Hi

I am planning to upgrade my old PC . Please tell

1. Which MB with best inbuilt grafix card(nVidia/ATI) is good for AMD Dual Core processor and its cost

2. My CRT is 6 yrs old and working fine ..how much is general life of CRT? Shud I take a new LCD instead ?

Thanks
Sumit

Take a new LCD or CRT monitor. I don't know about the Graphic cards.

Get any mobo based on the Geforce 6150 chipset. It's the best choice for an AMD platform. The Asus M2NPV-MX should cost about Rs. 4,700. Buy socket AM2 mobo's as the older socket 939 one's don't have much scope to upgrade.

hello DrVarun
my frnd has bought Gigabyte based on Nvidia 6100 ? Is it good ? Or shud I take Asus only for best performance ?

For socket 939 ASUS A8N-VM CSM is good, yes it has on board 6150 IGP from nvidia, it as good as a 6200 but dosem't have its own memory!

..

But try to get a AM2 mobo and prcey, it will be more future proof.!

Hmm nice suggestions.... but I am confused..tell me which processor AM2 and which AM2 Motherboard (budget --> cheap and best) will be future proof for two three years

Get Intel C2D PERIOD

Read the post above yours. He needs something cheap and C2D certainly isn't cheap.

@esumitkumar: Get an Athlon64 X2 3600+ (Rs. 6900) processor and an Asus M2NPV-MX mobo (Rs. 4700) based on Geforce 6150 chipset. If you want to save a little more money, get an Asus M2N-MX mobo (Rs. 4300) based on Geforce 6100 chipset.

Thanks Dr Varun..u really rock ...
