A world of Desktops
May 13th 2006 16:25
This article will give an idea to how much you will end up spending on you desktop. It will also examine the pros and cons of individual piece of hardware, software or packages that make your computer.
In the previous article we discussed that the first step to buying a computer is to first decide what you want to use it for.
Lower end desktops that are restricted to simpler tasks such as word processing and surfing the net will range from $798 to around $1400, depending on what you choose to buy with it; this may be software or extended warranty.
A Desktop capable of running graphical editing software, gaming or computer aided design would fall within the range of $1600 to over $3000. This will range mainly due to the dedicated graphics card you choose, the processor, hardrive, and the chipset.
Another factor that must come into consideration when deciding how much you looking at paying is how long you intent to use it for. A lower end computer will not be as easy to upgrade as a higher end one. This is because older and cheaper chipsets inside the older desktops won’t be compatible with the hardware as well as software that gets released two years down the track.

I really like yours here about computers. Would you agree though that it would be cheaper to build your own computer? That's what I pretty much did, it's quite top of the line and it's not even close to being 1,000 bucks spent. Building them is so easy too, it's the way to go I think.
Anyway, I'll be back often.
