Need more \'power\' in your computer equipment? Then the Intel Pentium4 or the AMD
Athlon XP (great for graphics and photos which use a lot of memory space) is for
you.

If you buy a new computer one or two levels from the top you will only lose about
five percent per tier performance but you can save a couple hundred dollars!

(RAM) Memory:
Memory is very important because optimum running of your computer equipment is
dependent on enough RAM. The minimum amount should be 256MB, for better performance
you should get 512MB. If you can afford to buy a new computer with more, you should.
It\'s worth it because you can keep more applications open and it will easily handle
memory hogs like Photoshop and music applications!

Monitors:
When buying computer equipment look for a monitor that is at least 17\" with a
resolution of 1280 by 1024 pixels. A Desktop PC with a 19-inch monitor gives you 20
% more screen area. If you can spend $300-$450 on a monitor when you buy a new
computer you might want to get a 15\" LCD because it has the same viewable area as
the 17\" CRT and takes up much less space.

Hard Drives (storage):
Most hard drives sold today will provide more than enough storage. The basic
computer equipment comes with 40GB or larger, which is plenty for most tasks. But
for working with graphics, video, music, or large databases 80GB should be the
minimum you settle for. 7200-rpm drives give better performance. But for the best
performance get a computer with 8MB of cache.

Warranty and Tech Support:
A one-year warranty on most computer equipment is enough, because most problems seem
to happen in the first year. If you want you can get an extended two to three year
warranty for around $150. to $200. If you buy a Dell you can get priority call
routing to tech support for a year for only $39.
