My new rig main purpose is for watch HD movie. and my budget is < 3000. My main point for this rig must support DD3 1333 and HDMI output.

Option 1 - Intel base
processor - Intel E8400 RM 594
motherboard - Asus P5Q3 - RM 489
RAM - Kingston Value RAM DDR 3 1333 2GB - RM 199
Graphic Card - recommend, i need HDMI output
LCD - Dell 24" - RM 700
Power Supply - recommend pls.
Hard Disc - 500GB - RM 190
Casing - RM 200

Total here is RM2372, yet to add Graphic card and PSU.

Option 2 - AMD base
processor - Phenom II - RM 710
motherboard -
RAM - Kingston Value RAM DDR 3 1333 2GB - RM 199
Graphic Card - recommend, i need HDMI output
LCD - Dell 24" - RM 700
Power Supply - recommend pls.
Hard Disc - 500GB - RM 190
Casing - RM 200

Total here is RM 1999, yet to add Mobo. Graphic Card and PSU.
I able to find ASUS M4A79T DLX - RM 999 ,which support Phenom II and DDR 3 but it beyond my budget. Is there any mobo support Phenom II and DDR3 which cost around RM 450

My 1st intention is to take AMD.

Hi guys,

I just bought this notebook, after installed win XP SP3 and i realised that the notebook speaker & the audio jack is not working it suppose to be. Usually when we plug in the ear phone into the audio jack while the speaker will be no sound, isn't it ? But for this notebook it doesnt work in this way, when i plug in the ear phone both side, ear phone & speaker, also got sound? any1 of u guys using this model encounter the same problem as me ? or is it the hardware problem?
