Shifted the x850xt to the office pc & decided to shift to dx10 platform. but dint go out spending bigtime for a dx10 card as pc gaming has sucked for around a year & there is usually nothing good to play (hopefully crysis & u3 can change that).so settled for the galaxy 8600gt 256mb. factory ocd to 600 / 800. very decent.

here are a couple of pics





i got nothing to installed to check benchmarks on the card. you can check the full review of the card here Galaxy 8600GT OC » Reviews - XSReviews.co.uk - Trusted Hardware Reviews

the damage for the card was Rs.7200/-
also the leadtek 8600gt was for Rs.6800 (default speeds), but it was out of stock.

Also got a new keyboard. Dell usb multimedia keyboard. really great keyboard & looks very solid. here are a couple of pics.





here is the link to the keyboard on the dell site. Medium & Large Business: USB Enhanced Multimedia Keyboard for Select Dell Latitude/ Dimension/ Inspiron/ OptiPlex/ Precision Systems

after looking at that link you would think what a waste of 40$ on a keyboard. but the icing on the cake is that i got the keyboard for Rs.550/- purchased locally. feels nice to get something cheaper in india compared to the usa once in a while. hehe

yes got the 22" lcd also for the office. viewsonic vx2235. damage was 18250. the lcd is great. in specs it says that the brightness is lesser than the dell. but the contrast & brightness both are more than the dell 22". i have both in the office next to each other. overall though both screens are great. & surprisingly the speakers on the viewsonic are decent for lcd standard.

XP detects both USB keyboards and Mice. You may have to change a few BIOS settings however
