[blackroses]

cooooooool man................ i dnt thnk i vl hav an upgrade.............. but, v c......

[Anusha]

cooooooool man................ i dnt thnk i vl hav an upgrade.............. but, v c......

Things could happen unexpectedly :yes: :yes: :yes:

[SANJEE]

i want to upgrade every part of my pc.......... coz it's a PIII one.........

[Anusha]

i want to upgrade every part of my pc.......... coz it's a PIII one.........

Good luck. ;)

[shanX]

i want to upgrade every part of my pc.......... coz it's a PIII one.........

I upgraded from a Piii 2 weeks ago...:yes:

Same with me, DDRs and a 7600GT. If someone gets a good DDR deal, pls post here! ;)

And for everyone's info, there's a week old 7600GS (512mb, 490/790 :cool: ) for sale, If anyone needs one

[Anusha]

So you are definitely getting the 7600GT?

[shanX]

Anusha, Not every wish comes true! Should keep praying!

[Anusha]

I was asking because you were already thinking about selling your card :rolleyes:

[shanX]

Yes, that's why am saying, Now am wishing for a 7600GT. Why do you think my card is worth keeping?

[Anusha]

Yeah, I think it is worth keeping, and start saving for a new one, unless you are going for a 7900GT or higher. 7600GS to 7600GT is not a huge jump. It wouldn't even double the performance. Besides, with overclocking, you can get close to a 7600GT (except the VRAM clock)

[shanX]

Right then... It would be a 8800 or 8600 in 2years. Hah ha...

[Anusha]

Right then... It would be a 8800 or 8600 in 2years. Hah ha...

Hehe. But you know, you will have to send someone abroad to buy one of those, even in two years, because the highend video card prices never come down in SL. They will stay as high as they can, and suddenly the product is no longer available for purchase even for that high price. They will bring the next highest end card, and keep the price at around Rs.60k-80k. :angry: :angry: :angry:

[zCexVe]

I want to buy a 4.1 or a 5.1 sound system.I'm still using the two desktop stereo speakers i ought 6 years ago with my first pc for rs 850.everytime isaved money for it i bought another thing.This time i bought a Kingston u3 2GB for rs4650 with 5 years :love:.Now i'm only left with 3k.Can i get a 5.1 around 6.5k with good sond quality?? from where? which?

[shanX]

But I have mentioned 8600 and add a GS to it!

[shanX]

4.1 Creative Inspire - 5k (guranteed by shanX©)

[Anusha]

My knowledge about speakers are limited, simply because I can't turn them high as I like at home. My mother can't take loud noises. :angry: I'm also on a 2.1 speaker set I bought almost 4 years ago.

Do you know if that U3 flash drive supports Vista Readyboost? If it does, I might buy one too.

[Anusha]

But I have mentioned 8600 and add a GS to it!

Yeah, yeah. But by the time they are available (for an acceptable price), Geforce 9 will be released. Besides, I'm not looking at nVidia. I'm looking at ATI's upcoming cards, which are supposed to be faster than nVidia's.

[nEoN_wHitE]

nothing.. i'll buy sumthign else;):D
bt not for da comp.. coz i already brought some for da comp:D

[Anusha]

You bought your hard drive no? :)

[zCexVe]

Sorry Dont know bout it.Doesn't support for linux distros.when u insert it with protection on to a linux based pc it is not recognized.only the read only partition is active.in win me only the storage works.but if u want your normal data traveller to be like u3,goto www.portableapps.com .There is a load of apps and a kit like u3 for other pen drives.

[shanX]

Man it's coincidence, I'm also facing the same trouble with my mom in switching to a multi channel speaker set, And am using Creative SBS 360 2.1 bought 2-3 years ago. But I like that 4.1. Anyway right now am searching for a Creative Inspire 2.1

However according to the place my pc is located, Its difficult to have more speakers, I should make stands for them or something, no way to wall mount.

[Anusha]

I don't want any of the software that comes with it. I need performance. I would format it as soon as I get it (if I get it).

[shanX]

You bought your hard drive no? :)

Are you asking me? If so yes Hitachi 160gb

[Anusha]

Man it's coincidence, I'm also facing the same trouble with my mom in switching to a multi channel speaker set, And am using Creative SBS 360 2.1 bought 2-3 years ago. But I like that 4.1. Anyway right now am searching for a Creative Inspire 2.1

Yeah, I don't have enough space either. But I might buy a new computer table soon, and let dad have this one to keep my old PC.

[Anusha]

Are you asking me? If so yes Hitachi 160gb

Nope. I was asking Neon :D
He also bought a 160GB HDD.

[shanX]

I can place 2 speakers, even 4 on my table, but you should have surrounds on multi channels right? That's the problem

[Anusha]

Yeah yeah. When I said I'm getting a new computer table, I meant that it will change the location of it in the room as well. Then I might have some room, but I wouldn't be able to buy one unless I change my room to one in upstairs, which is not possible for a few months or even a couple of years :(

[pasanlaksiri]

yeahh whats gonna do dat LEGO thn for u???its just a robot:):growl: :growl:

Ado Eken godak types wala robots la hadanna puluwa. And u can reprogram it.

Altech lancing is very good than Creative shit products ( only home theater products ). Price is also very very expensive.:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

[zCexVe]

[Anusha]

Never heard of Creative Live! speakers. Maybe you have confused them with Soundblaster Live! ?

[Anusha]

This is a good review imho: http://www.dansdata.com/speakersets.htm

[akilathiraj]

max

[shanX]

Yes I agree Altec Lansing is good but are not affordable, SO no good!

Thas why I say Creative, Creative . You're saying the have no bass, Creative speakers are not much loud and noice, but they produce quality crisp sounds. And notably worth the buck!

[shanX]

No I think there are Live speakers, I couldnt remember exactly but a friend of mine had SB Live or Pc works. I think Inspire is the pro version. But the're are high range stuff like Mega works ...etc

Sorry Sorry, just now read the above posted review link, my friend has a Creative Cambridge SoundWorks 2.1 awesome set of speakers along with SB Vibra 128-bit, bought 3 years ago.

Logitech has some good ones, hard to find, like x230, z5500! And Altec Lansing 251, Inspire 4.1 , read about speakers on a indian tech mag.

[Anusha]

Title says it all. I'll start.

1. A 1GB Kingston DDR2-667 memory module
2. ADSL router

First one accomplished - today. The router can wait....:rolleyes:
Bought 1GB DDR2-667 Kingston ValueRAM card for Rs.14,500 (yeah, it's expensive, I know) from PC Techonologies in Unity Plaza. Some people are selling them for Rs.15,500 etc. I think this wasn't a bad deal at all.
