Hi,

@rajan

For a 780G mobo(my fav)
Asus M3A78-EM Motherboard - M3A78-EM by: Asus - TechShop.in - Buy Tech

Does it contain any IDE port. Can U please confirm.
Otherwise this is good with Phenom II 920.

And regarding PSu anything within 3-3.5K.

Thanks

Since they do provide a IDE/pata chord, i m guessing they do have a IDE port. But if its there, u will get only 1.
Call techshop support and ask them. Their number is on their website.

If u wanna go for a 4850, u could get a decent PSU for that cost. But, i would recommend that u w8 another week or 2 before u buy anything. Many new products should come. Hence there should be price cuts.I will keep u informed on any such price cuts.So keep checking in.

Rajan,

Just for knowledge,

Is there any difference w.r.t. performance between MB with Integrated graphics and without integrated graphics?

I just hard from some one that MB without integrated graphics performs better with external GPU.

Thanks

I did not exactly understand what u meant. But, when u use an external Gfx card, ur onboard card is disabled. Hence it will make no difference if u have an onboard Gfx card or not.
I prefer onboard on bcos if ur card dies, u can still use the comp, u will have backup.

Always go for a dedicated GPU solution if u are into games. Onboard GPUs are a strict no no if u are into gaming. Ofcourse there is marked performance difference between the onboard and offboard GPU solutions.

The second statement can be considered as a myth

abcd_virus_007 · 02-04-09, 08:52 AM

That means for a Gaming PC,

I should go for a MOBO, that does not have any inbuilt Graphics.

But definitely MOBO having integrated graphics is a safer option.

Yes it is. If the offboard GPU conks out, u can still use the PC for daily activities..

abcd_virus_007 · 02-04-09, 10:34 AM

Which one of following will be better (with HD 4850, 4GB RAM)

1. Intel C2D E8400, (Its FSB 1333MHz)
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R/ MSI P45 Neo3-FR

2. AMD Phenom X4 9850
Asus M3A78-EM

02-04-09, 10:47 AM

In most games at present, E8400 is gonna be a lot faster. In a few more optimised games, maybe the 9850 is gonna be as fast. Between the two, i would go 4 E8400.

But hey y dont u just w8 a bit more for the 920 to come down. More price cuts soon(AM3 due in mid-late feb). That time a 920 with TDP of 95W is gonna come out too.

GTA 4 is one of those quad core optimised games. See this :

abcd_virus_007 · 02-04-09, 11:02 AM

I can go for 920 now also. It is 11.5K.

Will it better over E8400?

I am altering little bit,

1. Intel C2D E8400, (Its FSB 1333MHz)
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R/ MSI P45 Neo3-FR

2. AMD Phenom X4 II 920
Asus M3A78-EM

Among above which one is better?

And regarding waiting, right now I have no M\C at my home. So lots of work are stuck.

I can very well understand what you are asking. But I am helpless.

Please suggest from above.
