    I've been on a p3 733 with a crap motherboard since a long time now. Things are really on a slow down.

    My budget is a modest 375$USD (15,000 INR)

    My requirements are simple - a motherboard, processor, ram & cabinet.

    A little detail on my needs

    - my pc is on most of the time , so i would really require something that doesnt get hot & burn out
    - i need to have atleast 4 PCI slots
    - im not a gamer although a decent onboard graphics would be nice :)

    Ive always been a pentium guy , but i dont mind amd as long as the overheatheat thing doesnt come in the picture.

    Suggetions are more than welcome :)

    firstly the New AMDs dont have the problem of OverHeat and all I'm myself using AMD and my pc is on almost 24/7 and my CPU temperature is always around 35-40 Degress

    If you can increase your budget by more 6 - 7k (INR) you can get a great PC

    Maybe U Should go for

    AMD x64 3500+
    Corsair 1 GB DDR2 RAM (RAMs are cheap these days)
    Asus M2N-MX

    I got no idea about the Pricing but I think it should fit in ur budget

    You have to raise your budget to little around 20000 to 22000 INR so you'll get good pc in this range.

    Dual Core processors are cheap these days, and RAM is unbelievably cheap. As for motherboard, I'm not too sure. I'm looking at a Asus P5KC, but that's pretty expensive as it has DDR3 RAM support.
