BIOSTAR is not a TEIR 1 mobo manufacturer, even if many people are using it without failures i can't recommend it to my friend as he is a married n00b and won't get time to RMA etc.

How do you say Biostar isn't a tier 1 mobo manufacturer? Or how do you define Tier1 ,2 etc? Can you be more specific on this?

The cheapest ddr3 mobo is the MSI GF615M-P33. I got it for Rs3200.

Its a gforce 6150SE chipset mobo.

How is the board? Any drawbacks? And how are the overclocking options if any?

Since the cpu u mentioned is already a QUAD there is no need to unlock multi/cores of it right? :baby:

unlocking are of two types these days..

unlocking cores

and unlocking L3 cache

X4 athlons dont have L3 out of the box and with certain boards, it can be unlocked :)

@mohit

dont bother buying that age old chipset.

maximum cpu support is 95W

and it wont make a difference in performance if you use ddr3 with this.. only positive i see is the option to have cheap ram change/upgrade in future... although 2 ram slots..

Ironically the board supports only AM3 socket cpus because of DDR3 and still operates at am2 specs... HT and NB @ 1GHz only :p (am3 is capable of 2.6GHz out of the box)
 
Any giga mobo that supports AM3 and DDR3 without caps of NB? Cheapest :)

GA-MA770T-UD3P ..6.5-6.8k but no IGP (costs ~$80 at newegg without rebates..)
GA-MA785GMT-US2H ...7-7.2k (~$90)

:)

i'm sure it will be no budget buy..

settle for DDR2
DDR3 performance is supposed to increase with new chipset release ..that is.. 8xx series..which wont release before Q2 2010

currently DDR2 is as good as DDR3 with current amd offerings..
 
Lets chuck DDR3 then, do u know the benQ 22" with DVI?

none that i'm aware of rightow.

market s flooded with FullHD 22 inchers which logically renders 1680x1050 22 inchers outdated.

you may get some in market section if you put WTB threadt that is..
 
Another confusion, since this LCD has DVI i would ideally like to buy 3450/4350 to USE HDMI or DVI atleast rofl! I guess we will settle for a 19" wide one.

Gigabyte MA78GMT-US2H 16x, 8Ch.S, L, HDMi DDR3 5975

The mobo must be cheaper in Mumbai and delhi than chennai
 
Will the Biostar A785GE - 3.3K (DDR2) board allow me to unlock the remaining 2 cores of a 550BE? Otheriwise, which are the cheaper options that will allow me to unlock? DDR2 preferred. TIA.
 
Bumping this thread. SMC is offering the Gigabyte MA-785GM-US2H now for 4.4k shipped as a Christmas offer.

How is this board? Overclocking options? And if anyone has a link to a good review of the same, please share it. Thanks.
