"So i want to sell my old CPU only".
i am not going to sell my CRT monitor, printer etc.


So my previous CPU configuratuion is
1) MOTHERBOARD=GIGABYTE 81845GV
2) RAM=256mb DDR1
3) PROCESSOR=Intel 2.4
4) LG DVD WRITER
5)Two 40gb HDD

So my Budget is 6500 to 7000Rs+Price of old CPU


So i want to sell my old CPU and take a New one


SO plz suggest me what would be the price of my old CPU after selling and Which new motherboard,Ram, and processor should i take.



I am very Thankfull to those who reply for my thread!!!!!!!!!

Name your processor correctly...

My guess is that this config may not fetch more than 4-5k.. I maybe wrong too

no1 will buy ur processor to be honest.
Get ur budget upto 13k and u can get an ok/midrange brand new rig.
If u want specs 4 new rig here they r:
processor AMD 5000+ = 2.7k
Mobo : palit 780G = 3.8k
ram: 2gb(2x1gb) DDr2 800 =1.5k
keep ur old DVD writer or get new =1.2k
160GB HDD = 2.2k
some case with psu = 1.7k.
total:13.1k

If u want an even low budget rig :
AMD 5000+
mobo= giga 740G = 3.3k
ram = 1GB ddr2 800 = 750
keep ur old DVD writer or get new =1.2k
160GB HDD = 2.2k
some case with psu = 1.7k.

total : 11.1k

If u still cant get enough money, i suggest that u w8 till u get that much money. You can get nothing 1st hand in 6k(that too with latest tech !!lol).

Btw these rigs are by no means latest. They are fine for gaming @ low res. Good for office and general browsing.i would strongly suggest that u keep ur dvd writer and save cash.

May I suggest that you be a good samaritan and donate your old PC to need schools of the underprivileged.

now a days everything goes as scrap so better keep ur old one or donate as stated by just4kix, n get a new one.

for rate better check with vendors they are in better position to tell u.....!

your old system might get around 4k. EXPECT NOTHING MORE COZ ITS GETTING CHEAPER AND CHEAPER

After my dad closed his office he sold(donated in our case) all his comp for free as ppl were ready to give Rs 1000 for the following config:

Pentium D820
D101Ggc
1GB ram
samsung DVD writer
80GB HDD
acse with 400W psu
17'' LG crt


so just donate it.

1)It is impossible for you to upgrade this config to the latest Technology

2)845 chipset motherboards are very old and support processors that are Pentium 4 and below .... u already seem to have a Pentium 4 processor that is 2.4Ghz .... so u can only hope to buy a new Pentium 4 processor that is 3.xx Ghz .... as it would be very difficult to sell your old processor , i recommend you carry on with it ...The performance boost is really not worth the financial loss


What you can do to upgrade your PC

--> Buy 1 Gb of DDr ram should be very cheap
-->Buy a 80 or 160GB Hard disk
-->Buy a AGP Graphic card

optional
-->2.1 speakers
-->If you have atleast a 17 inch CRT u can also consider a TV tuner card

All these will cost you less than rs7000

Apart from this u can only upgrade ur processor [but not recommended ,refer point no 2 above]

i'd agree with the guy abve and donate it, selling that old ride would just be miserness....

hi i m new to this, i just wanna know how can i up grade my computer only thing i want to up grade is my motherboard and graphics card
my current config

Asus P5PE-VM series Motherboard (it does not hav an pci-e slot)
Intel(R) Pentium(R) D 2.80Ghz , 2.80Ghz (2 cpu)
Nvidia Geforce FX 5500
2 Gb of RAM

i wanna upgrade my computer coz i m not able to play games like far cry,ghost recoon...i hav an buget of 10k...

Give the processor number.

See this thread

http://www.indiabroadband.net/comput...hics-card.html (need graphics card)

Mostly you will have to scrap your old pc there are chances of replacement with some brands

I will suggest u that keep the LG dvd writer and HDD.
First see that motherboard till what processor it will support.
for example = if ur motherboard support processor intel core2duo.
then buy only processor. ok
but i think u board will support intel dualcore.
see to that first. if not
choose board DG31pr(this will support upto quad processor) it will cost 3200
it will support ddr ram it will cost for 1gb 750 ok
it will support ur IDE HDD also ok don't worry so make use of it ur old HDD
use ur old cabinet and check the smps is AT or ATX ok
so u can make it of around (3200+750) itself ok
if not only cost increase is processor only that will be 3500 for this board if not suppor old one ok Then (3200+750+3500)

Well you can only think of upgrade if it was atleast intel D865, but since it is only Gigabyte845 so chances are very poor.
First it don't have AGP slot to accomodate Graphics card.
Second it don't have SATA port (as much i can recall), so you can't opt for a sata hard disk.
Third your motherboard only support DDR1 , which nowadays are more costlier than DDR2 because of shortage.
So take the pain, and first think of changing motherboard to a latest one before you want to upgrade
