i would say 690G anyday,

its a better performer than 6150,

also don't get confused bgetween 690G & 690V,
690G has HDMI & 690V doesn't have it , so make sure while buying the mobo,

jetway has 690G chpset based mobo which costs 3800Rs,
also available from ASUS it's ASUS M2A VM costs 5000Rs,

both are of same 690G chipsets only difference is the company,
so buy it according to ur budgtet,

AMD 690G supports the HDMI... Its a relatively good chipset tho on-board chip wudn be as good as the Intel GMA X3000 fer gamin but is cheapo...

Its a good one... Look fer the Asus...

And Seagate go fer the 250GB... Has the Best cost per GB as o now...

And of corz 7200.10 fer Perpendicular Recordin...

Listen if the E2160 Intel proccy is available dat wud've been the best option... O'clocks like hell!!!! In dat case go fer the ASUS P5N- E sli mobo...
