Mayi, the newer 946 chipset are engineered to support core 2 duo, but the FSB is capped only to 800.This is more for budget user who wants core 2 duo

Pricelist from Sim Lim Fuwell

Asus motherboard with Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 (Asus P5VDC-MX) - $405
PC 4200 Kingston DDR2 533 1GB - $95 x 2 = $190 (You wanted 2GB of RAM if I never interpret wrongly)
Seagate 160GB SATAII with 5 years warranty - $94
MSI NX7600GT 256MB DDR3 Tv-Out/DVI - $229
Benq DW1670 16x DVD+-RW (DL / RAM) - $50 (Got you a DVD writer instead, paying $67 for a combo is way too much)
Cooler Master Centurion 5 w/Side Window casing - $89 (black or blue, colour you choose, pricing is the same)
Cooler Master RealPower 550W 12cm Fan 24Pins - $165
OS (XP Pro) - $225

Total - $1447

Fuwell people will set it up for $20 if I remember correctly. So in total, it will cost $1467 together with the setup. OS you install yourself.

Keyboard, mouse, monitor, sound card, speakers not included.

HDD can still go for higher spec since budget allows.

OR go for another 1gb RAM. If don't want to upgrade HDD. Mr. Green

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Your friend then sucks.

He's tokking you so much money. $67 for a combo drive, ask him/her go bang wall. That price is donkey years ago.

Intel 946 chipset for a Core 2 Duo, you know where's your money going.

DDR2 RAM for $167 each, even worse. It's top end RAM, and if motherboard no support, you are throwing away money.

Graphics card for $200++, you really want to know how much he/she profited from this sale.

Our next PAP Minister. Twisted Evil

M©+square SG

Suspicious friend.
What do you think the friend is doing? Retailer?

orionlight SG

can bring up the graphics pr motherboard department to allow more rm for upgrade also.No need 3 Gb ram lah, 2 gb more than enough liao.For DVD writer, get LG or samsung one.The Benq 1670 quite problematic(bad burns)

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Can. Upgrade both also not a problem. Nice PC liao... Mr. Green

Add about $120 to the current price, and it's only $1560. Lagi best.
