Hi All Genious, Help Plez

I have Intel pentium 4 cpu 3.00ghz + D915GAV Motherboard + 80gb sata + 512 ddr ram + nvidia geforce pcx 5300

But i want to upgread my pc, I want to purchase 250 gb hd, ddr2 ram & best grafix card & UPS so plez suggest me a good brand products with price in mumbai.

Is d DDR2 ram supported to my D915GAV Motherboard?

Plez give some extra info also...to boost up my pc 4 animation softwares like 3d max, maya etc.....

Plez suggest the good quality UPS [Ultra Power Saver]

Thanks In Advance....

Nope ur mobo doesnt support ddr2 ram..
BTW increase ur ram to 2gb and get a better GPU..
or upgrade ur whole pc..
U ll get a seagate 250gb sata hdd for 2.5k..
1 gb ddr 400 mhz ram for 1.8k..
and a xfx 8600gt 256mb gddr3 for 5.5k..

If you want to boost your pc for animation get around 2GB or 4GB ram.
Get a powerful card with atleast 256 mb memory.
Mention your budget so i can suggest you the card?

Also from next time onwards don't give the thread such silly title.
Atleast describe your query in short for the title.

Abe pappu tu yaha bhi tapak pada tere se info li na maine now i m collecting more info....
& ya i m going to purchase 2 1gb rams & i want grafix card which supports directx 10. is the xfx 8600gt 256mb gddr3 supports dx 10?

@Cool G5, I only want d good parts so there is no need to ask my budget...

Plez post the good brand also

seagate is good 4 250hd?
which brand best 4 ddr ram?
which brand 4 UPS?
With Price Plez.

For harddisk Seagate is good.
For Ram look for Kingston.
Pathiks has already mentioned the prices.
About UPS i don't know which is reliable.The other members will help you.

Yes...seagate is good.
For RAM-->>kingston or transend or hynix.
UPS-->> APC 500 VA Rs. 2200/-

Get 600VA APC, just to make sure that it can handle the systems load. Though i think 500VA can take the load, get the 600 in case u add somethin later.

For HDD, get 320Gb seagate perpendicular for 3.5k. Much better performance than 250Gb seagate normal.
Get the card from XFX. Dun settle for 8600GT UDF3, which has heating issue. Get model UDF7.

For memory u can get6 any of these:
Kingston, Transcent, Corsair etc.
Get 2x1Gb sticks and use that new ones only, coz if u use ur old 512 with it, u can't get dual channel.
2Gb dual channel is better than 2.5GB single ch.

Ohhh Great, BIG THANKS TO ALL OF U GUYS,

I m going to purchase,

320Gb seagate perpendicular for 3.5k
Transend 1gb * 2 Ram [ As they given LifeTime Warranty ]
APC 500 VA Rs. 2200/- [ Only want to save my work & turn off the pc safely ]

Now i m only confuse about gfx card as i know u suggest me, XFX 8600gt

but pathiks suggest me xfx 8600gt 256mb gddr3 &
aravind_n20 suggtest me Same card but whats this gddr3, UDF3, UDF7???

Is the XFX 8600gt supports direct x 10? & Finally which is the best in this & 4 what price???

Also suggest me a good quality DVD WRITER as now i have Sony DVD RW DW-D22A but its not working.
My Sony DVD RW DW-D22A reads normal cd's & dvd's but writes only normal cd's & gives problem in dvd write as well if cd is having some scratch then also it rejects to read it, this is 4 normal cd also....so i want good writer which reads scratchable cd's also.

I want to cell my 512ddr 400mhz hynix ram, sony dvd writer & nvidia geforce pcx 5300 so whats the good price 4 sell this all parts?

Once again thanks 4 ur help...

GDDR3 8600GT is better than the DDR2 version. The main difference is that in GDDR3 the ram can run at higher clock speeds making it faster than the DDR2 ram..

Thanks nvidia8800,

So GeForce 8600 GT supports the dx 10, what ur reviews on GeForce 8600 GTS ?? & wahts d price of GeForce 8600 GTS? Is the GTS is better then GT ?

CHECK THE DIFFERENCE IN GeForce 8600 GT & GeForce 8600 GTS

Whats the price of GeForce 8800 GT?

