TE sold me the idea of an AMD Athlon X2 + Biostar mobos such as A785GE or TA785GE-128M instead of the well-trodden path of Intel dual-core + G21 Gigabyte setup. Last week, i went to Lamington Road, hunting for the same. Prime quoted 8k for Athlon X2 240 + Biostar TA785GE-128M. Others quoted almost similar figures in the range of 8k to 8.3k This seems ridiculous as X2 240 is around 3k, and as per lynx, the biostar mobo is around 4.2k.
I also emailed itwares and deltapages (chennai) for a quote of TA785GE-128M. I never got a reply from itwares, and delta replied after 3 days saying 3700 nett, but stock expected on fri (ie 30 oct).
time is running out for me...i have to setup this comp in another 8-10 days. can anyone help with a genuine quote (here in mumbai)? i am willing to go upto Rs. 7500 for Athlon II X3 435 + TA785GE-128M. Else I'll settle for a E5200+G31 which comes in Rs.5600.
(use of computer: no gaming but a better display for hd video purposes is welcome, will also be used as a digital audio workstation)
thanks!
