buying a new pc ...

[megacoolxs]

my old pc just fried and i wanna buy (assemble) a new pc. Should i go in for a motherboard without PCI-express or should i wait. Please give some config recomendations.

If you are going for an Intel inside solution, then opt for a PCI-E mobo , but u need to shell out a lot for the graphics card. If u want AMD, then u only have nVidia nForce PCI-E motherboard, which is not yet avlble in India.

I would suggest you to go for an AMD Sempron processor based PC.

Look at some back issues of Digit , where there is a head to head comparison of AMD and Intel, along with suggestions for best solution with PCI-E

Hope this helps you.

yes go in for PCI slots.. also id recomend Athalon and not Sempron.. but it all depends on your budget finally..

Going for PCI-E is a good decision but the graphics card will be very expensive a(around 16k for a 128 MB). I wouldnt recomend u the PCI-E if u r not a gamer like me. But if u can wait until the price fall then u shud go for PCI-E.
