REGARDS,
NISHANT

P.S.-PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO CHANGE IF I AM WRONG AT ANY PLACE.
IS AMD 3200+ =P4 2.8

B

Nishant u have specified a barton which is a 32 bit proccy, it is not a AMD 64 processor, the 3200+ is a clawhammer is a 64 bit proccy. Get more RAM like 512 or 1Gb from a reputed manufacturer like kingston, corsair or transcend.

Hi ..
Go in for AMD..

Suggestion..
ram 512 minimum..
Monitor - samsung....
As for motherboard check if it is N-vidia graphics chipset...

And one more thing..dont let the vendor lay suggest you a substitute (read dictate the terms). Stick to what you want and not what your vendor gives you

take gigabyte nforce 3 250gb for 8k

take gigabyte nforce 3 250gb for 8k

nforce3 motherboards are meant for 64-bit AMD processors and nishantv is going for a 32-bit AMD processor, but yes nforce chipsets are the best for AMD platform!

My suggestions:
1. First off all go for an AMD platform....

2. Go for ASUS nforce2 motherboard....

3. Go for 512 MB DDR RAM....

4. Combo drive is fine but i would always prefer separate dvd rom drive(ASUS) and a cd writer(Liteon)....

5. For a 17" monitor i will suggest samsung 763MB flat screen monitor....

6. For tv tuner go for Pinnacle pctv pro(with nicam stereo)....

7. For speakers i would suggest creative 5200 5.1 or if you can extend ur budget then go for altec lansing 5100 5.1....

Enjoy

there are threads availabe discussing this topic. Just read that. You ll get the prices also.

i think Barton is not a good buy. go for a 64 bit processor. AMD 3000+ 64 is availabe around 10,000Rs. and u can find a good ASUS mother board around 7000 and a cheaper GigaByte alternative at around 5000. So go for it.

thanks guyes for your help i just have 3 more question

1. Is AMD ATHLON 3000+ OR 3002+64 BIT better than p4 2.8[HT]

2. Is AMD ATHLON 3000+ OR 3002+64 BIT equal p4 2.8[HT]{WHAT IS AMD 64 3000+ GHZ}

3. What is HT and does AMD ATHLON 64 SUPPORT IT!!!

[1.] AMD Athlon 64 bit is certainly better than the P4 2.8 Prescott 'coz it's future-proof and can run both 32-bit as well as 64-bit applications.

[2.] AMD 64 3000+ is the 64-bit version of the Athlon3000+.

[3.] HT stands for Hyper-Threading, which increases performance while running multiple applications simultaneously 'coz the OS thinks there are 2 processors. No, AMD Athlon64 does not have HT (not sure though). It uses its own HyperTransport technique.

A

Practically,
Amd 3200=2.8ht(c)=amd 2800 64
ht does increse performance especially in c lclass cpus.Prescott have 64bit support just awating to be enabled wth apps.all ht aren't prescott.

finally i made up my mind for AMD ATHLON 64 BIT 3000+

now i want you guys to help me,so please give me the list of components best matched with this processor.

But the price is the factor for me[under R.s.40,000]

I am getting this p4 at R.s.35,000.[should i buy this and leave AMD]

PROCESSOR-P4 2.8[HT]
MOTHERBOARD-INTEL 865G
RAM-256DDR
HDD-8OGB[7200RPM]{samsung 3 years warrenty}
CD ROME-1.DVD[ASUS]
2.CD WRITER[ASUS]
KEYBOARD-LOGITECH MM
MOUSE-I BALL OPTICAL
MONITOR-17'LG OR SAMSUNG [I HAVE HEARD PHILIPS IS BETTER THAN BHOTH OF THEM]
TV TUNER-pixel view
SPEAKERS-frontech 5.1 3000watts

waht are your requirements?

Considering that hardware prices keep varying by the day, and that taxes variation across regions, you should take a look at a few assemblers rather than deciding on one directly - also, the prices posted here may become far different within a week - it all depends on your luck.
All the best!

Woah prescott's have 64bit support?

A

but not the raw power...

P

Nopes!
Not the current ones - but the new set of prescott cores which are set to roll-off production lines in september will have support for AMD's instruction set - NX, and x86-64.