Is Crysis is working on GeForce 8600 GT ? I understand the GDDR3 matter but whats this UDF3, UDF7?

Sorry about lots of questions but i want better results 4 my money thats why i m asking...hope u r going to help me, Thanks.

NO1 WANTS TO HELP ME???
i FIX THE HD, RAM & UPS JUST SUGGEST THE GFX CARD, DVD WRITER & GOOD SELLING PRICE 4 512ddr 400mhz hynix ram, sony dvd writer & nvidia geforce pcx 5300.

ABOUT GFX CARD WHATS THIS UDF3, UDF7??? WHICH I PERFER UDF3 OR UDF7? MAY I DEMAND xfx 8600gt 256mb gddr3 UDF3 OR xfx 8600gt 256mb gddr3 UDF7 ????

xfx 8600gt 256mb gddr3 IS BETTER THAN xfx 8600gts 256mb gddr3????

WHATS THE PRICE OF xfx 8600gts 256mb gddr3????

PLEZ HELP SOON...THANKS.

Yes, all 8 series cards support DX10.
Crysis runs just fine on 8600GT but you cannot play it under very high.
Btw if you can tell us the budget for your Graphics Card then we could help you further.
Price of 8600GT ~ 5800Rs
8600GTS ~ 11500Rs.
UDF3 UDG7 etc are only under XFX products. Everythig in the card remains the same except the clock speed. The UDF7 and the UDF3 are the same i think.
But the UUD3/UDD7 is different. Their core clock speeds is 620Mhz compared to 540Mhz on the UDF3. And Memory Clock is 1.6GHz instead of 1.4Ghz.

For more information on the product comparison go to
*www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listComparableProducts.jspa?series=GeForce%26trade%3B+8600&seriesId=1054321

Thanku so much nvidia8800, so finally i decide to go 4 XFX 8600GT ~ 5800rs but only suggest 1 from this,
UDF3? UDF7? UUD3 OR UU7? IS THE PRICE IS SAME 4 ALL? & MY POWER SUPPLY IS 400W SO THIS XFX 8600GT SUPPORTS MY POWER SUPPLY? I CHECK THE MAIN NVIDIA SITE THE POWER SUPPLY REQUIRES 4 8600GT IS 300W BUT JUST ASKING...

PRICE OF 8600GTS IS BIT TO HIGH COMPAIRE TO 8600GT & ITS FEATURES BUT IF I GO 4 8600GTS THEN MY DEAL IS GOOD OR NOT?

I M GOING 4--

XFX 8600GT 256mb gddr3 FOR 5.5K [PLEZ SUGGEST THAT UDF/UUD]

320Gb seagate perpendicular for 3.5k

Transend 1gb * 2 Ram [ As they given LifeTime Warranty ] FOR 3.6K

APC 500 VA FOR 2.2K [ Only want to save my work & turn off the pc safely ]

ONLY REMAINING IS BEST DVD WRITER AS MY Sony DVD RW DW-D22A NOT WRITES THE DVDS ANYMORE. CHECK THE POST NO #8, MY ROM IS DAMAGE OR WHAT?

UDF3 was the first version released from XFX. Its the normal non overclocked version, but had some heating issues and was discontinued. XFX replaced that series with the newer UDF7 model with all specs being same, nd fixed the overheating issue.
But some shopkeepers wanna clear their UDF3 stocks, so theyll even reduce the prices than normal ones for that models.
UDF3 has limited overclockability.
8600GTS has poor value for money. Even 7900GS for 9k beats it hands down. But its only advantage over 7900GS/GT is its DX10.

Cards like 8800GT has gr8 value for money @13k, but i seriously doubt that ur current proccy wud be bottleneck for such cards. 8600GT suits ur need.

Thanks for importanrt info. aravind_n20..
ya i m also thinking the same as my mobo, proccy & 400w power supply is not good 4 highend cards so if i purchase 8800 series then i have to change all things & at least 4 now thats not possiable so XFX 8600gt is far better 4 me now as it costs me 5.5k so i can replace it later....but fianally UDF7 or UUD7? & cost is same na??

suggest me dvd writer also with price. what about Nec 3500AG??

