Help Upgrading PC

[Sushubh]

i am yet to find a dealer around here who is happy dealing with amd in india. amd is said to have a crappy service support for warranty related issues.

that's true..intel cleverly hides the fact that they are not true quad core processors..

Off-Topic: Sorry for this, but didn't want to waste a thread for it.

I need an external HDD for my media. It wont be transported a lot, but will be interchanged laptop to PC. Size required is 500GB or higher. Please recommend models and mention their prices.

afaik 500gb are for 2.9ka 320gb one would be for 2.4k.

WD is certainly better compared to Seagate and Samsung when it comes to HDD ..

 

[dreammachine]

think about 4GB RAM only if you are planning to run a 64 bit OS.

otherwise 2GB is just fine.

make sure you buy a good quality power supply with enough capacity for the processor and the graphic card.

a cheap SMPS can make running a desktop painful.

Just wondering how a a cheap SMPS matters :huh: as it only supllies power

 

[Sushubh]

and power is the only raw material your PC requires. right?a cheap SMPS can lead to hardware damage. it would not support the high end components which draw more electricity. try connecting a powerful processor with 3 hard disks along with a new generation graphic card to a 500 rupee smps... you would know what i am talking about here.
