Re: Inquiry about hardware



You can try a cost-effective Cyrix System.

VIA AGP motherboard with USB port
Cyrix M-II 300
4.3 GB HDD
64 MB SDRAM
Philips 14" 104E Color monitor
40X CDD
32-bit X-wave sound card
Trident 8MB AGP card

This config is costing around Rs.27,500/- here in Bangalore.

Regards

Rangarajan