=========================

Oops i forget to ask bro's, now i have samsung 80gb sata & now i m going to purchase 320Gb seagate perpendicular so is there any problem with this coz of different brands or coz of difference in size as 80gb is to low then 320gb.

which hd i prefer as my primary hd? 80gb samsung or 320gb seagate?? this realy matters? or antthing is okkk?

400W will be enough to run 8600GT. But for smoother performance get atleast 450W PSU which will be enough.

Thanks bro but thats not possiable 4 now at least i have to stick with 400w. tell me yaar may i go 4 udf 7 or uud 7? whats the price 4 uud 7?

Gimee some info about hard disk, plez read post no #14...Thanks to all friends & realy sorry 4 lotz of questions but realy i want to purchase some good 4 my money & realy don't want to do any single mistake.

Youre Welcome.

I dont think there is something like primary and secondary in SATA like IDE.
If it exists then make the new one as Primary/master.
You can use 2 hdds of different companys and different size..

@CHALLENGER
DVDRW: go for liteon 20X or liteon 20X lightscribe for 1.4k and 1.7k.

Or Asus 18X Sata Lightscribe is a gud choice for 1.75k

There is no probs in adding another HDD. Be it 320 ro 750 or 1TB.
And u can use either of them as primary. Perpendicular ones has better performance, so install OS on it.

As for card, first check which one is available with ur local dealer. Then decide considering each's price.

I dont know about the udf3 ddd7....etc,etc.
For more information on those goto XFX's website.
I already told you that the main difference between them is the clock speeds. So buy the one with higher clock speed

yappy realy realy great thanks nvidia8800 & aravind_n20...u both realy help me a lot..

FINALLY I M GOING TO PURCHASE....

GFX CARD = XFX GeForce 8600GT 256MB DDR3 DUAL DVI XXX (PV-T84J-UDD3, PV-T84J-UDD7) [AS BETTER FAN SPPED THEN UDF3 & UDF7]

HARD DISK = SEAGATE PERPENDICULAR 320GB 7200RPM

RAM = 2 * 1 GB TRANSEND DDR 400MHZ

DVD RW = Asus 18X Sata Lightscribe

IS THIS FINE? IF U STILL HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEZ FEEL FREE TO POST IT BUT SOON..I HAVE ONLY 2/3 DAYS LEFT. THANKS ONCE AGAIN 4 GREAT HELP.

I WANT TO SELL THIS, SUGGEST ME A GOOD SELLING PRICE 4 512ddr 400mhz hynix ram, Sony DVD RW DW-D22A & nvidia geforce pcx 5300.

Dun sell off the old DVDRW. Use two of them. Its a great to have 2 DVDRW on a PC. believe me...its worth.

There may be in rare cases that some discis not supported in some drives. So u can do it in other drive. And also u can copy 2 discs simultaneously as HDD is more than twice as faster than ODD.

Finally Suggest me a good shop in mumbai if u know any...4 good quality, original products for good price as well better in service.

What about rashi peripherals?

ya i m also thinkikn the same as my sony dvd works fine 4 normal cds, it also reads the dvd but only give errror in dvd writing...ok ur suggestion is realy a good. Thanks bro, i m not going to sell my sony dvd so whats the good price 4,

512ddr 400mhz hynix ram & nvidia geforce pcx 5300??

Wat do u mean by perpendicular ones???

Now there are some HDDs which uses perpendicular recording technology in which the magnetized materials are arranged perpendicular to the surface. In that way the the flux interference b/w consecutive bits are minimum.
Also higher density of data can be achieved and therefore better speed coz more data can be read/sec without further increasing the rotational speed from 7k rpm.
Its a bit more expensive too, bout some 200~300 bucks.

I mean sata device 1 by da name primary. In case of sata, devices are addressed by sata1,sata2,sata3..etc. and in most systems the bootloader is obtained from sata1 drives.[here sata1, sata2 etc is not related to standards like SATA1, SATA2 etc, but the sata port addresses].

pushkaraj said:

Seagate has released 7200.1 range of HDDs which use the perpendicular recording technology.

