Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P vs Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R

Hi Proximon,
Do u really think ddr2 is totally out of date and they are cheaper than ddr3 or going to be in near future? but my problem is that I can maximum afford 25000 INR for my motherboard+ram+processor+gfx card (may be a little bit more I can afford)

**According to you
1) GIGABYTE GA-EP45T-UD3P = 15500/-Indian Rupee

2) Intel Q9450 Core 2 Quad Processor - 15490/- Indian Rupee

3) OCZ 2 GB DDR 3 1333 Mhz Gold Edition RAM Price - 8150/-Indian Rupee

4) Palit NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX+ NE/98TX+XT352 512MB GDDR3 Graphics Card=Rs.10,752.77

and the total is 49892.77( !!!!! sorry at preset I can't afford that much !!!!!)

Look I really want to buy that config. but you know I've a limited budget

**What about this:

1) Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P = Rs.12,233.52/- Rs.

2) 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz (Trancend) - 1250/- Indian Rupee

3) Intel Q9300 Core 2 Quad Processor - 11500/- Indian Rupee
or
Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad Processor - 8550/- Indian Rupee

****CAN YOU SUGGEST ME WHICH GFX CARD OR COOLER i REQUIRED WITH MY CONFIG? OR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A GOOD CONFIG WITHIN 25000 LIMIT?


Waiting for your reply

My reasoning is based on US prices, where DDR3 has actually become less expensive than DDR2 in some cases. As a graphics designer, you had better get 8GB of DDR2 now though, if you go that route. The price will go up in India as well.

Is AMD expensive there? The Q9400 would be great if you can afford it. Otherwise go with the Q9300.

If you are just going to use a single card, it's quite safe to go with the UD3R. It's a fine board. I didn't realize your budget restraints or the usage.

Get DDR2 800Mhz CAS4 or 5, running at 1.8V. If the transcend fits that then fine.

I wouldn't use the Nvidia chipset on your student's board. They are not as stable as Intel chipsets... but if it's assembled and running good enough, then no need to change now.

If you are just doing graphics design on a budget, a 9600GT would do nicely. If you want to do a bit more and the price is right there, the new 4770 is a great card.

As long as you are not overclocking, the stock Intel cooler will be OK.

what software do you use for graphics designing ? that is important first . i dont think youll need 4x4 gb mem , go for 4x2 gb .single 4 gb modules are overpriced in comparision . even photoshop is fine with 8gb memory .

adding more memory beyond specific application needs will not speed up your system .do not overclock , start with 2gb transcend , and add 2 gb as you need in the future for max 8gb .

and i am from india , nowhere you will find ddr3 cheaper then ddr2 in any size .
dont go for a system that "sounds" good , buy according to your need .

Thanks for your suggestion,

Softwares I want to Run

graphic design=Photoshop + illustrator+CorelDraw
Video Editing=Premier+After Effects+Combustion+Sound Forge
2d Animation=Flash+Toon-Boom
3d Animation=Max+Maya


At present I'm working in my P4 3.06 ghz machine, mob msi 865gvm3-v
(http://us.msi.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=865GVM3-V)
with 512 mb (400 mhz) ddr ram & 80 GB SAMSUNG SP0842N. No graphics Card (I could not afford those days), cd writer, 17' LG CRT (rescently I added 2 1gb ddr)

Still It charged 25000/- INR

the softwares I ran on it (Photoshop-cs3+illustrator cs3+CorelDraw cs4+flash-8+premier pro+ AE-7+sound forge 9+3d max 8)

& Games like Total Overdose, Pacific theater, Return to castle Woolfenstain, games bond night fire, Half Life-1, Soldier of fortune-1 & recently POP warrior within (lowering all game options for POP still don't ran properly & PC rebooted)

So I want to buy a new one that will support all the softwares I mentioned above (especially for graphic design & Vid editing) & some games like Warrior within, brian lara 09 etc.

& one more thing I never heard of Over Clocking before I start searching my new configuration.

Is there no way I can get a decent system within 25k?

If your new RAM won't run properly it's probably faulty or needs more voltage than your motherboard is automatically giving it.

Without more specifics I can't say.
