New Delhi: With computer components becoming increasingly powerful over the years, you can now have a powerful, good looking and feature rich desktop PC for as less as Rs 20,000.
For a fully functional system that easily complies with our regular computing needs like web surfing, office applications and entertainment in the form of movies and music and can also handle multi tasking to a degree, here are some components:
Processor: AMD Sempron 64 2800+ (Rs 2,100)
At Rs 2,100, there is nothing that can touch the Sempron 2800+. With a very small difference in performance between its Intel counterpart—the 2.66 GHz LGA 775 Celeron costing around Rs 2800, the Sempron becomes an obvious choice.
You may argue as to why we didn’t go for the AMD 3000+ (socket 939) costing slightly more at Rs 3100. The justification to that is we are not focusing on hardcore gaming. So, rather than spending Rs 1100 for a little more horse power, we utilised it for getting us a 2.1 channel speaker set, the Creative SBS 370.
For the technically inclined, the Sempron 64 2800+ is a 64-bit single core processor running at 1.6 GHz with 256 KB of L2 cache. It is a socket 754 processor with its successors being socket 939 and the latest, socket AM2.
