WaKa WaKa Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Dont worry about the review. They search for the best overclock and timmings.

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted March 21, 2010 It costs more than I expected. About Rs. 5K more.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Owl Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 That's about $110 U.S. dollars more? Are you still going to buy it tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted March 21, 2010 My whole rig, with a D-Link router and multimedia keyboard + optical mouse, excluding LCD and speakers, It would cost me around US $900. Mainly because it's not easy to get newly arrived or expensive parts in India. Like ATI 5450 costs around $60, it's costing me around $110.

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted March 21, 2010 I had enough on my current old PC that's why I chose to buy it now. If you can extend the buying to next 3-4months. You may see some price fell down or 6 months to see drastic changes.Actually this price is soaring because our FM has put heavy taxes for this year on computer parts/technological items. Plus my father told me yesterday that there are some more changes in VAT etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Administrator Share Posted March 23, 2010 It's 6AM. And I know that if I start it would take several hours to complete.

BTW I came home with the PC at 1:30AM at night. ;)Good luck DKT, You must be really excited!Don't forget that for Win7 you can install the OS and easily enable AHCI mode after you install the drivers. This saves you from having to insert driver discs while installing Win7. Without AHCI mode, none of the new SATA features actually work so you should enable it.So just install Win7 as normal then download and install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers then you can go into the BIOS and enable AHCI mode. Just need to enable AHCI service in the registry ofcourse. 1 simple action, read here to see what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize it was also for AHCI. However, in Device Manager I see that I already have "Intel® ICH9M/M-E Family 4 Port SATA AHCI Controller - 2929". I suppose Windows 7 installed this because under Driver Details, all four files are provided by Microsoft Corporation and their file versions are all "6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255)". I read the article you referred to, How to enable AHCI in Windows 7 RC after installation, but my registry already has that value set. My BIOS doesn't show anything about AHCI. Probably this would be under the Advanced tab in my BIOS, but Sony only shows "Intel® Virtualization Technology" — everything else is hidden.Since Windows 7 installed AHCI for me, I don't think I need to install Intel Matrix Storage Manager on my Sony laptop. :unsure: Or should I? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
