    Dual sim budget phone

    Hi gang, I am on the lookout for a light weight dual-sim candy bar phone for my dad. He expressed a wish to own one, as he travels quite often for personal work. Would like to know of there are any decent ones within a budget of 4-8K max. Dont require a camera more than 2 MP , just...

    GTAIV not playing smooth lately

    GTA4 is more dependent on the number of processor cores, rather than the video card. I remember seeing a review(can't find it now, hmm...) which said there was not a big difference between using a 9800gt or a GTX 280, but there was a significant improvement going from a dual core to a quad core...

    CPU/Mobo Tri core DDR3 or Quad core DDR2

    Hmm let me wait and see how situation changes in next 2-3 months. Hopefully a quad core + ddr3 combo won't be too expensive then. Thanks guys!

    CPU/Mobo Tri core DDR3 or Quad core DDR2

    Haraakiri, Is Transcend any good? Its half the price of a corsair/gskill. Halo, Are AM3 mobos really future proof when you consider - (1). AMD Mobo supports only upto 1333 mhz ram today. Is it hardcoded or can a bios fix change it later? (2). By next year DDR3 2000 mhz rams might become...

    CPU/Mobo Tri core DDR3 or Quad core DDR2

    Am in a dilemma. I have plans to buy a new system in the next 2-3 months. I know prices would fall further then, but which would be better - x3 720 BE + AM3 mobo + DDR3(24k) or X4 940BE + A2+mobo + DDR2(20k) 4 GB C5 DDR2 800 MHZ is around 3k 4 GB C9 DDR3 1300MHZ is around 6k(cheapest i could...

    MMORPG help

    Heard eve online has a very difficult learning curve. Also it has had like a 11th expansion recently. Would probably take some getting used to the new stuff not to mention the cost of buying them. An EVE online vet can explain this better than me. Anyways, playing MMORPGs from India sucks...

    MMORPG help

    Paid ones you do not have many good choices - WoW(PvE)(Player Vs Environment) Warhammer Online(PvP)(Player vs Player) Other ones are not worth it, eg Age of Conan, Eve Online, LoTR Online etc Problem with MMORPGs is unless u game during the day, there won't be many people online during IST...

    Guys need help in building a gaming rig @ 70k

    There will always be better options round the corner. If you want something, just go ahead and buy it. I remember buying a pentium 120 mhz system with 4 mb ram and a whoppin 1 gb hdd for 60k. Maybe i should have waited 12 years for an i7 system :tongue: V

    PC Peripherals G-Skill question

    Hi gang, Quick question. Whats the diff between G-Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ (2GB x 2) 800 MHz priced at 3k and G-Skill F2-6400CL4D- 4GBPI (2GB x 2) 800 MHz priced at 4k. Assuming the former is 4-4-4-12 and former is 5-5-5-15. Question is, on a gaming machine, will it make much of a...

    CPU/Mobo Price dilemma

    I play mostly mmorpgs, with the occasional fps shooter. Playing warhammer online lately, previously WoW. Even though WAR isnt an fps, its pretty demanding(due to coding issues, memory leakage etc). Should i go for a 22" HD monitor, or will a 19" suffice. Basically, should i try to get more fps...

    CPU/Mobo Price dilemma

    Yeah, pretty sure the smps can handle the c2d + 4850. Shall post details tomorrow, dont remember offhand. The price i took for 4850 was for saphire, not palit. Been hearing stuff about palit and defective products.

    Warhammer Online - rant

    PvP tiers are 1-4(1-11, 12-21, 22-31, 32-40), each of which has multiple scenarios, but which anyone can queue and join from anywhere. Right now, populations are not well balanced. More people play Destruction than Order. Also some scenarios are unplayed(due to terrain, game type etc), while...

    Warhammer Online - rant

    Levelling is a bit of a pain in WAR. BGs and PQs are But then again I am only lvl 13 so dunno if it gets better. I like the BGs and the PQs. Levelling could use a small speed increase IMO. But i see quite a few lvl 40s already, and game has been out for 2ish weeks, cant blame developers for...

    Warhammer Online - rant

    Game has been out for less than 2 weeks. Too early to say game is a failure. Mythic made a fantastic game out of DAoC. Considering they build WAR, I can only hope for the best. I like games based on RVR, which is pretty much non-existant and buggy in AoC. Yeah levelling is kinda slow, but if...

    Warhammer Online - rant

    Played the Zealot and Witch Elf to lvl 8. Also read a lot through the forums and here are my comments so far - PROS (1). All classes can do well in rvr and pve, unlike other games where if you are good at 1, you will suffer in the other. (2). You can get experience from pve and pvp. For...
