I need to get a new computer for the family. We’ve gone through 3 in the last 4 years…I’m don’t know…
I don’t know much about computers. I use them mostly for emailing, shopping, downloading pics off of my digital camera and burning the on dvd’s, and downloading some songs. My oldest daughter uses them for school papers, downloading music, chatting, and burning cd’s, my 2nd daughter downloads music, burns cd’s, and plays games and webkins, my youngest daughter does webkins and some kind of barbie innernet toy, and my husband mostly surfs and plays solitaire. I don’t want an expensive computer, but I do want one that would work for all of us. The las 3 we had just quite…took forever to get on, shut off in the middle of using, all kinds of stuff. Any suggestions on a brand, what all we need to have on it, and what we’re doing wrong to all of the “dead ones” we have????
for those kind of use, I recommend a duo core CPU, about 2.13-2.3 GHz from intel, or AMD. 2 GB of RAM ( since they are cheap nowadays. a 256 mb video card, cd burner. Brand doesnt matter, but i wouldn’t recommend Dell or others. HP sounds good with the great deals. But I would build one myself. The cost for the build i gave you is about :
CPU = 59-170 depends on your build
2GB of ram = about 60 dollar
video card = 70 dollar
160 GB of hard drive = 50 dollar
cd burner = 40 dollar
or you can look for HP computers they usually build powerful computer for cheap price.
