Look at this thread here, it has the realtime prices by people buying stuff at NP.

Latest Price Update from Nehru Place - Page 14 - TechEnclave

Computer Empire and Cost to Cost would be the best places to get your hardware cheap in Delhi. Don't know about SMC.
EDIt- Just saw whatcanthisbe's post, buddy where did you get the stuff from ?

[Shakensoul]

SMC, if you want to shop conveniently without the hustle bustle, sometimes their prices are a little on the higher side, but good people.

[whatcanthisbe]

got it from this guy I have been going to for 4-5 years now his prices were higher, about 500 on the hdd and 300 per gb of ram so I ended up paying about 1100 extra than I would have otherwise.
I have another PC i need to upgrade to the same specs so where in nehru place are SMC / CE / Cost to cost ?

[whatcanthisbe]

This is the motherboard on the other PC will it take a SATA drive ? or just IDE ?
Can I have both SATA & IDE HDD's Connected to the PC.
Will it take just DDR1 or both DDR1 & 2 '?

Socket 754 SiS 761GX/964 Chipset


Also here is a report from CPU Z about the PC
if i upgrade to 2 GB RAM will it run Vista ?

It will support both SATA and IDE, and yes you can connect both SATA and IDE at the same time.

It supports only DDR1 RAM, it will run Vista with 2 GB RAM.

I think the board has a PCI-express slot for video card.

The address for Computer Empire is

201, 1st floor, Meghdoot Building, Nehru Place.

SMC/C2C is on the same floor a fews shops away.

It does have a PCI-Express x16 slot - wonder why CPU-Z tells it is 8x AGP - maybe the built-in Video card is an 8x AGP??

Yet another question on this, i know i know ...
so my motherboard can only take ddr 1 as memory but if i get a PCI-E Graphics card ( the AGP 8x is the on board card) lets say GeForce 7300GT 512 MB DDR2
Now this has ddr2 memory will this work ?

The memory that is built into the GeForce is controlled / accessed by the chip itself, and has nothing to do with the DDR compatibility of the motherboard - you can even go for a card that has GDDR3!!
