Choose Home desktop computers that are right for you





Some sample desktop notebook systems

What's your Usage

Work out what you need your pc for? This is one of the key considerations when buying that desktop system. The foremost goal here is to obtain a system that will suit your computing needs. If you're using the computer for professional or business purposes, you'll want to factor stability and service support into your purchase decision. On the other hand, if you intend to use the system at back home, you may wish for a more well-rounded PC that can handle multimedia applications, web surfing simply.

What's your

When buying a PC you need to take your budget into consideration. Low-end budget systems will save you a lot of money and are suitable for most home users. High-end systems with the latest Athlon 64 or Intel Pentium 4 processors will cost more and will be more suitable for those who want to play the latest 3D games or do heavy video or graphics editing.

Some System Features

This may seem a little complicated A typical a home desktop computer has got so many components, it's hard to decide which system is good or bad. We're talking about a whole plethora of components from memory, video cards, sound cards, optical drives and so on.

Here's a stab at the some of essential components in the PC and what you should look out for:

Memory

System memory is also very important - you can never have enough of it. Typically, look for at least 512 MB of memory in the desktop you want to buy. Anything less while pose a problem for business or graphics applications.

Why a Motherboard?

If you're buying the home desktop computer off the shelf from vendors like HP, Dell or eMachines, the motherboard brand will usually not be an issue. In fact, most PC manufacturers don't publish the type of motherboard used in their desktops. The motherboard brand is of greater importance if you are building your own PC.

Hard Drives

My advice to you here is - get as much hard disk space as you can afford. A typical hard disk by today's standards would be about 100 GB at least. If you do a lot of downloading off the Internet, or edit videos or have a huge collection of MP3s, you'd be better off with at least a 160 GB hard disk.

Screens

I guess the key consideration here is whether you want a CRT or LCD display. My opinion is to go for at least a 17 inch monitor if you want a CRT display, and at least a 15 inch monitor for LCD displays. Good brand names here are: NEC, Samsung and ViewSonic.

Graphics

Computer systems come with either integrated video on the motherboard, or a physical video card. If you play a lot of games, especially 3D games like Half-Life 2, you will not want to rely on integrated video. Make sure the system has a physical video card with at least AGP 8X and 256 MB of video memory.

Conclusion to buying a home desktop computers

In summary, buying a good desktop PC is a matter of doing your research and homework by considering each of the factors above. If possible, go to the manufacturer's website to source for more in-depth material (read the fine print too). Good luck!
