Re: LCD dilema... Hi guys.. Since the OP has already bought his LCD and since the title of the thread is pertinent for me, i am posting my query here. I went to NP just a few days back to buy myself a new config. I had selected on buying a 19" Dell or Samsung, but with a 4:3 resolution only...

Hi. Went to NP yesterday and got the hardware needed. Cost implication: LAN card (for old comp) + installation = 350 Long ethernet wire + 1 meter wires x2 = 200 RJsplitter = 20 Installed the wires as: Modem wire goes into the one side socket of Splitter. Wires to the two comps go into the...

Thank u both for the suggestions. I bought the new desktop recently from nehru place. So, now there is urgency to get it online too. A Hub is for about 400, and a Switch for abt 500. So better to go for Switch i think. Added will be two extra costs for me: a) LAN card for old desktop b) Cost of...

PEACE :hap2: You both have helped me a lot. Went ahead and bought the new computer. Have set it up and installed OS. Whew.. at least first step crossed. Will set it running for a few days to see if its stable, before i get back and post the config i bought. One thing... I do not know how the...

Hi all. I am about to buy a new comp for my home. What would be the simplest way to share my MTNL broadband connection, so that both PCs may access it (simultaneously also sometimes). Do i need to get a LAN card in-built into my new comp? My earlier one does not have one. OS: Win XP planned for...

Hi.. Am building a new setup. Would prefer sticking to Samsung LCD if possible. Which will be the most VFM monitor among its repertoire: Desktop Monitior - Monitor | SAMSUNG Is it worth it to go for T190 that has a 2ms response rate and 20000:1 contrast rate? Any idea how much it will cost...

Rang up Abacus ydy. They were very polite and patient. They explained that Biostar A785GE is not available with them, only TA785GE-128M is available. That one is for 4k. So in AMD the choice becomes X2 240+ Gigabyte 740G chip for me. I agree with VIP's reasoning. With a 20k limit, cannot expect...

Just had a telephonic talk with SMC Intl. Bad news... they have only Biostar TA785-128M. Thats the one having dual memory use technology. And thats over my budget. They dont have A785GE in stock. :( Got stuck. If not available at SMC (and at C2C, CE as checked myself ydy), its unlikely to be...

Thanks Karthi... Your replies are great. As i said, i went to NP directly ydy. Found the SMC displayed pricelist a bit pricey compared to other shops. But in case not getting it anywhere else, will take the mobo from them. I think your point justifies that if i go for AMD, i must go for a 785G...

Hi... Could you tell me where in Nehru Place to find that Biostar mobo. I went ydy only and could'nt get it. I would be grateful if you have a look at my thread too. I need to urgently decide on my CPU-MoBo combo by today...

Hi.. Many thanks for the reply. Would the 740G generation chip be good enough, or do i intensively search for 785G one? GPU i would prefer to omit as of now. As no GPU, i believe Microtek UPS will do. Can you comment on whether Intel Dual Core 2.5Ghz + Gigabyte G41 combination is a good VFM...

Hi. went to NP for a initial recce today.. First thing - Prices have increased! Quote for AMD II X2 240 Proc was 3100 (give/take 50) Main problem is Biostar A785GE... None of the biggies (Cost2Cost, Computer Empire etc.) were having it. {Biostar is the only reasonably priced 785 series MoBo...

@Karthi007 Hi.. The config you have suggested fits in well with the one i was looking for, as mentioned in my thread. I am planning to fit it in my budget as follows: -GPU goes -1GB RAM in place of 2GB -Combined Cabinet+SMPS for ~1.7k - 2.0 Speakers instead of 2.1 -Addtnl cost of 500GB...

Hi all.. I am upgrading to a new computer after many years of using my earlier one. For a price-point of about 20k, can you comment on the following configuration choices. Facing a dilemma regarding the CPU-Motherboard combo to go for. The main article i based upon is this one by techtree...
