Hi!

i want to upgrade to the 64 bit processor. Please tell me the prices of
AMD 3000+ XP(64bit) and above processors and a supported ASUS or Gigabyte m/b with model number and price.

Please suggest me a good configuration. (only processor, m/b, and RAM is needed)

Thank you

What's ur present config? If its not very ancient, I suggest u hold on a little bit longer. Prices have fallen a bit and they will fall further when the new socket 939 64s are launched in India. Waiting for the 939s makes sense as they are soon going to replace the present 64s. But if u still want a 64 right now, u should be able to get one for around 8 k plus.
btw, one prominent advantage of the 939s over the present 64s is support of dual channel memory..ergo, better performance. (don't mind the "ergo"s...I'm a Matrix fan!).

300 watts is the bare min. If u wanna go for a 64 with a matching card, hi performance HDD etc. get a min of 430 watts. If u have the money to spare, try an Antec. They rock!

AMD 64 2800+ 8.5k approx
Asus K8V mobo 7k / Gigabyte K8T800M - 5k.
Transcend/Corsair 512Mb DDR400 6k
Hdd Samsung/Seagate 160GB 6k
Monitor 17 6k
Kbrd+mouse 1k
Sony/Liteon Cd-rw 1.7k
Creative sound blaster sndcrd 2k
Creative 4.1 3.2k
Radeon 9800pro 12.5k

I gave this config to some other dude too. See if this helps u. if u'd like a gigabyte Mobo based on the same chipset it wud cost ya 5k. But naga is right when he says just hold on a little bit till the newer 939's arrive.
