The
specifications of machines are constantly changing.
Processors are getting faster, the amount of memory in a
standard machine is always going up and storage space
keeps increasing. How to familiarise yourself with the
current trends? The best bet is to buy a recent PC
magazine and go through the articles and advertisements.
Or even cheaper - browse through this site and other
technical sites..
If you're buying a new
PC, or planning on upgrading your system, how far do you
need to go? £500 or £5000? Well, it depends on what
you want to do. If all you want to do is balance your
chequebook or do some writing, you don't need as
powerful a system as for playing games or creating Web
pages. Decide what you're going to want, look at the
specifications for some machines and ring round for some
quotes.
