D965RY (x3000 GMA supporting DX10 for Vista) under 5k

I think i sud go for C2D kit...

i m going for Dual core 3.0 with 945 GCC original for 7.4K...

May 31, 2007 at 3:35 PM
Aviod 945 based boards, if u have budget problem then stick to D102GGC with Dual Core 3.0... other wise think of G965 based ones... !!!

wat is the problem with 945 bro??

May 31, 2007 at 3:46 PM
Well If u like certainly buy a 945, its ur PC, but as u asked for suggestion therefore i suggested what i though should be better for ur :lol:

anyway, why i say D102GGC !!

because the X200 ATi Chipset for D102GGC certainly better than 945/946 ones with with Dual Core Pentium D processor... !!

OK.. when u dont have any option then i guess u have to go for what available... now if ur budget is 8k, think of AMD X2 sulutions... Check some price from here, *www.theitwares.com/motherboards/motherboards.htm

an AMD X2 4400 with may be Asus M2N MX should come under ur budget !!

(Note that Prices are in that web site is atleast 10 to 15 % higher than actaul Street Price in local area !!)
