To start with this review will be totally based on my experience.and best of my knowledge . I have used vast combinations of machines and laptops. here is some basic requirements for home users.
Monitor
Samsung is the best one. I never got any problems using the syn 973s right now
I m using Philips 107E6 its cheaper and I think much stable.
Processor
P4 which one? In Pentuim 4 .i think .P4 2.6 is the best one. but definitely not near to AMD 64bit athlon . AMD 64 bit has enhanced virus protection(still not supported by Pentiums) EVP is future ready I mean Win longhorn that is going to be released soon .
p4 supports 800Mhz while AMD supports 2000Mhz bus speed. means lots of data transfer will make a bottle neck on Pentium but not on AMD which has two different buses for data transfer.
means less burden on the main chip to execute the data without having to wait for I/O bus(Dual)for transfer.because of its dedicated bandwidth(In memory) for processor
Amd has on-chip memory controller
this lacks in Pentium
RAM
More the RAM more is the data fetched into the processor.but the processor should be able to
retrieve that much data from memory . I mean. for p3 use not more then 256 SD RAM .for p4 Use 512 RDRAM. they are the best.
Writer
LG is cheaper . but more or less doesn't makes any difference.they are all same.
Sony is much better.
Printer
Hp is good try all-in-one hp printer with fax, scanner, printer etc features. its affordable
K/b
No multimedia please.
.Damn I had to buy 3 times a year.so use normal one better fast and very economical.
as keyboards worn out fast
Mouse
3button scroll Obviously not. use optical logitech the best one I have seen
modem
External is better but costlier.modem is something that are not used often used.so the internal is best option and is cheaper only200~400
OS
Windows 9X big'N O'. use XP home Edition best one.and stable one too. wait for Vista and Longhorn.Mmmm.its Koooool
Anti virus
AVG the best thing. *read my review *on AVG for more details.
low resource, more protection, stable version, less VD update size. and fast protection and the best thing is that its absolutely free.for home users.
Check my other reviews on'buying a computer'.
or M2M for details or any sort of questions.
