If u dont want to buy G-Card,then u have to go for Asus A7N8X-VM
version since it has an onboard GeForce 2 class GPU.

If u plan to buy a G-Card,then go for Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe or A7N8X-X which dont have onboard GPU but have more features such as onboard LAN,RAID,Sata etc.These ATX form factor mobos.

A7N8X-VM doesnt have LAN,SATA,RAID and it has fewer PCI slots as it is a Micro ATX mobo.

Visit this topic to get more info on these mobo and the ones from MSI and GigaByte.

Why dual drives,go in for a single Sony CDRW/DVD combo drive model CRX320A/E.
If u want dual drive go in for a Sony CD Writer and a DVD Rom.

Ethan_Hunt · 31-12-2004, 04:37 PM

Impossible Under 45k Mate....

Lets Take The Prices Shall We

Roughly ie)
Amd Athlon Xp 3200+ =Rs.5,500
ASUS A7N8X-D(DELUX) 200 FSB =Rs.8,500 (Approx)
512 x 2 DDR400 Kingston Ram = Rs.3,200 (Aprox)
Philips 17' Normal Monitor =Rs.7,000 (Approx)
Sony's Fdd=Rs.400
Segate Barracuda 160 Gb Sata Hard Disk (7,200 Rpm)=Rs.5,000
As For The Cabinet It can Cost Ya Anywhere from Rs.600 to Rs.1,500 For the Cheap One's (A Mercury Mid Tower ATX Cabinet (KOB33) Would Cost Ya Around Rs.1,325)....Try to Buy One's With Dual Cooling Fans At The Most 8) To Be safe On ur AMD Cpu's

Sony Cd Rom Drive 52X MAX =Rs.850 to Rs.1,000
Sony DVD Rom Combo (16x DVD + 52x32x52x CDRW)=Rs.3,225
Creative Audigy 2 ZS 7.1 Surround 24 bit Sound Card =Rs.8,250 And the Platinum Would Cost Ya a Bomb Of Rs.16,000 (Original Box Packed)
Canon Image Class MPC 190 Print-Scan-Copy Man No Idea if Its Available Currently Or Not....A Tough Find Mate 8)
MSI TV@nywhere Master TV-TUNER=Rs.3,200 (Approx)
Creative WebCam=Rs.1,200
APC UPS 600 VA (Black)=Rs.2,250 (Approx)
And Now What Are we forgetting Out Here Aahhhh Yes The Heart Of Gaming The Graphic Card......well Since U Havent Mentioned One Let me almost assume The Best for ur Config Mate

ATI 9800 PRO 128MB DDR 256 Bit (Club 3D) =Rs.15,000(Approx)
OR Verto Geforce 6800 GT 128 MB GDDR3=Rs.15,000 (Approx) And If u Can add a Few Extra Bucks Then u Can get a ASUS Geforce 6800 GT GDDR3 With 256 MB DDR Video Ram AT Rs.20,000 (Well That just rules out Of ur Budget even The Cards as well....The Best One's I Mean)
And finally Where Are The Speakers and The Keyboard Mouse????
Ahhh Well if u have Done Those adjustments to urself Then Well No need for its mention But This is what i can Sum Up for ur Current Config......Remember That These are just approx figures but still U can get a Rough idea now That its nowhere near to ur Budget But way outta it (Rs.58,000 If roughly calculated)
So Then Choose Wisely If U Can And Happy Buying Mate Hope this helped Ya 8)

icecoolz · 31-12-2004, 06:13 PM

Raj,

Hes already posted his budget in his post read it carefully. And if he goes for a 64 bit processor based mobo then hes gonna have to shell out a lot more than just 45k! Read the post carefully mate

raj14 · 31-12-2004, 06:19 PM

Here's what i have: Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHz with HT@ 3.8GHz, ASUS P4C800 DLX with 802.11b WiFi, 1GB DDR 400MHz Kingston Ram 512x2 (Dual channal), 160GB SATA Hard drive, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, Zalman RS6F 5.1 Headphones, Gainward 2400/Ultra 'Golden Sample'(nVIDIA GeForce 6800GT flashed to 6800 Ultra), Samsung DVD/CD Rom, Samsung 52x Cd Rom, Lite-On 16x DVD writer(Dual layer), 8in1 internal memory card reader, Antec HD cooler, Acer AF715 17" CRT monitor, Logitech Cordless MX duo keyboard and mouse, 80mm x 2 Fans, 4 Led Fans, Copper cooler for processor, Antec Plusview 1000 AMG, 550watt Powersafe PSU, Logitech MOMO force Racing wheel. how is it?

boeing_737 · 31-12-2004, 06:20 PM

Hi,
and also Raj...there is no processor called : AMD 64 FX 3200+ .
I think you mixed everything up.

