hi Raju,

check if the motherboard is of intel or not. if it is of intel, then the 
17G hdd will be detected as an 8.4G hdd only. u wont be able to address the 
rest of the hdd space which is a lot of space actually. one of my friends 
has this problem and his dealer is dreaming up all sorts of excuses for not 
replacing the motherboard so check this thing out before u hand over the 
money. also which display card are u planning  to buy ?

best regards,
Bhavin
