One of the reasons I didnt want to get into this discussion is because any PC configuration is totally depandant on your budget, computing needs, and a hell lot of brand personal preference. You may like the P4, another person likes AMD, and don't get me started on motherboard chipsets and brands. If Naresh, or anyone in the group for that matter, wants to buy a new PC, the first thing to do should be put a layout of what will they use the computer for (office use, programming, design, gaming, and so on), and then prioritize what will their needs be in that computer (RAM, storage space, processor speed, componenet quality (read brand)) while still maintaining that not so easy balance because if you overlook one part in favor of the other, that overlooked part will become a bottleneck and make your new shiny system operate at snail speed instead of light speed. All in all, it can be a mess, depending on your needs, requirements, budget, and brand preference. This is why brands such as HP, Dell, and the others exist, to make that decision for you, and to sell you a ready made PC without dragging you in all that headache of having to go through the process of selecting every single piece of hardware that goes into that computer.
