Rate this config

[adorablesrini]

Wel guys plz help me to upgrade my existin config:

I currently hav Athlon 1.13GHz with 256Mb(SDRAM) with a Gigabyte Mobo with onboard graphics(a measly 8Mb memory one!!)

Wel just tak a look at wat i need n then recommend the right one:

AMD Athlon 64 FX or Athlon 64
Suggest a mobo which has onboard Bluetooth + SATA capability + PCIe(optional)
A decent graphics card (the one with Ati Radeons 9200SE capabilities)
And a 80 or 120Gb SATA HDD

Just suggest me if this wil cost me less 20k if not can u suggest me alternative!! I require my new PC to last atleast 2 more yrs!!

I dont think ur upgrading.You r almost buying a new system.
You can buy a very decent machine with your budget of 20k.
Does your budget include a monitor.?

[adorablesrini]

No need for a Monitor i hav a sexy 17inch Flat screen monitor!! I want a System which wil play most of the 3d games! I read the digit magazine carefully 2day they were of the opinion that PCIe is not much common with AMD mobo makers.So do u think i shud wait a little long??

AMD Mobo already have PCI-E support
The nForce4 Chipset for AMD Socket 939 Processors

ASUS A8N - Sli Delux has support for
2 PCI-E x16 GPU's and 2 PCI-E x1 Cards

Your budget is low to get this motherboard
This motherboard itself cost Rs12000 approx.

Posted by Mistake its a Socket 754 AMD not 939
The S754 Processor will cost some 6-7K

I dont know the rates for S939 but they are costlier than S754 variants

Hey Quad,
which CPU in S939 costs in the range of 5-6k? please tell me as i have a spare A8N SLI ,i cna build a ***** machine immediately.

[quad master]

It seems a mistake its a Socket 754 Pro which comes for approx 6K

Rates According to Digit Feb 2005 Pg 72
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ for Rs6716
AMD Athlon 64 2800+ for Rs6624

I dont have the rates for Socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 but just check it out.
IF you are in Mumbai just go to Lamington Rd and you will get the best
rates for AMD/Intel Processors.

[darklord]

That is the rate of Socket 754.
Anyways thanks.
I am from pune so i cant get prices from Mumbai but dont worry, i do get rates regularly and good ones.

S993 cpu's are between 11-12k for the 3200+ and 16-17 k region for the 3500+

[mamba]

3200+ - 12k
3500+ - 14k
u wanna have a further drop , then wait till the budgetz out . also after VAT , the present 12% would come down 2 4% (tax)
