AMD64 processor costs around Rs.4000/- in CTC, Hyderabad, India. The nVIDIA GeForce 8500GT 1GB by Zebronics can bet bought at Rs.35000/- at CTC, Hyderabad, India. The Combination of both works well.
I am using AMD64 3000+ and nVIDIA GeForce 8500GT 1GB by Zebronics but even then I feel like the graphics can still do better. I played Fifa 09 at the resolution 1024x768x32, the videos appear to be loading slower observable if seen specifically. The main point here is that I am using 1GB of RAM. I am not able to decide whether the problem is with 1GB RAM or the Zebronics assembly. I doubted that the nVIDIA Graphic card assembled bu nVIDIA itself would do better than this a t the same configuration of the PC.
I have used all the hardware in 32 bit software and also doubt 64 bit software could do much better than 32 bit.

Buy the Best Mouse for Counter Strike Game play, Mice for Snipers
In this post I want to give you some tips for buying Mice for Counter Strike very briefly, with very basic variables of the game Counter Strike. There can be many more variables which may affect you to go for some other things which might be suitable to you actually in the game Counter Strike.
Bigger Mice:
A bigger mouse helps the snipers very much. This is because you need to move the mouse very fast. While moving the mouse very fast there may be a great possibility for you to loose control over the mouse with out good grip. So you need to have good grip, which is possible with bigger mice. The bigger mice, exactly fitting in your hand will provide you greatest grip. The mouse should cover the hand area completely and the hand should completely fit to it.
Wired Bigger Mice:
This is good if you are prone to loose control over the mouse very easily. When you have a wired mouse, the mouse will exert a small amount of opposing force to the movement. This will help you to counter any unwanted movements which you might do accidentally.
Wireless Bigger Mice:
This is good if you wish to have no opposing forces on our mouse. But you need to have good control over the mouse as it will move randomly where ever you move with out any restrictions.
Smaller Mice:
Some bigger mice will make your movement slower. A small mouse can move faster but you need to be cautious to greater extent. These small mice are very helpful for rifles. The rifles need you to aim at the enemies with very precise movements at every movement. So these smaller mice can help you.
In the case of bigger Mouse, you will use your wrist and hand to move the mouse. But in case of smaller mouse you will use your fingers to move the mouse. This makes your movement faster but you need to be very precise.
Wired Smaller Mice:
In this case, as the mouse is smaller, the pressure exerted by the wire on the mouse will be higher and mouse will be restricted to a greater extent.
Wireless Smaller Mice:
This will help you mouse very fast and very randomly so you need to be very precise and accurate while shooting.
I am Presently using Logitech Cordless mini, a smaller wireless mouse and need to master it much better. You can get Logitech Cordless Mini in India for around Rs.1000/-. I bought it for Rs.1000/- in CTC Hyderabad.

Counter Strike Joystick, Keyboard and Mouse
As you know you can have joystick for gaming in Counter Strike. So there can be a great difference between the joystick play and Keyboard and mouse play.
The main controls being Look around, fire, jump, reload, the better idea would be to practice the game with Keyboard and Mouse itself. As though a joystick cannot be used for all the controls because many keys need to be pressed at once. But players who already have good control over the joystick play can make it really good.
All the professional players do use Keyboard and mouse itself. May be you can have the combination of both instead of just joystick which i don't know much about.
With a joystick, aiming will be a greatest problem. When you are using a joystick, you need to hold it with two hands which makes you to use the joystick itself and no other device. But if you are using keyboard and mouse, you can hold them seperately.

Problems while setting up Psychostats Webserver With Apache for Counter Strike
- You might be using Active Perl version 5.6.x which may not be fully compatible and better to go for versions 5.8.x or more.
- You need to install the DBI and SBS-mysql Modules for Active Perl. You can do this by just typing ppm in the run box and giving the comand "install DBI", "install DBD_mysql" each at once in the command box which appears after running ppm from run or ppm.bat directly.
- The above step will not work if you are unable to access internet or under a proxy server. For this set the proxy in he command prompt, like this "set hhtp_proxy=http://xx.xx.xx.xx:port"
- You might not have installed PHP for the webserver either Apache or IIS. Download the PHP package and do it.
- You might not have configured the Psychostats Web package. Do it by adding username and password in config.php file in that package.

DBI and DBD::mysql ppms needed for Perl to access MySQL for PsychoStats
The Intranet Server Setup is showing some problems as the MySQL module is not included in the installation package of the Active Perl. And also the Active Perl 5.10.x is said to have failed with MySQL Database. I dont know about this, but there should be some consideration for MySQL to be included in the Active Perl Package as it is hard to install it as a ppm.
Installing the modules as ppms can be directly done through the internet. But it is working only in the 5.6.x version of the active perl and it is not working in the newer versions. And the problem with the old 5.6.x versions of the Active perl was that they just support the MySQL Database Module version upto around 2.009 and nothing more than that.
The current version of the mysql module is 4.009 and is available for download at the activestate website.
The newer versions of the active perl is considered much more complex for operation because of the removal of the command promt ppm. Or may be I am not able to find it.
But for me, the repositories are being installed in 5.6.x version of active perl. And the psychostats is asking for better version.
And for 5.8.x and 5.10.x, the repository installation from the internet is difficult to carryout.
Appended:
Easy option is to get the latest version of Fedora Core, 10 or 11 and then select Perl and its addons while installation and then run stats.pl on this machine. Because this is pre-configured.