Acoording to me..there is no need to jump on the 64-bit bandwagon as of now. There are just too many Techs that are in the pipeline at the moment.

So the safest way is to get a Athlon XP processor. And with your budget ..you can get a rig thats as powerful as a P4 3 Ghz.
What more do you need.?

raj14 · 31-12-2004, 08:05 PM

Tsk tsk... Sorry dude u are dead wrong! Heres' the list of currently availble AMD 64 Bit processors: AMD 64 2800+, AMD 64 3000+, AMD 64-FX 3200+, AMD 64 FX-51, AMD 64 FX-53, AMD 64 FX-55. *64 FX series of processors have 1 MB L2 cache.* while non FX processors have 512Kbyte cache. n00b!

grinning_devil · 31-12-2004, 08:16 PM

sheeeeeeesh guys....c'mon !!!

rbeasal's original question was price quiotation "of his mentioned hardware" nd other equivelants under that price range....

i dont understand where do raj's first post abt the config rbeasal shud go for come into picture nor can i understand the boasting of his own rig later....c'mon ppl dont forget the original post nd its continuity....was there a need for a seperate post by raj telling us his rig????

nd Sourabh i sure am sorry abt that onboard gfx...wasnt sure which mobo carried it!

grinning_devil · 31-12-2004, 08:29 PM

8) ...

AMD 64 FX 3200+....cudnt find any...pls provide us a link raj....

raj14 · 31-12-2004, 10:39 PM

The orignal menitoned system would cost him about 56K, and i have something good(And Extremly Expensive! I may add) so i was just asking u people how is my gaming rig? I am not Ragging that i have high end gaming rig! Here is a link: www.amd.com/athon64fx also check out www.hexus.net and www.hardocp.com. No hard feelings ciao! And a Happy New year to Digit dudes and forum dudes!

Ethan_Hunt · 31-12-2004, 10:50 PM

Same here pal......The One i know is the Amd Athlon 64 Fx And The other is AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (No Fx In it)......The Series In The Fx Line Up is The AMD Athlon 64 Fx-51 (Which could be more or less be called as its sibbling)

The fx Uses 940 Pins Package Whereas The Athlon 64 uses the 754 Pins Package.....Also The Fx Uses 128-Bit Dual Channel Memory Controller And The Athlon 64 Runs On single Channel 64-Bit Memory Controller

boeing_737 · 31-12-2004, 10:58 PM

Hi ,
OK ..i think i will try to clear things up.
There are two types of 64-bit proc. from AMD. period.
1. Processors with socket 754 interface having a single channel memory support . eg :- AMD Athlon 64 2800+ .
2. Processors with Socket 939 interface supporting dual channel memory implementation . This includes the processors ranging from AMD Athlon 64 3200+ till the recent AMD Athlon 64 4000+ as well as the AMD Athlon 64 FX series like the FX-51 , FX-53 and FX-55.

Hope this solves the probs.

raj14 · 01-01-2005, 01:53 AM

Look, the AMD 64 comes in VARIOUS tastes! I have the AMD 64-FX for 4 1/2 months now and it has 1MB L2 cache! No it isn't a 51, 53 or 55 but its a FX! i said AMD 64-FX did u see a 51 or 53 or 55 here?Nooo! BECAUSE It's a AMD 64-FX 3200+ @2.2GHz (default core)! Listen dude Sometimes people r wrong! There's no shame in that. Now please let me play Max Payne 2 on my PS-2! I just brought it for godsake!

Ethan_Hunt · 01-01-2005, 11:45 AM

Now U Lookie Here Mate......The One Ur Calling a AMD Athlon 64 Fx Is a Fx-55 With a Core Of 1Mb L2 Cache Running at a clock speed of 2.2Ghz And The Diff With The AMD 64 is That It is Not Reffered To as The 64 Fx 3200+ Processor but just simply called as AMD Athlon 64 Fx-51 or 53 or 55 Running at a 2.6Ghz Clockspeeds.....Did U check Out Ur Mannual In detail Pal.....None Of ur Sites Showed Me a Athlon 64 Fx 3200+ Word In it.....Neither did any of the sites i Searched Gave Me ur Specific Processor Match.....And Yea Check This site out for The Products Most Available Amd Processors and Check Out their Naming Pattern...

http://geek.pricegrabber.com/search_...form_keyword=/
And yea If U are done with Ur Boasting of Ur Pc Config and Ps2 May be U can Post Something more relative to the Topics Mate....No offence Here pal......And We Never Stopped Ya from playin Ur Max Payne Did We Now????? 8)

liquid_nitrogen88 · 01-01-2005, 03:05 PM

Ethan_Hunt · 01-01-2005, 09:03 PM

Yup He's Got The AMD Athlon Fx-51 With 1Mb L2 Cache Runnin @ 2.2Ghz Socket 940 Processor
