When Oced e7300 gives performance similar ( or even better than ) e8400.
So why waste Rs. 3000-3500 more on a cpu.

Hey guys got the following quotes today at CTC hyderabad
Biostar Tp45 -Rs 6k no MSI p45 NEo-F
Intel Q8200 -Rs 8800
Transcend 4gb - Rs 1175 x 2
Cm690 - Rs 4200
Corsair 450VX - Rs 4400
Palit 4850 512mb -Rs 8800

No one has got Q9400 damn it, its supposed to be costing 10.5k or so

Any suggestions guys on the configuration and one of the shops which had MSI p45 NEo -F quoted 6500rs

The Q8200 is good CPU. Stick with with. That Biostar board is also good.

The prices seems to be good except :

Corsair VX450W which is Rs. 3900 only.
CM690 is retailing for Rs. 3800.

Be advised, MSI are not good boards. Thinner PCB layer and soemtimes pretty restricted overclocking. Better off with i45 biostar. Biostar has made many good overclocks and its one solid premium board. The distri for biostar is abacus. Make sure to buy the powerchip or elpida IC version of transcend jetrams. The way you can find out is to see the letter P for powerchip or E for elpida on the barcode of the sticker on the ram.- though I prefer spending more on rams rather than on processors like g skills on 4-4-4-12 @t on 1.8~1.9v, but that's your choice. Make sure you are using 4GB on 64 bit OS though, 32 bit os uses only 3GB.

AMD phenom 2 940 by launching in INDIA end of FEB/09 or mar/09 the price of 940 is 12000/- "AMD reduced" check on the newegg

If u get phenom 2 940 for gaming u sure wont be disappointed .

Dont get BIOSTAR mobo its not stable one get the

if u r going for future crossfire

then MSi K9A2 Platinum v2 supports 4 GPUs - 8700/-

if u r not going for crossfire then choose - ASUS M3A79 mobo - 5300/-

both the boards are stable for better OCing , phenom 2 940 needs better OCing board

K

But K9A2 Platinum V2 has only SB600 mate where as i'm looking SB750 as its better for overclocking

^^^ this mobo .... GA-MA78G-DS3H

But both Phenom 920 and 940 overclock to the same, and dun spend the xtra 2-3k on the 940, get the 920.

And get the Jeyway Hummer HA06 780G mobo instead for Rs.5000
*www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/phenom-ii-x4-920-overclocking_4.html#sect0

But I heard that Jetway mobos heat sink is not so good.

So I think it's wise to get Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H. It's Rs. 5K &
Phenom 920 as you mentioed.

K

ts Intel Vs AMD back to the good old days i guess
Intel Configuration:
Intel Q8200 9k
MSI NEo-FR3 or Asus P5Q Intel P45 chipset 1600 FSB 8.3k
MSI 4850 8.9k
Transcend 4GB 2.2k
Zebby Antibiotic 2k
Corsair 450VX 4k
Total 34k

AMD Configuration:
AMD Phenom II 920 - 11.8k
Bio-star 790GX -4.2k or Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H AMD 780G + SB700 Chip set - 5k
Transcend 4GB 800mhz - 2.2k
Zebby Antibiotic -2k
Corsair 450VX -4k
MSI 4850 - 8.9k
Total -33k
