How do u buy/find a new mobo/cpu/processor?
-
i dunno if mobo or processor or CPU is the correct term but anyway how to u browse online for the mobo?
Acer and Intel all sell by set...u know with the monitor and keyboard and more....
im trying to see if i should replace my aging mobo but i cant browse through as i cannot find the catalogue... -
I take bus 147, alight near sim lim tower, cross the road and enter sim lim square, take the elevator and collect flyers.

right now im looking at Acer E500 (650M5R) and E600 (830D1R)
do anyone know the 2 pc's price w/o the monitor and keyboard? -
Go Sim Lim Square. Go straight to Fuwell and take their brochure. Slowly look at the brochure and consider which one you like.Originally posted by ceecookie:i dunno if mobo or processor or CPU is the correct term but anyway how to u browse online for the mobo?

The website I always go to check is

It is updated weekly, so make sure you download the latest one. -

heh...what i want is just 3.0 GHZ and up,video card must not be intergrated and 512MB Ram and up
-
that is not a motherboard...that's a processor, graphics card and RAM...go look for an ASUS 1 i s'pose...Originally posted by ceecookie:i dun understand the abbrevations and all the words...

oh....i just want one that have everything in it and have the casing u know.....Originally posted by lpx88:that is not a motherboard...that's a processor, graphics card and RAM...go look for an ASUS 1 i s'pose...
computer parts r so confusing -
Well thats a CPU, not motherboardOriginally posted by ceecookie:oh....i just want one that have everything in it and have the casing u know.....

is this good? (red box)Originally posted by chanff8:Well thats a CPU, not motherboard
how many GHZ and ram?
-
Its dual-core 2.? GHz. Can't see clearly. RAM not includedOriginally posted by ceecookie:is this good? (red box)
how many GHZ and ram? -
which one in the list do u recommend to me?Originally posted by chanff8:Its dual-core 2.? GHz. Can't see clearly. RAM not included
The many Asuses is the RAM?
then there's the casing and all?
budget of 700-1200 -
You buying Pentium D? It is a dual core processor. Needs at least 512MB of RAM to function. It is 3GHz and above.Originally posted by ceecookie:is this good? (red box)

I'm guessing that they are only providing you with the motherboard+processor. You have to look for the other components yourselfOriginally posted by ceecookie:which one in the list do u recommend to me?

Casing have to be bought separately. The word bundle usually means that it has the processor, video card is integrated, sometimes got sound card integrated into it.Originally posted by ceecookie:which one in the list do u recommend to me?

RAM also have to be bought separately. -
ok, for motherboard, mobo depends on your CPU also,
e.g. a pentium 840 D chip or 600 series processor chip have to use 815 mobo and above.
mobo brands include MSI (micro-star), ASUS, etc....
its good that you choose a graphics card that do not use shared ram. I believe you need 512mb graphics card because you need it to render CADCAM graphics or animation or simulation stuff.
If you need a performance PC, i recommend 3.4Ghz processor chip, i.e. 640 series above, and graphics card ATI 512Mb. (remember that large ram doesnt mean it will render the graphics fast, you also need to check GPU speed and cache channel ram speed).

oh ok following ur recommedation of a performace PC and adding every necessery components how much would it be?Originally posted by nightzip:ok, for motherboard, mobo depends on your CPU also,

it can be any brand as long as its good and do not spoil easily...i already have a functioning keyboard and new mouse+ lcd screen.... -
then basically you only need a super duper processor unit can liao.
approx. cost $800 (for simple purposes)
$1000 (better, good for undergrads, grads, excutives, doing some power gaming, simple CADCAM drawing, multi-tasking)
mine is $1700+ JUST for the processor.
for simulation purposes. 
Basic parts:
1). CPU
2). PSU (power supply unit)
3).mobo
4). Graphics card
5). Physical Ram (e.g. Kingston, 1Gb or 512Mb)
6). CD-ROM drive or DVD drive (cuz you dun want a computer where you couldnt even install windows, , cuz no drive! )
7). HDD (hard disk drive) average people 100Gb ok, if you need more buy more
. Other accessories, like system fans, cooling units, casing, wireless, modems, sound cards etc). Your own copy of Microsoft windows XP, unless you want to spend $150+ for a brand new version
After that, remember to install anti-virus, microsoft office, etc -
Its dual core, 800 series, its 2.8GHz...very good liao...but price will come down very very soon, after feb...now buy abit x though.Originally posted by chanff8:Its dual-core 2.? GHz. Can't see clearly. RAM not included -

ok im not a motherboard pro eiher...
but lets say u spent like...300-400 on your motherbopard liao...then u also need to look for other parts...can spent up to like 3000 if u want performance... -
The rate at which computer components price dropping is crazy, therefore there not much point in spending too much on it unless you are using it for some really intensive work.
In the market, the rate at which they chunk out the cpu and graphic card is too fast for most ppl to keep up therefore it best to get something that is reasonable and fulfill ur needs. The only components that i think is worth investing will be a good quality power supplyand LCD monitor. maybe keyboard and mouse too if you like to indulge urself in technology. Speaker wise, pretty much no point in getting very good one since ur neighbour will be knocking on ur door if it too loud or the bass too strong.
i think having regular maintance and servicing of the pc is also equally important too.
