Amigos,
I am planning to get this mobo and would require your valuable opinions and suggestion on this mobo, I enquired with "THE COMPUTER SHOP" located in brigade rd, Bangalore and was told that it will cost me Rs, 8050
Is this a good price or can it get lower next month or so. Am planning to teram it up witt an AMD 3000+
I was intitally plannig to go a for an ATI RS480 mobo since it had an inbuilt gfx which provided enough performance for me since i am no loger into hardcore gaming due to work related issues, Also I occasionaly plan to play HL2 and Gta San andreas (when its gonna be released for PC ofcuz
). But then i am very much contended with my 4 year old ASUS cusl2c mobo running on a p3 800mhz ....so due to stabiltiy and performance issues i decided to stick wtih ASUS and i expect the same from the K8ne-dlx . Is MSI RS 480 tht good for 3days continuos usage.
My requirement is :
1) Upto 3 days of continious usage 24/7 without any satbilty issues ( my p3 can do that) .
2) Ocassional gaming . (hl2 and alike)
3) Dvd backups.
4) etc etc etchyeah:
Also abt the gfx card i was thinking about the Leadtek 6600 pci-e which again the dealer quoted 9k, XFX is ther for around 8k. Or sud i wait and go for a vanilla 6800 pci-e when it comes doen to 10 grands. If ther are any cards worth emntioning for a max of 10k but preferably around 7-8k will be gr8.
Some doubts:
a) Will 512mb of ram sufficient for the above mentioned activity.
b) Is the performance diff between a AMD64 3200 and a 3500 that wide.
c) XFX or Leadtek ?
d) in HDD shall i go for Hitachi or Seagate (Samsung dies 3-4 yrs..atleast for me)
Hoping for a speedy response.
