yang ang miss ko sa Pinas, murang PC upgrades

dito kasi kinaramihan eh branded

[DonKB-PSX]

^^^ Hindi ba may ECS din sa inyo? Although personally, I don't trust ECS that much. I'd go for MSI for "cheap" mobo but "good enough" quality. Sadly, yung mga Asus na nasubukan ko (yung mga low-end na model) mukhang madali na rin magloko. (Mga 2 to 3 years lang.) Yun nga lang dito sa mga mall, usually, hindi kilalang brand binebenta. (PSUs come to mind) Malayo na rin kasi Gilmore sa akin, kaya laking tulong na rin yung PC Express sa may Pasong Tamo. Yun nga lang maraming pagkakataon wala yung tinda nila sa price list!

rsun,pcbodega or pc option subukan mo dun. sakin kasi tumagal yung lumang asus mobo mga 4 years, nung nakaraan lang nag upgrade kasi mura na ang ibang parts.

[DonKB-PSX]

^^^ He he... pag may major upgrade sa Shaw Blvd na talaga ako pumupunta. Pag may pagka "high-end" na yung piyesa usually order basis kaya nung naghanap ako ng 8800 GTS 320MB sa Gilmore na rin ako naghanap. Nagpasama na lang ako sa kakilala ko. Sa PC City pa ako nakabili. Pero sa PC Hub din ako unang tumingin mga ATI 1950 Pro "lang" yung available.

Ano po magandang video card na below 5000? Capable na po ba siya of playing Gears of War, Crysis & ETC?

[DonKB-PSX]

^^^ Yung Gears of War malalaro pa sa 7300 GT. Just make sure you have 2GB of RAM. Crysis malalaro mo rin sa 7300 GT (256MB) again, a PC with 2GB of RAM. Kaya lang yung Crysis lowest setting at 800x600 na resolution. Pero kung below P5k yung sa kapitbahay ko naka ATI/AMD HD 2600 XT siya, smooth na yung Gears of War. Naka High na rin yata.

anong magandang laptop ngayon dito sa pinas kahit hindi masyadong hi-end ok na sa kin meron na bang laptop may hdmi input he he he (i'm dreaming) anyway, if so pakipost naman and pa-refer sa magandang store na can offer a 0% for 12 mons using cc... thanks...

[DonKB-PSX]

^^^ Kung sa mall mo balak bumili, canvas ka na lang sa mga "usual suspect" stores (TCA, Silicon Valley, Accent Mirco, Villman, etc Although may kamahalan sa Villman ). Ask around kung may brochure or pamphlet sila para makita mo rin yung mga items nila na puwede i- "zero" percent interest. Bihira rin ako makapunta sa Gilmore kaya hindi ko rin sigurado kung may tindahan doon na nago-offer ng installment. Sa V-Mall, Greenhills marami rin namang mga PC stores. Sa Dynamic PC mukhang competitive yung price. (I was eying the ViewSonic VA2226w and they we're selling it for P12,800 while others like Rising Sun is selling those for P2k more!)

[ViperXtreme]

7.3K at PCHUB and blows my ol 8600GT away hehehe

[blitz-dice]

thanks, pwede na yung price

[ViperXtreme]

Expect some more pricedrops hehe. Performance wise its pretty close to the popular 8800GT, which is roughly 1-2K+ more expensive

[Last Raven]

wow ang lupet naman ng VC mo. yan na rin siguro bibilhin ko kasi mura lang.

[ViperXtreme]

wow ang lupet naman ng VC mo. yan na rin siguro bibilhin ko kasi mura lang.

Mas mabilis pa din 8800GT, pero di din ganun kalaki difference, mas mahal nga lang ng ~2K yung 8800GT.
