Buying / Selecting Computer Components

That step takes more time and consideration. What things can I buy? Which is best? There are many good places to buy computer. You can go to a shop in your area. Although it is often a good warranty, you pay a little more of that elsewhere. Sometimes more. Case - There are two types of cases, desktop and tower. Desktop cases are short and fat (which can register under the screen very well.) Towers is tall and thin, it is usually placed under the desk. Deciding that it will fit in with its surroundings for the better. There are two different forms of boxes of computers. AT and ATX. you need to know what you need. In the medium cases are used by older computers, Pentium 1 and the past. ATX, and cases are used for more modern systems such as Pentium 2, 3, 4 and Athlon mother etc. - the motherboard is the central element of the system. If you want to upgrade your processor / memory / graphics card, can update your motherboard if it supports. It is always useful to the planning of a leader to purchase the best motherboard you can afford. Before choosing a motherboard consider the following. What you want to use the processor with him. What is memory. Having received an AGP slot? A port is used for AGP graphics cards 3dfx. What are the other expansion slots, they must have? You will need a minimum of 3 PCI slots. Hard drives operate at a speed special. 33MHz, 66MHz, 100MHz and 133MHz, check your motherboard supports the speed of your hard drive. If your hard drive running at 100MHz and the motherboard is going to 66MHz, then the drive is still running, but not the greatest speed. Motherboard comes in two different ways. AT and ATX, that this form coincides with the way his case. Make sure you get a motherboard manual, this guide tells you how to configure the motherboard. Processor - There are many different processors, but they are the most important discoveries. Pentium 4 / AMD Athlon processor-This is the most expensive, but the fastest around. This processor is used in systems that require performance, for example, the implementation of the game / server / web design. Currently, the highest speed processor clocked at 3.2 GHz Celeron 3200mhz / Duron - These chips are much cheaper than the Pentium 4 and Athlon. As commonly used in the middle of the user, such as word processing and surfing the Internet / e-mail play. Cirix - cheaper processors on the market. But are miles behind in the performance of the Pentium and amendments. You must decide what processor you need, also make sure the motherboard supports. Make sure you always buy a sink and fan to keep the processor cool. Warning: If your fan is not good enough for the CPU, the processor is very likely that the clash against overheating and his team. And long-term damage to the transformer. Memory - Memory is an important part of your computer, you can see what the motherboard can take. Buy the fastest memory on the motherboard will. Buy at least 128 MB is the minimum to carry out these days. I recommend 256MB. CD-ROM or DVD: Each computer needs a CD-ROM software to load. There are different types of CD-ROM. You can buy one that can write data onto a CD-ROM. You can also purchase a CD-ROM that supports the DVD. See how quickly the CD-ROM. The usual speed is 52x. Hard drive-When choosing a hard disk, there are two elements to consider, how is the size of disk capacity and how fast it goes. A 20gig unit will be more than sufficient for most users. Make sure the speed of the drive is compatible with the motherboard, if not supported because the hard disk is not working at its fastest speed, you should consider an upgrade motherboard. Video card - There are many video cards on the market, has chosen to consider these points. East located in an AGP or PCI-slot on the motherboard? AGP is a video, to buy an AGP video card with a form, checking the motherboard also has an AGP slot. How much have memory card? And how fast run? I would recommend to get a video card with at least 32 MB of memory. Sound Cards - Almost every computer has sound, I recommend that you do not use a lot of money on a sound if you want your computer to build on his lap. Check your cards and be connected to the motherboard if you have a free. Wireless keyboard and mouse - You do not need many more details here. But beware, there are two types of connections for a keyboard and mouse that is PS / 2 and USB, make sure your motherboard has connections available.
