Which data card you use while roaming ?

Hi,


I am looking for a data card providing me the best roaming in remote parts of India. (Himalayas)

I have MTNL's unlimited broadband at home. Just to stay connected while traveling I need the datacard for basic surfing.

Topic Merged.

Have you tried Reliance's data card mountaintrekker?

[mountaintrekker.india]

Reliance vs. BSNL & AIRTEL

Na, I havnt tried Reliance

But till now I've been using 3 cell GSM networks during my rides, MTNL (BSNL), AIRTEL & VODAFONE...

of these BSNL provides the best roaming esp in Mountains, which I need. Next is Airtel.

as these are GSM networks, I hope GSM based data cards would have better connectivity rather than any CDMA like Reliance

Suggest me.

I am an AMD fan and am guessing that 25k is for Proccy+Mobo+RAM only and doesnt include a Graphic Card and PSU,so here goes:
Processor:AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz Rs.11556/-
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5 Rs 11726/-
RAM:OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB DDR2 1066Mhz Rs Around 4k. Get it from the USA through KMD from techenclave.
Here's the link:Newegg.com - OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

How about:
Processor:Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Rs 10500/-
Motherboard:No definite idea.Get any Gigabyte/Asus motherboard in range.
RAM: Corsair XMS2 2x2GB DDR2 800Mhz Rs 2850/-

1)I dont see the point of getting performance rams that too from abroad.
value rams with powerchips on them overclock great.me myself have 3GB of transcend value ram @1000MHZ .just go to the shop and ask them to give u the ram module with LETTER 'P' on the barcode.

2)DONT go for asus their after sales service sucks.GIGABYTE r priced very expensive in india.but they r monster overclockers.and last much longer.

3)we invest lot of MOOLAH on the hardware and miss giving importance to the most important thing in ur cpu---POWER SUPPLY.U cut corners here
u will be saying goodbye to all the expensive parts
soon.allot 10% of ur pc cost to power supply.thats the RULE.

I assembled my 1st pc myself after doing a lot of research on net.do the same.if an accounting stdnt can do it everyone can.

MY config:
E2180 @3.1GHZ(STOCK COOLING)
1 X1GB
1X2GB @1000MHZ.
CORSAIR 450VX.
MSI 4850(OVERCLOCKED).
ABIT IP35-E.
G5 LASER MOUSE.
LOGITECH ORDINARY KEYBOARD.
ZEBRONICS BILI(MODDED WITH 6FANS)
SEAGATE 500GB 32MB BUFFER.
SAMSUNG 22X DVD .
ALTEC LANSING 2.1 SPEAKER.

AND happy gaming...err whatever that u do with the comp.

Absolutely.

You missed out the graphics hardware in your spec listing? Or maybe I missed it.

Thats a Nice Config, am going for same config that i have, Q6600 G0St, MSI Platinum Board, and Above mentioned RAM.

I agree with nightwing here, coz i've seen the difference in Transcend Powerchip RAM(which i replaced) and Corsair or for tht matter OCZ(my current), I completely agree with your second and third point but my friend has already bought PSU (Coolermaster 650w) and above mentioned 25k was only for Proccy+MB+Ram.
BTW Nice config, i've a sapphire 4850 too and they rock in details.

Getting myself an Asus Xonar DX in a day or two. Got fed up of my Creative Audigy Value. It's crackling and popping like hell since the day I moved to a new mobo and processor.
