Yes! an Upgrade
Hmm… the title doesn’t refer to that I have upgraded my wordpress by paying the certain amount , it means that atlast I have upgraded my PC and I have damn happy about it. Well for me getting an upgrade for my “Living Dead”(Name of my older PC config) is a great deal and new config seems to be powerful enough. I will list my configuration here then put it in my about page.
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 3600+
- ASUS M2NPV-MX
- Chipset: Northbridge: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 GPU
Southbridge: NVIDIA nForce 430 MCP - A new black and silver cabinet
- A new set of Creative 2.1 speakers
- 1 GB DDR2 RAM
So, now nearly whole of my computer has been upgraded except for my monitor and my keyboard not my mouse as I had bought a new one a month back. So, hows it I havent tested it much really but it seems blazing fast rendering in 3dsmax seemed easy but I will have to test it with Autodesk Maya Unlimited 8 to tell how good it really is. I am playing Path of the Neo and soon will get Need for Speed: Most Wanted. So, you can expect reviews on games here after. I haven’t really pushed it to limits I will try to encode a DVD movie to divx today and see how much time it takes. I had the upgrade done on 30th August but was too lazy to post about it. This was one of my happiest posts.
Edit: Forgot to add about the RAM.

Coolies, but what is the fate of the old one? I’d suggest connecting it to the new one and learning some networking too

[...] The specs aren’t over-droolable like Kato’s but nevertheless it is a solid PC and a good investment for the future, best of all budget-friendly. What I really looked forward to was a slick PC with all the modern thrills and frills but at the same time something that wouldn’t burn a huge hole in my wallet. As a result I decided to give more importance to the inner parts and settled for ordinary devices outside, the aesthetics are pretty good though. [...]

Hey Karthik can you tell me from which shop did you buy this config. As one of my friends also needs something like your config. If you can give the phone number it would be great.

Hey man I wanna ask something
I am about to buy pc in same budget as urs
the guy at computer store told me to buy a Pentium D 820 instead of the system you mentioned above (except for 512 MB RAM instead 1GB) he said go for PD or if u are a AMD enthusiast go for X2 3800+ but not 3600+. PD’s are also a little less expensive here. Can you guys comment on it and recommend me best buy in this budget.
