do u use Raid configs also for increasing speed and reliability ? Coz they are mostly used for server purposes.

I've setup my system on RAID and it makes HDD quite fast , as data is split in no. of HDDs which indirectly increases the HDD speed.

depends upon which raid you use.

8600 gt is just rs. 3000k.

go for a 8800gt instead. its performace is way ahead of 8600gt. it even beats 9xxx series cards. but its expensive. @ about 7k.

you can connect ur lcd tv. your LCD should have a D-sub interface.

buy a 5 feet 15 pin cable (male to male) for about rs.100/-

if confused just ask for standard lcd projector cable. thats the cable you need.

right, but other setups are also useful for servers as they lead to better security of data too , i think Raid 10 would suit perfectly for tbhp forum.

8800GT is G92, same as 9800GT. Nvidia cheats us. And it is not available for 7K. Atleast 8K-9K is the cost.
If you are considering 8800gt and if at all budget permits, go for HD4850.
It is more efficient.

wow, that's how much i paid for one 6600gt back then.

Thanks for the info guys, already have a cable to connect to my tv, it came with the motherboard, have tried it, it works. Just need to know if it's good for gaming.

Does the 8800GT work eith latest games on full graphics with anti-alising. Also need to know if two 8600gt's will be better than one 8800gt.

gigy, did you get the processor locally, or was it imported too?

@xtremeshock, ZI just upgraded from my 8600gt to a ATI 4850. I must say this is one of the best value for money cards available in the market today. Its about 10-15 % of the top dogs in the graphics cards market but it still costs only around 9.5k. Go for this rather than the Nvidias.

[greenhorn]

if you HAVE to go for an nvidia , go for the 9800GTX+. recent driver upgrades have made it a contender again. its a bit more expensive than the ATI though.
