I want to buy a new computer.
It should be able to handle Vista,Fedora Core and Ubuntu without any problems.
It should also be able to play the latest games without any problems.
I am still unsure of going with Intel or AMD.

XFX 7600GT 256 MB Rs 10,000 or Get a Palit 7600GT Rs 7500
2X512 MB DDR 2 RAM (Kingston) Rs 3800
Intel 915GEV Motherboad Rs 3000
Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.0 GHz(Prescott) 630 Rs 5000
Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse
Creative 5.1 4X8W+18W+22W SUB Rs 3500
250GB HDD
Samsung 17 Inch CRT Monitor
Antec 500 Watt Smps

I think it may be better to go for AMD X2 3800+ and ASUS M2N8-VMX bundled for less than 7.5k instead of P4 bundle for 8k... The above config does not include monitor - 15" CRT is basic, but you may want to go for 17" CRT if the rest of the budget is okay... Also, I think that with 7600GT, Palit brand was available at 7.5k as per PC World March 2007 edition... Other things to consider would be Combo drive/DVD-Writer and a good casing with decent SMPS

BTW, I notice the 2.1 speaker costs rather high... You can instead go for Creative Inspire 5.1 which will work out much cheaper...

WAise why dont you suggest him Athlon X2s??? He can save a few grands and can invest more in RAM or gfx.

well nforce mobo's r costly n not easily availabe .

yeas u won't be able to use the Aero interface of vista without a powerful GFX card .

last , yes Core 2 Duo is 64 bit , but u wouldn't need that coz most apps u'll use r 32 bit , so u'll only get degraded performance if you install 64 bit vista n run 32 bit apps .
