could somedody tell me if the 915chipset based motherboards have arrived in India. If not what the possible time of release would be?
The market seems to present a confused picture.
I am buying a new comp, and I want to know whether to wait for the 916 or go with the 865chipset as my assembler friend says.

they are available, the 915GAG is the saller of the future, however from your existing 865G chipset, the 915 is not recomended, U can still go up to a max of 3.4 GHz with that Chipset & Motherboard, so stick to it for the next 1.5 years, upgrade only when Longhorn comes

gx hes buying a new comp and i dun think he has an existing 865
he wants to know which one to go for

whether to wait for the 916 or go with the 865chipset

anyways dude if ur ruling out amd and have a lil extra cash then go for the 915 and survive with the onboard graphics for 1-2 months till graphic card prices drop !!
then u can upgrade to a pretty good card

@ better go for a AGP based mobo since i see no chances of prices of PCI-E cards dropping so quickly ! Plus Inquirer posted a little article stating how the Intel 915 isnt ready for PCI-E cards !