May i go 4 Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 320-GB Hard Drive [ ST3320620AS ] OR

Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 320-GB Hard Drive [ST3320820AS]

ST3320620AS have 16-MB cache buffer &
ST3320820AS have 8-MB cache buffer

which1 is better??? 1st 1 na which have 16-MB cache buffer???

ya 4 more info about seagate hard disks check here,

SEAGATE

Get the 7200.10 16mb buffer drive.. Seagate offers 5 yr warranty i think.. Also if possible sell off ur mobo and proccy too. And get a new biostar p35 + e6750 for around 11k.. U can save money on the dvd rw by getting a sony dru 835a

YA PATHIK I M GOING TO BUY Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 320-GB Hard Drive ( ST3320620AS ) WHICH IS 16-MB cache buffer & 5 YEARS WARRANTY.

NO YAAR I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO CHANGE MOBO & PROCCY. I M JUST CHANGING OTHER THINGS 4 ANIMATION SOFTWARES & 4 FEW GOOD GAMES...I M GING TO PURCHASE NEW PC IN 2009 SO DON'T WANT TO USE MORE MONEY...

& WHAT ABOUT THIS sony dru 835a? IS THIS GOOD THEN Asus 18X Sata Lightscribe??? COZ I ALL READY HAVE SONY WRITER & I M REALY NOT SATISFY WITH IT AS I ONLY WRITE 1/2 DVDS ON IT & NOW ITS SHOWING ME A ERROR EVERYTIME....PLEZ GIVE MORE INFO...THANKS

=====================

& I Thinhk Asus Is More Cheaper Then Sony

nowadays sony sux.....liteon nd Asus are best...nd maybe benq too is gud.
But my vote is for Asus nd liteon.

@challenger- Don't write everything in bold it hurts the eye.

ya nowdays sony realy sux, 1of my friend is having asus & its working very fine. i don't know the model no but i m going 4 asus as i all realy have sony writer & i m not satisfy with it.

ya sorry Cool G5.

Me too have sony DVD RW and its almost dead now. Going for either liteon 20x for 1.4 or Asus sata lightscribe for 1.7k.

Didn't know that perpendicular recording has already been implemented. I remember reading about it in digit magazine a few months back in the section WHAT'S HOT. Btw i read somewhere in the random news section that seagate had installed malware in some of its newer hard disks. Just a word of caution. I don't know if seagate has already done something about it. Just be cautious. And if there are any hard disks by western digital using perpendicular recording technology then you can opt for them. I think wd also gives 5 years warranty.

OFF TOPIC : Well EXplained @ aravind_n20

though id like to add up one small thing : the standards which you call SATA 1 and SATA 2 (im not talking about port addresses) are not actually ! and 2... they are SATA I and SATA II ...

II is an acronym for Institute *something* i dont remember but its not 2 , its two 'i' s :))

anyways.. that what i had to say...

Check out this website -> *www.serialata.org/namingguidelines.asp

The term SATA II has grown in popularity as the moniker for the SATA 3Gb/s data transfer rate, causing great confusion with customers because, quite simply, it’s a misnomer.

The first step toward a better understanding of SATA is to know that SATA II is not the brand name for SATA’s 3Gb/s data transfer rate, but the name of the organization formed to author the SATA specifications. The group has since changed names, to the Serial ATA International Organization, or SATA-IO.

hi all geniuses...no one miss this thread then..LOL

Well Sony drives have never given me any problem.. And even Liteon are good..

hmmm... may be it depends on model & luck

more of luck...and im always unlucky with SONY.

XFX GeForce 8600GT 256MB DDR3 DUAL DVI XXX

OR

XFX FeForce 8600 GT 650M 256MB DDR3 TV DVI PCI-E
(PV-T84J-U1D4)??

Obviously XFX FeForce 8600 GT 650M 256MB DDR3 TV DVI PCI-E
The fatal1ty edition is factory OCed and runs cooler than the normal version...
but it ll also be costlier..

U don't know price??? My budget is around 6500 for gfx card.

pushkaraj said:
Check out this website -> *www.serialata.org/namingguidelines.asp

yeah.. thats what i said.. theres nothing like SATA 2 Standard.. It is the SATA II standard which has (thanx to your information

) changed its name to SATA IO

and @ CHALLENGER

6500 is less for the card you wanna buy... as said, dont go for UDF 3 for avaidong any future problems..

id suggest a simple UDF 7 card... thats newer lot and runs lot cooler.. and AFAIK its damn cheaper than FATALITY edition.

