My new PC :)

[Anusha]

Had to upgrade it because the it was aging. It was supposed to be an upgrade, but eventually it will get all new parts. Currently, I'm looking at 5 crucial parts, and 3 not so crucial parts (at least for now).

This is what I have now:

• Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86GHz = stock
• Intel DG965RY motherboard (no overclocking support - but the only affordable one for the money I had at the time of purchase)
• 1GB DDR-II 667 Kingston at 5,5,5,15 timings (2x512MB)
• 320GB Maxtor Diamondmax 10 7200RPM, SATAII, 16MB cache with NCQ
• 500W Server PSU from the old setup + new ATX case

I use the monitor, keyboard, mouse & speakers from the old PC. The upcoming upgrades are,

• 2 sticks of 1GB DDR-II 667 to bring the total RAM amount to 3GB
• 19" LCD monitor (because I can give the current CRT to dad to use with the old PC)
• DirectX10 video card, when they are available. Not easy to run Vista on this integrated graphics chip and games run very badly on it
• ADSL Router - because my current ADSL modem 's driver support is pathetic and there's a 100% probability that it won't get a signed Vista 64bit driver, as I'm looking forward to moving into 64-bit computing
• IDE to USB converter - so I can use my 160GB IDE drive as a portable drive

The not-so-crucial parts are,

• Audigy X-Fi class soundcard + good 5.1 speakers

nice specs. iam also lookin fr same kind a pc. wht r da prices u got for processor and motherboard. and did u chk price of >2GH c2d processor. and wht r da ram prices dees days. herd it went down.

 

[Anusha]

Rs. 23,500 for CPU (from PC Partner)
Rs. 17,500 for the motherboard (from Data Master Systems)
Rs. 7,500 each for 512MB RAM
Rs. 13,500 for the HDD (bought it today)

Didn't check the 2.13GHz model's price as I couldn't go beyond those prices even by Rs.500 more. If you are buying a video card at the same time, don't buy this motherboard, or look for an Asus. The only reason why I bought this motherboard is because this was the only one I could find with integrated video with a good chipset at an affordable (ahem, it's still expensive) price tag. Asus and Gigabyte motherboards are at least Rs.6000 more expensive

 

[Anusha]

There wasn't much difference from the previous month; maybe about Rs.500 less. DDR2-533 should be cheaper, but I've had enough with cheap stuff. Cheap = lots of dissappointments.

 

[mlakmal]

damn i thought mem prices went down. iam gonna wait lil time den. cos i need to go arnd 2-3 gb ram. i got a hard disk 250gb for 5000 16mb cache.

 

[Anusha]

I need to upgrade the RAM amount to 3GB (at least 2GB at first) too. But I'm gonna do it regardless of whether the prices are down or not. I just can't live with 1GB and integrated graphics in Vista.
