Could not fit in the question in topic title, so here it is.
I am finally getting myself a new desktop, but only buying a new CPU + MB + RAM.

My budget shall be 20K at max!! I recently assembled an AMD X2 4800 on a ASUS P5 ( dont remember the exact model no) for my dad. It gave a pretty impressive rating on Vista with Proc. Mem. HD being between 5 - 6 and the graphix between 3-4.

The Proc is fine with me, but do you guys suggest some other MB with a better onboard graphix. The ASUS MB had Nvidia 6100.

That MB also had just 2 RAM slots, do any of you know of any other MB with 4 RAM slots?

Help me assemble a mean machine, but within 20K.

Transcend 2 GB 800 MHz ram = 2050
Total: 10700
2. Intel Core 2 Duo 4500 = Rs 4850
ABIT IP35-E motherboard = Rs 5715
Corsair 2GB 800 Mhz ram = Rs 3800
