Testing what? Will be testing few tools on Backtrack No nVidia card except the GTX 550Ti will run effectively on your SMPS, so you are really short on options here, also the similar priced AMD HD 6850 will easily outpace the same [GTX 550Ti]. Also the GTX 550Ti and the AMD HD 6850 will be at...

Hi All, I'm looking for a graphics card and monitor to buy. It's been ages since I've kept in touch with gfx cards, so I'm not sure about the model. I prefer nVidia only, for CUDA, since I will be using it for testing. Purpose of gfx card: 1. Gaming 2. Image and video editing 3. HD movies...

A long pending update. Bought the rig around 2 months back and it's kickin' a$$! :D Running VMs on this machine is a dream! The base OS is a Win 7 Ultimate x64. One downside to this rig is, the horrible heatsink. Due to the small size, it needs to spin faster to cool. Sounds like a fighter jet...

It's been nearly a month since I bought the new rig. It was really tough to get the Gamma case. Everyone was asking if it was from Coolermaster. Hehehe.... Unfortunately, the Dell monitor which I was eyeing for a long time has been discontinued. Only the 24" one has HDMI output. I'm sticking...

Any suggestion on ASUS mobos would really help guys. I'm heading out tomorrow. So, please help!

Hey guys! Back after a long time. I'll be buying my rig next week and am disappointed with our dumb CM who increased tax from 4% to 5% Also, the Dell monitor which I was looking out for (ST2210L) is also discontinued. Need suggestions on few more things. What is the difference between the mobos...

I'll be getting the quotes today from various shops around SP. Will post them here. I might buy them next week. If you guys know the shopkeepers well, can you please point me to the right ones and if I can get a good price? I've bought many peripherals and 2 PCs from Bangalore, but his...

Looks like the i7/mobo combo is a bit deep on my pocket. Settling with the recommended config. Thanks guys! :)

Thanks for the reply thunder.dragon. How much will an i7 and a good motherboard cost? I'll go for it, only if both of them fall in my budget.

Guys, anything on my previous post? Also, if I choose to go for a G.Skill 8GB kit, how much will it cost?

How are you using your laptop? If you are constantly connected to the power outlet, the battery gets damaged. It needs proper charge/discharge cycles. This link should give you a fair idea about maintaining your batter Laptop battery tips at laptop-battery.org

I intended to use XP to keep the RAM usage down. But I read in bits that XP acts up on the latest processors and motherboards. It's been a long itch to try Arch. Let's see how it goes. Dropped the idea of going for a PS3 and might end up buying the rig sooner than I thought. Any chances of...

Thanks for the advice mate. Been through the ordeal when I was running my old machine with the on-board Radeon Express(MSI RS-480M2 mobo). I intend to run the base OS with Windows XP(if it supports the processor and the motherboard) or Win 7. All my linux and *nix based distros will be running...

Really want to know what is the status on this

Thanks for the suggestion Tommy. Paravirtualization is new to me and I'm reading it up now.

I'm asking for an HDMI port on the monitor because I'll be using it for playing games with the PS3 as well :D EDIT-Just checked the cabinet. Specs are impressive! But, are there alternatives for this? This looks like a pregnant lady :P

@DarkAngel-Thank you very much for the quick response. You are so darn active here on the forum and know almost EVERY piece of hardware there! :) I forgot to mention that an HDMI port is must for my monitor. I'm also considering Dell now since I just got to know that I might get a discount. Is...

Hello All, This will be a strange request and a bit crazy for me to be so demanding. Let's see if it is really possible to this kind of configuration for requirements. Q: What is your budget? 35K-40k Max Q: What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and...

Yes. They screen foreign movies regularly. I had gone there once and watched 3 French movies. One was ok-ish, the other two sucked :P I know a movie buff who gets these kind of updates. Let me see if I can get some info :)
