what is UPS-600VA - UPS-625VA - UPS-800VA - UPS-1000VA ......which is better...????
planing to buy ups for PC....configuration ...

AMD Phenom II X2 555: 3.2GHz + ASUS motherboard + 1 GB ati radeon + 4 Gb DDR3 RAM + 500 sata HDD + 450 PSUW power supplies + 17 CRT monitor

1 GB ati radeon

what is the full model number?

Its an HD4350 (check his siggy)
An intex/zebronics 600va should be enough.

I think APC 600VA would be a better choice - priced around ~1.8k ;-)

+1 for APC 600VA ups.

guys please explain me what is different between UPS-600VA - UPS-625VA - UPS-800VA - UPS-1000VA......in basic infomation ...???

^^ In general : with increased series number the backup time and ability to run more power consuming devices from the UPS will be possible.

Now consider the load situation with an example : with a 600VA ups you can put a max load of 360W and with a 800VA ups you can run a more power hungry rig .

Now coming to the backup time : if you draw 360 out from a 600VA UPS constantly the UPS will only give backup time of of around 2+ mins

say you have a rig which consumes 200W so a 600VA UPS will provide around 8-10 mins backup time and with a 800VA ups will get better backup time ;-)

So in short while shopping for a UPS you have to consider two things : how much load you will put on the UPS and how much longer you need backup time from a UPS.

great explanation. Great for everyone in this forum. +1.

^^ thanks - made some changes ;-)
