I bought the PSU locally as the price on newegg was the same as local store prices (~375$). The cards I ordered off amazon for 650$ each. Can't order from newegg as they dont accept indian cards.

where do you normally go to buy buy all your hardware in bangalore...650$ for ultra how much for the gts

reignofchaos · 28th July 2007, 02:11

Duh... not in bangalore. I'm travelling right now

. If you do need a graphics card for cheap, send me a PM. I can forward you a link where you can get a GTX for 25 grand.

no i am asking which are the best places in bangalore to buy comp hardwares....and are the c2d really that impressive are they better that amd 64fx...what is the speed of the e6600 stock....whats the difference b/w c2d and core 2 extreme

reignofchaos · 28th July 2007, 02:43

In bangalore, head to SP Road. Lots of shops there... look around and bargain for the best deals. C2D/C2Q is much much faster than anything AMD has right now. The stock speed of an E6600 is 2.4GHz. The only difference between C2D and C2X is that the extreme has an unlocked multiplier.

chetan · 30th July 2007, 12:42

@ chaos how much would it cost if you had bought the ultra and gts locally i mean in the US and what about the customs when you bring it here

reignofchaos · 31st July 2007, 12:07

American prices for GTS is around 350-360$ for the 640MB and 270-280$ for the 320MB. Ultra costs 650 or so. Customs... well one can avoid paying a penny if one knows how to deal with them.

chetan · 31st July 2007, 12:41

thanks for the info i had contacted you a few time on TE i hop you dont mind but i need your help in assy a pc well not right now may be next year....one more Q if one is usinga credit card then is there any interest charged to it...

reignofchaos · 1st August 2007, 06:43

Well not all sites accept indian cards. A few such as amazon etc do so look for the best offer from those sites. A dollar generally costs a bit more on the credit card than the going market rate.
