Thanks guys. Just ordered the Avermedia card.

I'm trying to choose between The Frontech Card and The Avermedia Super 009 (M733) Card I'm leaning towards Avermedia because it seems to be an established brand, and the site support for drivers etc seems to be better. Apart from that, please let me know the pros and cons. Thanks

@thegatekeeper I'm also looking for a good mobo for the core i3-2100. You have suggested 1600mhz RAM, however the DH67BL board specs say the supported RAM speed is 1066/1333 Mhz. Wont this be a problem? Also, DH67BL seems to be micro-ATX. DH67CL might be a better choice as per Sajitsm's...

i3 config + 1080p + backlit keyboard + bag will cost me ~ 54K... Will probably ditch the Bluray. Sounds good :) What are your thoughts on the 3-year complete cover (+12K if I buy it now, probably more if I buy it later)? Is it a scam or does dell usually honor its warranty? I generally think of...

Guys, thanks for all your replies. Very informative tips and links. Just to clarify, my main requirement is academic - i.e., creating documents, reading online articles, ebooks etc. But yes, I am looking for a largish screen (15 inch) with a resolution that's easy on the eyes for long hours of...

I'm planning to buy a Dell XPS 15 with i3 processor and full HD (1920x1080) screen. I plan to use it mainly for low-end academic uses, and occasionally for high-end graphics editing. The high-resolution screen is the main selling point for me. If you have used a similar Dell XPS configuration...

Wow, thank you guys! this has been immensely helpful. Thank you Safin for a super reply - you've addressed the point about PDFs quite decisively. I'll take your advice and either wait for a cheaper 9-inch version, or look for alternatives. And many thanks to Raksrules & Spacecreamer for...

People, I'm planning to get a Kindle from the US. If you have answers to any of the questions below, please let me know: 1) Can I upload any kind of PDF onto it, or are there restrictions on format/copyright etc? 2) Is it convenient to read a full page (native PDF format) on the six-inch...

Opera is my favorite too... Given my high-resolution display, I often need to resize the text (i.e., increase the font size by pressing the '+' key). I've found that only Opera manages to do it without messing up the layout of the page.

Thanks people... I went with ewebguru finally... it seemed to meet my price/bandwidth/credibility requirements. Regards

Hi, I have a small website on geocities (just 450KB total). Geocities displays its own ads and also has a 4.2MB/hour datatransfer restriction - which are both constricting. Can anybody suggest a cheap Indian Webhosting service that's robust and doesn't have a reputation for getting hacked? US...

The dell 1525 is one of the most amazing VFM deals out there... but be prepared for some shipment delays. They seem to be facing some parts shortage these days, so doublecheck with the salesperson if the delivery will indeed be made within 7 working days as they promise.

Hi, I'm about to place an order for a laptop whose price before taxes is about 34K. Taxes (CD/CVD/Excise Duty) amount to more than 4k. Should I wait till the budget is announced? The downside is that the Dell discount expires on Feb 29, so I really need to choose between Dell discount & a...

Hi, this might just be an urban legend, but to be safe, you may want to keep the speakers as far as possible from your laptop. Apparently the speaker magnets can mess up the screen. After my friend's laptop screen had conked twice (luckily she was on warranty both times) the Toshiba guys told...

I'm still rubbing my eyes in disbelief... would you look at this and let me know if I'm missing something: Dell Inspiron 1525 Vs Compaq C740TU Common features: Intel Core 2 Duo T5450 160GB SATA Hard Drive DVD Writer,Wifi 15.4" Widescreen WXGA (1280x800) TFT Display Vista(TM) Home Basic 32 bit...

How about ASUS M2NPV-VM? It's also based on the 6150 chipset, has Firewire, and HDTV out as well! And it only costs something like 300 rupees more than the M2N-MX. Seems like an amazing deal...
