A guide to choosing the best Desktop computer system

Posted by Filed Under Home Desktop Computers with No Comments

This article will run through each of these factors can help you avoid the many pitfalls that can stumble across, when you buy a PC.

Some sample desktop computer systems

Intended use

What do you intend to use the computer for?This is one of the most important considerations when this desktop purchasing system. The main goal is to have a system that fits your computing requirements. If you use your computer for professional or business purposes, you need to factor in the stability and service support for your decision to buy. If you plan to use the system at home, on the other hand, a more rounded PC that can handle multimedia applications, web surfing easy.

Budget

You should certainly consider your budget buy this PC.EON budget systems you will save a lot of money and is suitable for most home users. Advanced systems with recent Athlon 64 or Intel Pentium 4 processors will cost more and being more suitable for those who want to play the latest 3D games or make heavy video or graphics editing.

System functions

OK, here is where it gets complicated. a typical desktop PC has received so many components, it is difficult to determine which system is good or bad; We are talking about a whole abundance of components from memory, graphics cards, sound cards, optical drives, and so on.

Here is a knife on the main components of THE PC and what to look for:

CPUs

THE CPU is your system-the brain so that it is an important consideration when buying this PC. The older chips as the Intel Celeron or Intel Pentium 3 chips now starts to become obsolete. If you want your system to last some time, go to newer processors like Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon 64.

Memory

System memory is also very important-you can never get enough of it; at least 512 MB Typically find memory in the desktop you want to buy. Anything less at the same time pose a problem for the economy or graphics programs.

Motherboard

If you buy the system from the shelf from vendors such as HP, Dell or eMachines, motherboard brand will not normally be a problem.Most PC manufacturers publish not actually type of mainboard in their desks.Motherboard fire is of greater importance, if you are building your own PC.

Hard drives

My advice to you here is-get as much space on your hard drive as you can Afford. a typical hard drive by today’s standards would at least be around 80 GB. If you do a lot of downloading from the Internet, or edit videos or have a large collection of MP3 files, you will be better served by at least a 160 GB hard drive.

Optical drive

A CD-ROM drive is now a standard feature in all computers.Make sure that you get at least a 40 X Read speed CD-ROM. A further consideration these days would be whether you want to read and write access capacity-many computers come now with CD-RW drive. DVD-ROM drives are also being assembled in desktops. even better, some come with DVD-RW drives that you want to save the cost to purchase a separate DVD writer later.

Monitors

I guess the central consideration here is whether you want a CRT or LCD monitor.My opinion is to go for at least a 17 inch monitor, if you want a CRT monitor, and at least a 15 inch monitor for LCD displays.Good brand names here are: NEC, Samsung and ViewSonic.

Graphics

Computer systems are supplied with either embedded video on the motherboard, or a physical adapters. If you play a lot of games, especially the 3D games such as half-life 2, you will not rely on embedded video.Make sure that the system has a natural video card with at least AGP 8 X, 256 MB of video memory.

Audio

Again, it is common for computers to come with integrated audio on motherboard these days; But if you are a computer audio buff, go to a separate sound card with third party service like the Creative Audigy soundcard.

Ports

USB ports is almost standard features in desktop computing today.Actually you should verify that the system comes with support for the latest USB 2.0 specification.Even better, if it comes with FireWire ports (which is essential for video capture and editing).

Operating System
Operating System
The majority of computer systems these days is included with Windows XP Home Edition, which is suitable for home users. commercial users should look for Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional to come together in the package.

Technical support

After-sale support and warranty periods is a prime consideration, in particular, you have some experience in troubleshooting computers. most basic warranty periods last for a year or two and sufficient for the average user. don’t go for an extended warranty period without reading the fine print. most of the time, it is not necessary to have excessively long warranty periods, as computer reasonable lifetime will be around 4-5 years at most.

Recommended desktop computers

Now let’s look at some of the desktop systems I would recommend a potential purchaser. Take note of the following systems does not include a computer screen.

EMachines W3052

This is a hot desktop. running on an AMD Sempron 2 GHz processor, with 512 MB OF RAM and a 120 GB hard drive, eMachines is W3052 a top seller. also comes with a card reader, LAN support, DVD +/-RW and a pre-installed copy of Windows XP Home Edition. really incredible value at an affordable price.

Another great value for money system. Gateway 552GE comes with an Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz DVD +/-RW drive, built-in audio/video and LAN support, as well as Windows XP Home Edition to round off the package.

Hewlett Packard Pavilion a1130n

Hewlett Packard Pavilion a1130n is a spectacular machine and certainly my option, if I had enough cash detteDen comes with an AMD Athlon 64 2.2 GHz CPU, 1 massive GB RAM and a 250 GB hard drive. It includes a DVD +/-RW drive, built-in audio/video, FireWire support and a LAN adapter. A really powerful machine.
