grinning_devil · 02-01-2005, 02:36 PM

just one change shud be there....change 80GB to 120GB...difference is just too little to ignore....

hmm...dealer in ooty....sorry..not aware of....well in case u need a dealer frm mars lemme know....!!

well your config is just fine, except that ur mobo is based on nforce3 chipset. the nforce4 is already out with boards from gigabyte etc. try that.
you would then hav to change your gfx card to a PCIe based card. but trust me, paying a little extra for future proofing is good investment

plus with the nforce 4 boards u can go in for dual channel ram which will boost effective performance to 1gb of ram!!! well thats the theory anyway!

@Geek_god.....Although The Nforce 4 Chipset Has A mind blowing specs Its Still Some time From Being Easily Available,In India Atleast.....Even If it Is It Probably Out Of Most Budget Ranges.....These Chipsets Mostly Have Minimum Dealers And Most Of these Boards Have to Be Imported from Abroad.....So Lets Be a lil' Bit Down To Earth Shall We Mate

The near spots for me is chennai/bangalore, if I can get a sigle dealer for all the components then fine

If staying in Ooty then definatly go to Bangalore for hardware shopping as your specs are high.
I think grinning_devil is Right about the harddrive as the difference in amount ( 300 Rs ) is really too less ..
Hmm now having the gaming rig at 70K you will definatly want it future proof. How about having a 6800Gt in it .
Rest Excellent specifications !!
Happy hunting ~
