hi all...im looking to say goodbye to my p4 2.4..thinking of the following PC..

amd 3700+ 1MB CACHE
a8n sli premium
7800gt or gtx
512x2 ddr400 transend 1gb ram

is it good? shud i opt for amd fx instead of 3700+? how about the x2 dual cores?
like to play games sometimes like far cry, nfs u2,moto gp3..etc etc

what high-end cpu's available in mumbai...?
any suggestions..?

thanx a lot..
also how much would this system cost.......:

amd 3700+ 1MB CACHE
a8n sli premium
2x128mb 6600 gt pci
512x2transend 1gb ram
i got quoted rs.72000..
 
No point in upgrading now, if you can wait a few months more. AMD will be
releasing new sockets - S2 and M2 in Q2'2006. If you can't wait that long ...
well, your config is a good one to boot.

Here's my suggestion:

AMD64 X2 3800/4400 or 3700+ SD or 3500+ Venice E6
A8N SLi Premium
ASUS/XFX 7800GTX
2x1GB Corsair, Kingston, GeIL, OCZ or Transcend

Also, no point in 2x6600GT. A single 6800GT or 7800GT/GTX is better than the
combo.

Well wait for another 15 days and expect a good price drop on both GFX and Mobo...

Also what is the basic need of your system... Without that no point suggesting any parts...

Yep. Get the SD 3700 from Funky. As for the memory, get TwinMOS. And isn't it the 7800GT which retails for 24K ?

Woahh ! rahul gimme the number for your dealer :P ! Kidding ;) ! The GTX retails @ 31k, its the GT that retails at 24k i suppose.

@muttster: I would suggest that you take a look at what ATi will be offering. Its only a matter of few days, 5-6 to be exact ! Then you could check out the fastest offerings from both the companies and get the one that suits you budget.

Wait a month and get a DFI Motherboard instead of crappy Asus. Get 2GB of memory. Make sure its Twinmos based on Samsung UCCC.
 
hmmm..the wait is killing me....:(
i guess if i wait i could get probably 4800+..?
im not really looking to overclock..it voids the warranty right..?
anything better than a8n sli premium..?

amd fx55 better than amd 4200+..?
im getting confused..:ashamed:

thx for the replies...
 
7800gtx 31250

7800gt 24000

sli premium 13000

4200+ 28000

shud i go in for 4200+? these are the quotes i got from rashi..

or get the 3700+ sandiego..?
 
Well you can go in for 3700+ SD, and overclock it so that u can come closer to to fx series. As for going to 4200+X2 its better with multi tasking application, i dont know how it fairs with games unlike single core series does. BTW 4200+ X2 costs 26000 in chennai. Are you going go for 7800GT/GTX????
 
thx..
im going for 7800gtx...once n for all get a good card..no upgrading for a year or so.. (my p4 i bought last december)
im getting quotes from 3-4dealers..my old dealer was charging around 15-20% more!grrr

i'll not go for dual core..just read they are better at multitasking..all i want is a little bit of gaming.....far cry..simcity 4...moto gp3..etc..
will get the 3700+san diego or maybe fx 55 if i get it for around 45k..

how much would a p4 2.4 865gbf 1gb ddr333 ram 6600gt xfx fetch..?

thx guys.. :ohyeah:
 
Put ur components with the warranty info. in the Market section with the aapprox. price that u expect for the components. U will then get offers and suggestions as to what their actual worth is and if anyone's interested, u will be done with ur old rig in 10~15 days !!!

If ur going for the SD 3700+, get Funky's. It's tried and tested and does well. And OC'ing does void ur warranty, but no one will know it until u go to ur dealer and say, " Oh, I OC'ed my proccy and it fried !!! ".

Another info, DFI boards will be available from the 20th of Oct. Wait and get it.
 
Damn!

Your ready to pay 45k for a FX-55??

Achha, guys, whats the difference between the FX-55 and the AMD 4000+?

Every1 says, overclock your 4000+ to above FX-55 Clocks and itll perform better than the FX-55 and sometimes the FX-57? Is this true? Then why are the FX Series priced so high?

I Know that the FX Series have unlockable multipliers which the 4000+ doesnt. What else?
 
nothing else.

SD3700+/4000+ and new FX-55 and 57 are exact same SD core. No difference what so ever except the locked multipliers.

FX series is like cream on the top. its select few chips. Taken from the centre of the weafer. graded and tested for these high speeds. So premium is charged for them.

Its not that 4000+ or 3700+ are failed FX. it dosent happen that way. It may well be the case but 3700+ is simply tested for 2.2Ghz and 4000+ for 2.4Ghz and not more.

Now my 3700+ is a good processor. I have oced it to 3ghz. Thats past FX-57 speeds.