U shd get a vanilla xfx 8600gt udf7 for about 6k... forget fatal1ty..

But uud 7 is better then udf 7 na??? uud 7 has MC 1.6ghz & CR 620 MHz

& udf 7 has MC 1.4ghz & CR 540 MHz

uud7 is costly then 6500???

===============================

& pathik whats this vanilla??? where u found this card plez provide link.

& btw i love butterscoatch..LoL

????????????????????????????????????????

vanilla here meant 'normal'. He suggested to get the normal UDF7 which has the highest value for money. Why shud u waste money for factory overclocking?
U can easily attain those clocks of XXX on any UDF7 cards easily.

And the components used in both UDF& nd XXX are same, so the maximum overclocking potential is same.

Nimmo i thot u wd hav taken ur rig by now.. Vanilla means a normal , plain gpu.. Abhi paka mat.. Ja ke le le.. Btw if u can increase ur budget to 7-8k get a asus en8600gt

pappu i know u r genious but u allways provides half info....& now whats the features of this asus en8600gt.

& why u all suggest me udf7?? uud7 is not good???

uud 7 has MC 1.6ghz & CR 620 MHz &
udf 7 has MC 1.4ghz & CR 540 MHz soo
uud7 is better na????

yup UDD7 is better... Get it if u can..

U told me that vanilla 8600gt is available for 5.5k so my budget is 6.5k soooo..its to much costly kya????

hey guys is the Company of Heroes game is free on 8600 gts xxx & fatality version???

I think you have 3 RAM chips.Than insert the new 2X1GB RAM chip in any slot.No issue of black or blue.

ya i have 3 ram chips now but i m going 2 use only 2 new 1gb chips 4 duel channel. Ok means blue, black dosent matter. Thanks bro.

i now have 80 gb samsung sata & sony dvd writer so i want to add 1 more seagate 400gb sata & asus writer so whats the process, bios settings 4 that?

CHALLENGER said:

Yes..there is no issue of colour.
Just make combination of 1-3 OR 2-4 slots for ur RAM chips for dual channel.

i now have 80 gb samsung sata & sony dvd writer so i want to add 1 more seagate 400gb sata & asus writer so whats the process, bios settings 4 that?

No BIOS setting needed.
1) Add your hard disk in your cabinet..and connect it to SATA port.
2) Add DVD writer, plugin the same PATA wire as used for other ROM.

ok means i have 2 put both chips in blue sockets or in black sockets 4 duel channel. As my sockets r like this,
blueblack blueblack

=========

but there r 2 ports in hd & rom also. I know about that 2 ports which u explain above but what to do about 2nd ports which r 4 power supply but i don't saw any cable from psu. & what about rom jumper.

CHALLENGER said:

yes....

Regarding hard disk:
SATA hard disk need special power cable.That generally comes with motherboard..or buy it from market...will cost around Rs. 25/-

Regarding ROM:
Inser PATA cable in one port..and one simple power cable in second port .Thats it.

Look at this image
*www.jab-tech.com/product_images/driveaway/daw_abcd.gif

The cable with two bundle is SATA power cable.

ohh great great great help bro, thanku so much. I have to purchase that sata power cable.

===================================================

Sorry 4 asking again but here is the image of intel 915 gav & check that 4 slots 4 ram,
blue black blue black

*www.myit365.net/Product_Photo/7620.jpg

So i have to insert 2 * 1 gb rams in blue or black 4 getting dual channel???
if i put both chips in 1st 2 slots then its not a dual channel??? means in blue black...whats the difference if i use 1st blue black slots 4 2 ram chips??? Thanks.

yaar/..for dual chalnnel to work.Use either 1-3 or 2-4 RAm slot combination.Thats it.

