I've finally decided 2 buy a new comp, I'm a HARDCORE GAMER and surf the net, apart from using couple of prog languages, I read quite a few articles bout this, but i guess first hand info from users is more useful.

Cool!
So exactly *WHAT* info do you want?

You want suggestions for the configuration you should buy? Prices? OS to ask for?

Well buying GB of RAM is feasible 2 all, but not GeForce, Tell me what would i get for Rs 5000, will i get a good Graphics Card ? which will last 4 couple of years ????????

Will the new 64-Bit computers support them ?

I might buy 640 Mb of Ram, but still would u suggest a Graphics Card for something with the money i save by not buying 360 Mb of RAM??????

More RAM is cool, gives benefits.
As far as graphics card is concerned, just get a mainstream one, sufficient.
