No point going for 3rd Gen Intel processor now. If you can wait 2-3 weeks, 4th Gen processors are on their way (already released in the US). They will give you more chances to upgrade or replace components in coming years. Approximate price - 7000 for i3 haswell, 6000 for b85 motherboard, and...

If you were buying a desktop, you might have needed to worry. But on a laptop, I don't think you intend to replace the CPU. Contrary to popular opinion, a CPU keeps working fine even if a newer CPU is released by the same manufacturer :). If you are worried Haswell Refresh might be much much...

Yes, but that is besides the point. Being prompt with service is one thing. Making it seem as if they have lost their domain, and someone else is controlling it, is completely another thing. With this, a phisher could almost copy the website and host it at the same address, and you never know...

Ok, thanks for confirming. But maintenance should always assure the user that they are still in control of the domain. Once the user starts wondering who is controlling the website at a particular time, online shopping by sane users should decline a lot. Very unprofessional if so. What is...

http://www.smcinternational.in/ On Airtel broadband, I get a message from www.net4.in. With a US proxy, I get a blank website. Any one knows what happened? It is dangerous for an e-commerce related website to vanish.

OP will upgrade "the". I am equally unable to think how to upgraded "the" of IB and FX 8350 :)

You have not clarified what do you plan to upgrade within a year? You can get a PC in 15k, but it will be utterly non-upgradable. Second hand PC idea is good.

Your proposed processor is not compatible with your proposed motherboard. Since the low-cost processors of Intel's current generations have not yet been released, for Intel you will have to wait until they are released (expected September, good availability in India might be in October). Last...

This processor was released around May 2008, this is a much more than 3 year old config. Having said this, you are unlikely to lose any use case completely. Email , facebook, browsing, downloading, office, movie watching, photoshop, not very fast video editing, all should work satisfactorily at...

Are you writing a research paper on overclocking? Please clarify the purpose of overclocking. "Primary" concern can only be one out of stability and overclocking, in general. Particularly so if your budget is 20K.

The "gaming dealer" clearly wants to clear his 3rd gen stocks. While prices are good, but not as good as should be for last generation products. While performance difference between 3rd gen and 4th gen is not much, upgradability of 4th gen is much higher - possibly nearly fastest consumer...

Remember 80mm gives only 44% airflow as compared to same quality 120mm fans. Noise is very nearly equal. Since your cabinet supports 120 mm fans, there is no reason to use 80 mm. And as shown by hardwaresecrets, side fans are bad for CPU temperatures. So try just one 120 mm fan (the rear one in...

If they figure out it is lightening, they might refuse. But if it is not difficult to try , sure try it.

Just get a sound card for Rs. 1475. - http://www.flipkart.com/creative-5-1-vxi-pci-internal-sound-card/p/itmdm6f3sgxfvcbn?pid=ISCDM6F2UHBKJP3P&ref=65babbcb-a8f9-44b1-853e-5b6c9191a9ad Hopefully your PCI slot will be free, sound card can go there. It will likely have better sound quality than...

I think you don't need to backup for the experiments, because you could copy to a spare folder without affecting existing data. But it is your data, if you are not comfortable doing it without a backup, definitely backup. You say the zip experiment probably failed - but it is very important to...

Ok, one thing you can try to see if there are power supply issues - Suppose the 2 USB drives are X and Y. 1. Copy lots of small files from USB drive X to another folder in the SAME USB drive X while the Y drive is unplugged. 2. Copy lots of small files from USB drive Y to another folder in...

2 points : 1. Your configuration is pretty cool running. It should run fine with most cabinets , without lots of fans. Do you see notice high temperatures being reported? 2. The effect of fan configuration is different on different components. See study by hardwaresecrets : 1 and 2. Side fans...

Ok, so keep copying via internal drive till you find the solution. It nearly rules out memory issue also, so run memtest later whenever you find time, as it is unlikely to be the problem. Since for smaller files there is more seek required, power consumption could be higher. Do your USB...

Check this for single thread performance. X2 270 is worse than FX 4300 Also check the sticky thread (Avoid Transcend products!). Intel is the champion of single thread performance as is visible from the benchmark page. If you are worried about single thread and power - get 1. Pentium G2020 ...

Ok, it is not clear what files you tried to copy from USB to internal. Is it the following ? 1. copy the large number of small files from a USB drive to internal drive. See if this fails. 2. If this fails, that source USB drive has issues. 3. If it doesn't fail, copy the same large number of...