There is no issue of colour combination.If you don't use in 1-3 OR 2-4 combination,you won't be able to get dual channel.

ya i understan that There is no issue of colour combination i just use colours. i mean to say that if i put rams in 1 & 2 then why its not a dual channel?? i m asking this just 4 knowledge base.

ok guys, now i want to add new sata hard disk...there r 4 sata ports on my 915 mobo...sata 0 to sata 3..
now my samsung sata connected to port 0 & available ports r 1,2,3 so which port is better 4 new sata 1 or 2???

there is nothing dual channel in hard disk combination.

use any port..to connect your second hard disk.

ya i know there is nothing dual channel in hard disk combination but i just ask 4 other benifit so i m going to use 1st port which is near to port 0 like this,

port3 port2
port0 port1

so there is better space between port 0 & port 1 Thanks Man.

Add hdds in alternate ports for better air flow..
and ad ur ram modules in alternate slots if u want dual channel..

I think intel 915 board don't have onboard LAN CARD.

PLEASE READ MOTHERBOARD MAUANL FOR CONFORMATION.

buy a LAN card.It will cost you around Rs. 150/-

seems ur mobo doesnt have onboard lan ..... so buy a Lan card for about 150/- and it will be plugged in any one of the PCI Slots ( the four white colored slots on ur mobo ...........) .... hope it solves ur prob .....!

hahaha, i think u don't understand.
I purchase lan card & i want right port to insert that lan card & i m asking which 915gav port is 4 lan card.

i clearly mention in my post no #69 that where to add lan card on 915gav?

may i use any port from that 4 white ports?

I think you would me much better off with a mother board upgrade, CPU upgrade along with ddr2 ram, a decent graphics card, etc.

Whats the point of investing this much on an old config? If you said money is no problem, then run after a new tower with a new power supply, 500 gb hdd, ddr2 2x4 gb ram, cooling system, a cpu with min 4 mb l2 cache and min 2 cores with each cores at a min 3.2 Ghz, a grapphics card with ddr3 ram, etc.

and please, don't write in big bold letters, it annoys people.

Log in XP.
start-->>right click my computer-->>manage-->>Disk management

There U will find new hard disk as DISK1...as raw.Make your partitions

i am assuming u have another hard drive with os installed ....
so just plug the new hard disk, boot from ur first hard disk .... goto Properties of my computer-->Manage-->disk management and make partitions .......

Ya i have another hard drive with os installed, Ok i will try to do so but its safe na??? coz i never done this b4 i always creat patitions when installing a window.

If U unable to create partition like that.........boot using using XP CD, and than make partition.

But i don't want to install xp on new sata. is there any idea??

ya & NTFS is good or FAT32?

NTFS.
And Ravi isn't telling you to install XP,he is asking you to boot from XP CD & then partition using it.
After partitoning is over quit the setup.

@ CHALLENGER
I have not read throughthis entire thread

If your os is onwards win 2000 you can easily create partion in a GUI enviroment.
For this go to control panet > Administrative Tools > Computer Management >
Disk Management

As for LAn cards try dlink, asus, enter GB lan cards. they'll be around Rs. 800-1000

As for PSU try Antec, corsair, cooler master. They will be around 3000 - 5000.

Get a Zebronics Platinum 500W for 1.5k.

Thanks, i have some questions also..

1] Good company lan card increases internet speed? means now i have intex so if i purchase dlink or any other better company lan card then i will get better speed???

2] Is there any possibility to join Mobile office [Airtels dial-up connection] & Lan net together for increasing net speed?

Plez Help, Thanks.

Good company LAN can only increase reliability.
Most LAN work at spped 10 Mbps..and generally our ISP provide maximum speed 2 Mbps.

2] Is there any possibility to join Mobile office [Airtels dial-up connection] & Lan net together for increasing net speed?

Plez Help, Thanks.

Click to expand...

I dont think U can do so....

Thanks ravi_9793, okk but is there any possibility that i can use both connections [dial-up & lan] at a time?? means if i connect mobile office pc takes that connection as default & my speed goes down even if lan net is connected so how to use both nets [differently] at a time?

ie if i want to use lan for firefox & mo for opera so how can i do it as both nets r without proxy & u have to set net settings in both browsers to direct connection to internet. Thanks.

No u cant.

Hmmmmmm...Thanks bro.

=======
Any1 know hacking lan or something to bust net speed???

hey challenger, how much did ur hardisk cost u?? was there a price diffrence between perpendicular recording hdd and regular hdd????
