www.mahavir.co.in to know the Latest price of computer peripherals( If u r frm mumbai)


CAll them for better price

[shaunak]

try to buy individual componants from ppl at lamington rd or any comp shop then get it assembled by engineer who may take 800/- at the max
itl b cheaper 4 u.

[iBrood]

Actually, I find AMD's more stable and my X2 is awesome with multitasking.

ibrood, which X2 U got, & whats the price

Soham, a 6600GT will help with nothing in Photoshop or illustrator, even a 6200 is enough, just get 128 MB atleast for Illustrator CS2

Your config is good, stable, however, hyperthreading is the key for Photoshop & Illustrator, get atleast a Pentium 4 630 with Intel 915GAV motherboard, remember the GAVL doesn't have PCIe slot for upgrading graphics

Add atleast 1 GB RAM, 512 MB will run out like air when work in illustrator & multiple pages, along with multiple color swatches

I would suggest you to go for at least 1GB RAM and definitely a DVD Writer.... Combo drives are on their way out, and you get a DVD Writer for just a few 100s more...
