Why not get BSNL Home 500? 2.5GB free, 2mbps speed and Night Unlimited from 2-8am. Much much better.

ek raat mein 4GB download karo. :mrgreen:

Hmm gagan i will talk with my dad. Thanks for info.

880GMA-UD2H has SATA3 6gbps and USB 3.0 which 880GM-UD2H doesn't.

Very easily.

W

so is it better to opt for gma or gm will be fine

Its always best to be future proof.

yup, worth spending the extra 1k in 880GMA-UD2H.

@ico and jassy
thanks for the bband plans wind-up

W

hey sorry for the late post but is GA-870A-UD3 (rev. 2.2) better than GA-880GMA-UD2H (rev. 2.2)
also can i use my old hcl cabinet for my configuration

Whats the price?

W

GA-870A-UD3 (rev. 2.2) 4700
GA-880GMA-UD2H (rev. 2.2)4800

also can i use my previous cabinet

^^ better go for the 880GMA. you are getting IGP & if you ever need to send your GPU for servicing, you can atleast use your PC.

previous cabinet can be used but if possible install 2 fans for better airflow. 1 intake & 1 to force warm air out.

yup, +1 to sammy.

Any Phenom Quad Core available around 6k??

AMD Phenom II X4 945.

No point in going for it because AMD is updating their CPU line up with Bulldozer in May-June. You're better off spending a little extra and going with Intel Core i5-2400.

However, compared to the previous gen Core i3-530/540, the Athlon II X4s are better.

955BE is also available for 6.5k

what is the eexpected price of bulldozer lineup? should i wait for it or go with athlon II X4 635? will be ordering it in a few days.

^^ if budget can't exceed the price of Athlon II X4, get it. no price update about bulldozer. also it'll take a month or two for the price of bulldozer to settle & available freely once its launched. so to be precise, BZ is still 6months away (maybe more).
