g31 mobo er cheye mone hoe abit or gigabyte er p35 better

g31 mobo er cheye mone hoe abit or gigabyte er p35 better

yah better but price o better
but mobo doesnt effect that much such as cpu gpu ram do if ne1 is not OCing his pc or do the extra caricature
so higher cpu gpu is preferable to me..

true !!

G31 mobo is not meant for gaming . its meant for multemedia system.

get a gigabyte p35 based mobo....if budget allows. better power stability

a 2.1 speaker price is 4500tk/-
now u guess how the performance should be..
otherwise ppl wont buy with such a high price

Pentium dual Core E5200 - 6200
Core2 Duo E7200 - 9000
Core2 Duo E8200 - 11500

The Only difference in these 3 model are cache.
If you go from E5200 to E7200.. you pay about 3000tk more to get 1 mb cache.
If you go from E7200 to E8200.. you pay about 3000tk more to get 3 mb cache.. which is worth the money... LOLz then again
If you pay 3000tk more.. You can get the Q6600 Quad core with 2mb more cache and 2 more Cores.. LOLz


You shouldnt give priority to the CPU..
Get a Good GPU then think of spending on the CPU.

Get a 4850 or 4870

Advantages:
1. Price/Performane advantage
2. Supports Direct X 10.1 & shader model 4.1
3. Has a HD 7.1 Audio

Disadvantades:
1. Doesnt support Nvidias Physx, but will support Havoks Physics


Get a 9800GTX or GTX 260

Advantages:
1. Physx Support

Disadvantages:
1. Doest support Direct X 10.1 & shader model 4.1
2. The chips are defective .. & the rumor seems to be true!! (the GTX 2XX series shouldnt have the problem, but older cards should have the problem)

GPU Gets damages after a year or so.. cuz of repeted heating and cooling down of the GPU (the more the process continues the faster ur GPU will die.. it was 1st detected on laptops bcuz laptops are more often switched on & off. Sth to do with The Lead underfill Nvidia uses.

Checkout the post or Link -> Nvidia chips show underfill problems.

There is another notable difference between E5200(OR E5300) and other 45nm intel processor. 65nm core2duo or core2quad and 45nm E5200/E5300 do not support SSE 4.1 instructions while other 45nm intel c2d c2q processors hav sse4.1.

Thanks 4 adding these infos... was too lazy to add them

The Core2 duos and Quads also support hardware virtualisation

[Muradd9]

core 2 duo E7200 2.53GHz 1066MHz FSB ~ 9k
g31 mobo ~ 4k
2 GB DDR II RAM 800MHz ~ 2.5k
250 GB SATA HDD ~ 3.5k
DVD writer ~ 2.5k
ATI 4850 512MB ~ 15k
Casing ~ 2k
Thermaltake PSU 450W ~ 4k
Speaker ~ Altec Lancing :S
Keyboard, Mouse ~ .5k
UPS 650 VA ~3k

Everything is good/very good.
Update: Ram transcend 800bus~2K.

Dont get the cheap case(2k). Get atleast Delux case(2.5k~3.4k) or Space case with 12cm fan(3k).
Goldenfield or Delux server case will be very good(~5k). The goldenfield server case is around 13 kg! and 1mm thick. the psu(550watt,[email protected]) come with it is enough for the rig and very stable voltage output in load codition(tested).
In case of mobo try to get a 7.1 sound onboard even u use 2.1 speaker. Most 7.1 onboard sound are ALC888 or ALC883 chip and much better than 5.1 onboard ALC662.

Tt450watt!! It may be 400watt litepower(3.5k) or 420watt tr2(4.5k).
Avoid 400watt litepower(made by Delta and [email protected]) or any delux psu including dlp34,dlp31(350watt~700watt) except delux dlp50(500~600watt).
Tr2 420watt([email protected]), chieftec 450/500watt([email protected]~30A) or forepoint/focus/fortrex 500watt([email protected]) will be enough.

Thanks for remind me about virtulization.

Btw virtulization is not necessary for normal pc user and it is not related to performence but SSE4.1 will speed up many application.

If u buy abit mobo dont buy anything but the ip35 pro great overclocker.. But abit is closing mobo business this year so.. Ar q6600 khujte giye amar jei obstha hoise onek koshte ekta paisi.. Had 2 wait 2 months for it though
