Hello everyone,

Here's my present rig:

Intel P4 (2.6 ghz)
Intel 815
512 MB DDR1
IDE Drives: 2 HDDs,1 DVD-RW Drive.
PS-300W

No prizes for guessing the reason for upgrade. :)

Only CPU required

Budget : Max 15k


Only one suggestion: I want to connect my IDE devices to the new systems.

Want to run POP FS

Thanks for ur time and efforts.
However, does this mobo support IDE devices too?

Also, the prices are higher for these products in Mumbai

Before assuming price from any online shop, try to visit market for getting an overview of latest details of hardware price.

I called at Lamington Rd. and found them a bit costlier

The dealers wont tell you the exact price over phone. Better visit Lamington Road and get the least possible price after bargaining, from different shops.
