After 6 years I am tired with my P3 and got a new one today.
This time I felt like assembling it.
I was waiting to get a Core 2 since long time. Initially I thought of taking an iMAC. That is coming up with new Core 2 ones. But I felt the cost factor beyond my limit.
Then I went ahead to buy an E6400 (2.13 GHz, 2MB Shared) model Core2 from Intel. And then the motherboard I wanted with Firewire support. Only Intel P865 chipset supports firewire. So I took ASUS TEK P5B Delux WIFI AP board. This costed a bomb. Final configuration came out like this.
1) Intel E6400 - 12.8 K
2) Asus TEK P5B Delux WIFI - 18K
3) RAM 1GB non ECC Trancend - 5.5K
4) SATA 160 GB Hard Disk - 3K
5) ATI X550 256 MB graphics - 4K
6) Microsoft wireless Keyboard and Mouse - 1.5 K
7) Zebronics Cabinet - 2.5 K
8) SONY 17" LCD - 13.9 K
9) LG DVD Writer - 2K
But Motherboard is good with dual LAN and WIFI. Yet the explore the performance.
Can anybody suggest clean tools to test overall system performance.

Community Service!!
There was a good old barber in Bangalore.
One day a
florist goes to him for a haircut.
After the cut, he goes to pay the barber
and the barber replies:
I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing
a Community Service.
Florist is happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the Barber goes to open his
shop, there is a "Thank You" Card and a dozen roses waiting at his
door.
A Confectioner goes for a haircut and he also goes to
pay the barber he again refuses to take the money. The Confectioner is
happy and leaves the shop.
The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is another ”Thank you" Card and a dozen Cakes waiting at
his
door.
A Software Engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber
again refuses the money saying that it was a community
service.
The next morning when the Barber goes to open his
shop, guess what he finds there......
Scroll down for answer.................

(Believe me it's worth it!!!!!!!!!!)
