Time for reconsideration? Last post suggested the P5K from Asus, but now we have a better one with a new Southbridge - P5K-E.
Should find other remarkable qualities. Priced at $142.

Motherboard
Asus has been a company which has attracted me a lot for motherboards and a lot of professional review sites have written about it a lot. Initial attractions had been towards the 'P5B' (Newegg).
And then Intel released the P35 chipset. This chipset supports the next memory line DDR3 and supports a Front-Side-Bus (FSB) of 1333 MHz (it was 1066 till now). It can also take Penryn, the next line of processors from Intel on a 45nm fabrication process (which is due by Q1 2008 for desktops).
So, the new Asus favourite is 'P5K' - an entry into the main motherboards segment. Newegg says
it costs $135, which should be ~INR 5500 here.
I don't know much about what it does, but many praise it :-). Now, Tom's has used it for its System Builder Marathon.

Welcome to InTeGeR, the PC!
This blog is meant to plot the journey to the PC am planning to by around the end of this year. Well, depending on financial situations, it may be pushed even further.
Every time, I feel attracted to a product that fits my price range, you should see a post around here.
Budget? Am looking at around Indian rupees (INR/Rs.) 60,000 which could be roughly close to USD 1,500.
Processor - When Intel Core 2 Duo came out, E6300 with its $183 price tag seemed very favourable.
Now, Intel has improved FSB to 1333 MHz and now my attention has slowly shifted to Intel E6750. PCStats has covered it in their review today. The review ends with them mentioning this as the best on an average IT(their)HO.
Specs:
Name: E6750 Intel Core 2 Duo
Core speed: 2.66 GHz
FSB (Front Side Bus): 1333 MHz
L1 Cache: 64 KB
L2 Cache: 4 MB (2 MB per core)
Multiplier: 8x
Socket: LGA775 (LGA = Land Grid Array)
TDP (Thermal Design Power): 65W
Core voltage range: 0.962V - 1.35V
Stepping: G0 (newer), B2 (older)
Manufacturer process: 65nm
Transistor count: 291 million
Price: INR 8,600 on Deltapage, 8,900 on Priceguru.in (US$206)
